Choosing to stay in the NW after Christmas

HOME for Christmas? Why not stay? That’s the message from Tech North West’s “Choose to Stay” Recruitment Day which takes place on Monday, December 23rd from 2-4pm in the Building Block, Sligo.

The event aims to shine a light on the flourishing career opportunities available in the North West while living in a beautiful setting with shorter commutes, lower living costs and an escape from the pressures of city living.

The event is hosted by Tech North West, a group of tech companies, start-ups, innovators and educators based in the Sligo/Leitrim area, whose mission is to highlight the region’s growing reputation as an Irish epicentre of cutting-edge tech that offers great career prospects and a culture that values work-life balance.

With over 100 jobs planned for 2020, some of the companies who will be present on the day include indigenous tech houses Cora Systems, Trojan IT and Clanwilliam Health, multi-nationals Overstock, E3 Retail and ASG, as well as exciting start-ups such as Frankli.

Speaking about the event, Tech North West Chairman David Kenny: “I think people will be genuinely surprised at the level of innovation here and the world class talent that is already returning to the North West.

“There is a real high-tech ecosystem developing here and it’s a really compelling career move for those interested in being here that have the right skills and experience”

John Nugent, Regional Manager, North West Region, IDA Ireland said:

“IDA Ireland and the Local Enterprise Office are delighted to support and promote this event in conjunction with the growing Tech North West Cluster.

“The North West Region continues to attract new, highly-innovative and dynamic companies from overseas alongside exciting local companies – all offering superb employment in a worldclass location.”

The “Choose to Stay” Recruitment Day kicks off at 2pm talks from the participating companies and will wrap up with some networking.
