The report also found that over one in 10 (11%) job postings in Ireland mentions AI, more than equivalent job postings in the US, UK, France, and Germany, reflecting the tech sector’s sizable footprint in the Irish economy. The research also shows that remote and hybrid work mentions reached a new high of 19.4% by the end of December 2025 – more than four times higher than pre-pandemic levels. Indeed’s report shows that while job postings in Ireland are well down from peaks seen in early 2022, they still remain 7% above their pre-pandemic baseline as of January 2026. The share of Irish job postings which include salary information has dipped recently to around 34%, its lowest since late-2022, though incoming EU legislation is expected to result in increased transparency. Dublin Chamber’s latest Business Outlook Survey found that nearly four-in-five businesses (78%) now operate a hybrid working model.
