Irish employers have reported strong hiring intentions in Q3 2025 with a Net Employment Outlook (NEO) of 29 points. The employment outlook has increased by 3 points and by 4 points compared to the previous quarter and this time last year, respectively. Ireland ranks third in the region for its employment outlook, standing 10 points above the regional average.
Ireland’s economy shows positive momentum, driven by high domestic demand and a healthy labour market. Though USA tariffs could have a disproportionate effect, especially in the pharmaceutical sector, the tech sector continues to thrive, with an increase in AI funding like software company Tines’ €125M deal in April. Projected GDP for now remains a strong 4% and the economic impact of global trade uncertainty more likely to hit in 2026.These factors have reinforced Ireland’s short-term hiring confidence.
