High Levels of Remote Working

The share of remote or hybrid working jobs in Ireland has reached a record high despite return-to-office mandates at several well-known companies according to the 2025 Irish Jobs & Hiring Trends Report from Indeed.

The share of Irish job postings mentioning remote or hybrid work rose to 17.5% at the end of December 2024, more than four times that recorded prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. This increases to 41% for software development jobs posted were either fully remote or hybrid, behind the media & communications and insurance sectors tied at 43%.

Indeed found a close correlation between the job categories attracting the highest attention from abroad and those that are the hardest to fill. The data shows that engineering, tech, professional and agriculture occupations are among the most difficult for employers to recruit for.

The share of job postings open for more than 60 days on average is highest in civil engineering at 46%, followed by industrial engineering (38%), software development (35%) and insurance (34%).
