Significant jobs boost for Cork

71 new jobs were announced on Tuesday for EY’s Cork office, as part of a wider announcement to create 816 new jobs on the island of Ireland, adding to its current headcount of 3,400.

The 414 experienced hire roles will be advertised and filled by the end of EY’s current financial year (30 June, 2022), while a further 402 roles will be filled by university graduates starting this autumn.

A variety of roles will be filled across its core areas of tax, audit, corporate finance and consulting as well as in new growth areas including technology consulting, digital and emerging technology, data analytics, cyber security, sustainability, law, strategy and transformation. The firm is also recruiting heavily across other growth areas.

EY Ireland continues to perform strongly as its world class teams respond quickly to the evolving needs of its client base. The firm is experiencing growth across each of its business areas which has necessitated a greater demand for talent across a diverse range of skillsets and specialisms.

New hires at EY will have the opportunity to join the firm’s great teams who work with Ireland’s top entrepreneurial businesses, multinationals, private and public sector clients.

606 of the roles will be Dublin-based, while the remaining 210 roles will be located in Cork, Galway, Belfast, Limerick and Waterford. This follows a period of market-leading growth for EY.
