It was announced today that Global recruitment company, Glassdoor, plans to open a Dublin office in 2016 with the intention of creating up to 100 jobs over three years.
They are currently commencing recruiting efforts for employees specialising primarily in Sales, Marketing and Customer Success.
Glassdoor combines free and anonymous reviews, ratings and salary content with job listings to help job seekers find the best jobs and address critical questions that come up during the job search, application, interview and negotiation phases of employment.
The company launched in 2008 and has raised approximately $160 million from Google Capital, Tiger Global, Benchmark, Battery Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures, DAG Ventures, Dragoneer Investment Group, and others.
As of today, Glassdoor offers Irish job seekers well over 33,000 job listings and first-hand insights into more than 2,6001 employers in Ireland, including leading employers such as Google, Accenture and Version 1.
Insights into companies include employee-provided company reviews, salary reports, interview reviews, benefit reviews and office photos. Globally, Glassdoor has more than 10 million pieces of content across 445,000 employers.
Approximately 54,000 companies participate on Glassdoor through a Free Employer Account and another 3,000 employers are clients, leveraging Glassdoor’s job advertising and employer branding products.
This project has been supported by the Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said, " I am delighted to welcome this major announcement and I wish Diarmuid and the team every success with this project."
Head of Glassdoor International, Diarmuid Russell said, "We are excited to expand our global footprint by launching in Ireland to provide greater workplace transparency for Irish job seekers into local employers, and in turn helping employers recruit more effectively.
"In addition to be being focused on better addressing the needs of the European jobs and employment market, the opening of the Dublin office in 2016 is an opportunity for local job seekers to join Glassdoor and help build and shape a tech start up that is in hyper-growth mode."
