Hiring for Projects & Change in Ireland.
The flow of jobs has been consistent across both permanent and contract mandates, with the contract focus being on 6-12 month hires.
We have noticed a significant mindset shift in traditionally permanent Projects & Change professionals being open to contract employment.
