Job candidates at a recent Career Zoo event.
THERE will be a range of job opportunities for Kerry candidates highlighted at next week’s Career Zoo, Ireland’s premier career event, which takes place next Saturday, October 15 at the National Convention Centre, Dublin.
A number of companies from across the country, such as Kerry-based company FRS Recruitment, will be attending Career Zoo looking to fill positions across a number of sectors, such as technology, biotech and financial services.
Speaking in advance of the event, Jackie Slattery, Director of Career Zoo, said: “Over the past number of years that we’ve been running Career Zoo we’ve noticed a real increase in the quality of candidates attending the event. They are highly professional, looking for opportunities to progress, and for companies that offer them family-friendly, flexible work options and non-pay-related perks.”
“The big shift is that it’s now a candidate’s market, rather than an employer’s market, and some of the organisations attending recent Career Zoos have made over 20 direct hires as a result, so we would be encouraging candidates from Kerry to come along next Saturday to see what’s on offer to them from companies such as FRS Recruitment.”
The event takes place twice each year at the Dublin venue, attracting leading tech employers and over 7,000 attendees each time. There will be approximately 50 employers in attendance, including financial services and biopharma companies, in addition to tech-industry leaders.
The line-up will include panel discussions focused on topics such as future tech, cyber security, FinTech, big data and BioTech. There will also be coding workshops, hacks, and a series of talks on promoting diversity in tech. To register, go to www.careerzoo.ie
