Oxford International To Create 50 Jobs In Cork
Information Technology and Engineering recruitment specialists Oxford International, a division of On Assignment, announced a new €16 million investment at its Cork-based European headquarters which will result in the creation of more than 50 new jobs over the next 18 months.
The move will nearly double the number of employees to 130 at Oxford International's Penrose Quay facility, making it the largest recruitment office in the Southern region, Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD was told during a visit to its Cork office today.
"I'm delighted to welcome the announcement of 56 new jobs in Oxford International's European HQ," the Taoiseach said. "This is a great boost for Cork city and for making recovery local in every part of the country. We are building the recovery on the principles of jobs, stability and growth and the Government will continue to support enterprise as we make our country an attractive location to invest, expand and create new jobs."
Oxford is a division of On Assignment which has over 2,850 employees in its network of approximately 130 branch offices throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium and Spain. The expansion in Cork will make it On Assignment’s largest European office and the flagship of their business in Europe.
The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
