Description
I.T. Alliance Group has confirmed it has 120 job vacancies in Ireland and the UK. 78 positions will be in Ireland, with the remaining 42 in the United Kingdom. The company has also seen an increase in applications from non-British EU nationals following Britain's vote to leave the EU, increasing from 10 to 30 out of 180. This is likely a reaction to uncertainty around the future rights of migrants living in the UK after Brexit, even those with high skills such as computing and software engineering. Indeed, the company has acknowledged that relocation to Ireland was mentioned in some of the applications as remaining working in an EU member state is desirable. The roles will be spread across three divisions of the organisation: outsourcing, resourcing, and cloud computing.
