Description
Financial and administrative services group Alter Domus is to create 100 new jobs at its Cork offices. This is on top of the additional jobs created last year when the company increased its Irish headcount from 100 to 180 people. Offices in Dublin and Cork serve as a European hub for services to private debt, private equity, real estate and infrastructure investors with over €1 trillion in assets under administration globally.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin was reported as saying: “The creation of 100 new highly-skilled jobs at the Alter Domus European Centre of Excellence in Cork shows the rich pool of talent we have in this country. The company’s 10-year commitment to Ireland as a leading player in the alternative investment industry has been an important part in that success story".

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.

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.
