Harvey Nash IT  said 40 of the new roles would be directly involved with the company in Ireland in the areas of recruitment and support services.

The IT specialist firm said the move was spurred by a growth in demand for workers in the technology, life sciences and finance sectors.

According to the firm, there are not enough suitable candidates to fill roles in these areas.

The jobs will be filled over the next two years.

There has also been growth in the number of tech start-ups as well as demand from the multinational sector.

The company is hiring recruiters, support staff and consultants.
