Tech company unveils 200 posts to staff its new European hub
More than 200 jobs are to be created in Galway by a global technology company following the establishment of its European hub in the city.
Plans by Diligent Corporation to open new international offices in Galway were announced this week by local Minister for International and Road Transport and Logistics Hildegarde Naughton.
The leading tech firm has developed applications to streamline management functions, collaboration and secure information sharing currently used by more than half of the Fortune 1000 companies, as well as 70 percent of the FTSE 100.
Minister Naughton said that Diligent has decided to create more than 200 local jobs in Galway in the areas of customer support, finance, HR and marketing. Its investment has been supported by the Government through the IDA.
“At a time of uncertainty in many respects for the regional, national and international economy, this is a massive vote of confidence in Galway and its ability to attract investment from both foreign and domestic enterprises,” she said.
“Diligent is a massive company of international repute, whose technologies are trusted by some of the largest global corporations and most influential brands. It is continuing to grow and I am very pleased that it has chosen Galway to be its springboard to even greater success in Europe.”
Minister Naughton said that the quality and reputation of Galway’s graduates, as well as the city’s infrastructure and quality of living remained key factors to attracting investment from global employers.
