Description
Software services provider Stream is to create 300 new jobs in Londonderry. The company has an office in the Ulster Science and Technology Park on Buncrana Road in Londonderry and will also open new premises in the Waterside area of the town. Manager director Jeff Jennings said that they have already started recruiting.
'We're looking for a broad range of people so it's not going to be all technical support like the jobs in the past within Stream,' he said. 'We will be looking for people with good customer services experience and from all age groups - people with good empathy - now we are starting to chase the silver surfers, as they call them, the older people getting into broadband.'
