Description
Online food delivery company Just Eat is opening a new Headquarters in Dublin in February and is creating 160 new jobs. The positions will be mostly based at the new Dublin offices and will be in customer service, sales, office management and facilities. The company also plans to recruit couriers in several locations across the country.
The job creation announcement is related to a huge increase in sales and profits over the previous 20 months, during the Covid restrictions. The reopening of the hospitality sector has not affected the company’s growth, as many restaurants are keeping delivery services as a core part of their business.

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.
