PwC has announced plans to create 500 new jobs in 2016.
The accountancy firm, which is one of the “Big Four”, says it intends to hire professionally qualified people and graduates and will focus on attracting talent home from abroad.
PwC will be recruiting in the following key areas; assurance, technology, digital, data analytics, cybersecurity, financial effectiveness, regulatory compliance, risk management, deals, international tax as well as financial services and fund administration.
These workforce expansion plans are in direct response to a significant increase in client demand, boosted by Ireland’s robust economic performance.
Feargal O’Rourke, PwC Ireland Managing Partner, said: “We have ambitious growth plans for 2016 and beyond. And as Ireland’s market leading firm, helping our clients further expand their businesses, we’re also aiming to attract specialised skills to come home. Ireland is a great place to work and live and, with our growth potential, now is an exciting time for people based internationally to consider a career at home with PwC.”
PwC is looking for talented people to help execute its exciting growth strategy across all lines of service. In assurance, this expansion is directly linked to recent successes in the marketplace as well as companies looking for a broader range of comfort. A changing tax landscape is increasing demands for specialist services from both international and domestic companies.
With digital disruption being high on the agenda, the firm’s strongest growth is in advisory as companies seek to leverage technology in everything they do. And its market leading Deals practice is seeing a significant increase in activity as the M&A market returns to normal.
Feargal O’Rourke added: “All of this reinforces our commitment to excellence in everything we do as well as providing exciting and rewarding careers for all of our people.”
Susan Kilty, People Partner, PwC, concluded: “We’re looking for people who are passionate about what they do, who have strong business analytical and communication skills and who will work with our clients to achieve success. In turn, working with Ireland’s leading professional services firm they will meet great people and have great opportunities. And advising some of the world’s most respected brands they will get great experience in a collaborative and supportive environment.”
