Description
German HR technology company Personio, is to create 140 jobs in Dublin by the end of 2021. The company designs all-in-one HR systems for small and medium-sized firms and intends to make its Dublin office its new international business and software engineering hub. It currently employs 40 staff in Ireland. The company has existing locations in Munich, London and Madrid and employs 550 people.
Personio’s chief revenue officer Geraldine MacCarthy, who leads the Irish operation, said the new roles would be across a number of functions, including sales, customer support and engineering. Ms MacCarthy said Personio had recorded significant growth last year in part due to the Covid crisis as it assists companies to digitise their HR processes.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
