\"\"More than half of employers believe the Irish employment market will be more attractive post-Brexit.<\/p>\n

The Morgan McKinley Irish Salary Guide shows that despite the risks associated with the UK’s withdrawal from the EU in March, 52% of employers see opportunities for growth.<\/p>\n

The report also found that salary increases this year are likely to be in the region of 5% on average, and as much as 20% for in-demand skill-sets such as architecture and cloud computing.<\/p>\n

Tracey Keevans, Global FDI Director at Morgan McKinley, says there are a number of reasons to be optimistic about employment post Brexit.<\/p>\n

“As where previously the UK would have been a default location for some of those international companies to establish, Ireland is now becoming the default location,” said Ms Keevans.<\/p>\n

“But the second part of the Brexit piece is talent. We know from a number of reports, more recently the CIPD report in the UK talked about a 95% fall in EU nationals as part of the UK workforce and we have definitely been the benefactors.”<\/p>\n
