Social Networks sites like Face Book and Twitter continue to grow
Facebook is taking up more space at the docklands as news comes of a further 70 jobs being created in the social networking sites head quarters based in the heart of the Dublin Docklands.
These badley needed new jobs are being created in engineering, sales and finance and are further testament to the growth in social network sites as previously discussed on this blog.
Facebook is based in California and has over 300 million members and over a million members here in Ireland. Those stats alone are seriously worth considering for Irish Medical Recruitment Agencies looking to tap into the current talent pool in Ireland and abroad.
Small wonder that as previously discussed on this blog, social networks are clearly percieved to be the way forward in future recruitment. Indicative of this were the comments of facebook’s CEO, Sheryl Sandberg, who said at the company’s video presentation yesterday, that the company had not really considered anywhere else other than Ireland because of the number of qualified people here in Ireland.
Ireland has seen a considerable increase in numbers of highly qualified medical, science and R&D professionals looking for jobs in the fields of Medicine, Science, Research and Development and the recruitment for these jobs is moving further away from traditional jobs boards to the universally available mediums of social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
Heres to a brighter more social future.

High Value Jobs are still being attracted to and being created in Ireland
Its not all bad news on the jobs market. IDA Ireland have announced in the past month alone a number of new expansion and investments by major multinational clients involved in Pharmaceutical manufacturing, R&D, software production, customer and financial services who will be creating several hundred science jobs over the next five years.
Granted there have been job losses too; but these are high value jobs that continue to be created, are in the knowledge economy where long term investment is crucial as these attract additional support positions and are generally indicative of long term rather than short term commitment by MNC’s.
This is borne out by more and more multinational firms who have decided to set up their research and development departments in Ireland, again a key indicator of long term confidence and future commitment.
Medical Device Manufacturing and advanced manufacturing firms employing plastics/ polymer, manufacturing and life science engineers for the biopharma industry continue to recruit which can be attested by the high levels of activity within the Irish Recruitment agency market especially those catering for Medical and R&D Jobs.

Wafer Fab Technician at Work
The Appliance Of Science by Irish Engineers and Scientists is not to be underestimated and should be a beacon to those who have followed in their wake. More so today in a time where jobs have been outsourced to cheaper locations overseas for example from manufacturers such as Dell who have recently outsourced from Limerick to Lodz in Poland.
In the past year alone, Ireland has had the misfortune of seeing large numbers of jobs outsourced to low cost economies in Eastern Europe and Asia. Undoubtedly we have not seen the end of these events and perhaps this is symptomatic of a maturing economy and a further reason to develop a more cohesive strategy of moving toward a knowledge based economy that offers greater numbers of high end / value jobs.
To this end on a more positive note we have seen investment flowing into Ireland by a number of Multinationals who have decided to base their R&D centers here. Intel, Diageo, Pfizer, Boston Scientific and Hewlett Packhard to name a few have all announced plans to establish or expand existing research facilities which encouragingly are not focused in any one sector but are diversified into almost every high tech sector ranging from nano robotics, polymer sciences, medical devices, semiconductors, biopharma and advanced manufacturing systems.
Irish scientists have been at the fore front of scientific research following in the footsteps of Robert Boyle, the father of chemistry, George Boole, the father of computer science, Francis Beaufort, author of the Beaufort scale. There are no shortage of gifted, inteligent scientists in Ireland today and it is a compliment to our educational system that Ireland globally, is well represented across all fields of modern scientific research and development
Modern Irish Scientists and Engineers are developing and applying scientific principles to all aspects of Industry that will someday provide the nucleus of high end manufacturing facilities that will anchor employment in Ireland and provide jobs for our graduates ensuring we do not experience the brain drain that hitherto has been experienced as a result of limited job opportunities for locally educated graduates and professionals.
