Description
Food takeaway chain, Domino's Pizza is to create 350 new jobs in Ireland. The new positions are being recruited due to an increase in takeaway sales during lockdown and will allow the company to keep stores open later.
The new roles include management positions, team members and delivery drivers. The company will provide training in customer service and food quality, as well as individual training for pizza chefs and other specific roles.
As of July 2021, it is still not clear when the recruitment will start and when the recruitment will be finished. But the company announced that 175 additional staff had already been recruited across its operations in Northern Ireland last month.
The company currently employs almost 2,000 staff and contract workers across its 85 Irish stores.

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.
