It was announced today that Sigmar will create 50 jobs in Co. Kerry. The positons are for international recruiters to work in the company’s European Talent Hub, which has just opened in Tralee.  
 
The first of its kind in Ireland, the European Talent Hub will harness international talent for other international markets from its base in Tralee. The Sigmar employees in Kerry will be filling roles in IT for European markets with candidates from other countries.  
 
Sigmar is currently seeking candidates to fill all of the vacant positions and calls for applicants from all backgrounds regardless of experience and education. Sigmar is investing in the development of a bespoke, world-class learning & development programme designed to equip individuals with all of the skills and knowledge necessary to become successful international recruitment specialists. 
 
Earlier this year, Sigmar announced a strategic partnership with French staffing giant Groupe Adéquat.The partnership deal is structured through a staged equity investment over a five-year period that will see Groupe Adéquat take majority interest.
 
Speaking following the announcement, Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Heather Humphreys said, "I warmly welcome Sigmar’s decision to open their European Talent Hub in Tralee. This new facility is a great vote of confidence in what Kerry and the South West have to offer."

Sigmar Recruitment CEO, Adrian McGennis added, "This European Talent Hub will be a key element of Sigmar’s stated international growth. It’s also an operation where we can develop and test new technologies including robotics and Artificial Intelligence. We have been working on the processes, technology and markets for some time to accelerate our international expansion."
