45 New Software Jobs For Sligo
Some 45 new jobs are to be created in Sligo by online discount retailer Overstock.com, the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has announced.
The Salt Lake City, Utah-based online discount retailer employes some 1,300 people worldwide, will create a new software development team in Ireland.
Making the announcement, Richard Bruton TD said: "A key part of the Government's Action Plan for Jobs is ensuring that we support job-creation across the entire country. We have put in place a number of measures to deliver on this, including the Succeed in Ireland scheme, which has seen the delivery of multinational investment to regional locations which would not normally come onto the radar of IDA companies.
"Today's announcement that leading on-line retailer Overstock.com is to establish a key technology group here, with the creation of more than 45 jobs in Sligo is great news for the north-west, and is a significant endorsement of both Sligo and Ireland in delivering the needs of multinational companies."
Commenting on the announcement, Barry O'Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland said, "Sligo is one of Ireland's Gateway locations. IDA Ireland markets Ireland's Gateway locations to companies across the world. Companies like Overstock.com are mobile investors and the availability of the right staff in the software development sector is a key attraction to Sligo."
