100 Jobs To Be Created By Qualtrics

Qualtrics is to create a further 100 jobs in Ireland bringing the total number of employees at the company to 250 by the end of 2016.

An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD, and Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton TD, made the announcement while officially opening the company's new 27,000 sq ft EU Headquarters in Dublin.

Qualtrics has been supported by the Department of Jobs through IDA Ireland.

Mr Kenny said: "The creation of 100 new jobs in Dublin by Qualtrics is great news for Ireland's reputation as a location for young, innovative digital companies. These new jobs will contribute to the goal of the Government's Action Plan for Jobs to create 100,000 new jobs by 2016.

"When Qualtrics first decided to establish its operations in Ireland, it did so because of the talent available here, Ireland's pro-business environment and our proximity to European markets. This has proved to be a winning combination over the past 18 months with the company planning to further expand its headcount to 250 jobs by 2017."

Minister Bruton said: "The tech sector is a key area which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and in the past four years we have put in place a range of new measures to support growth in this area.

"Less than two years ago we were at Qualtrics to announce the creation of 150 jobs – today's announcement that they will exceed that target and create 100 extra jobs is very welcome news. I look forward to working with Ryan and his team as they roll out this project."
