Despite a softening in the labour market in recent months the competition for talent is set to continue into 2024, according to recruitment website IrishJobs.
The platform said its data has shown high levels of demand over the past 12 months for professionals in sectors including construction, engineering and healthcare.
It is predicting that businesses will continue to face challenges in a tight labour market with skills shortages prevailing across a number of sectors.
IrishJobs said that new developments in AI and automation will have a significant impact on the recruitment landscape over the coming year.
"Like all sectors technology is playing a huge role in how we recruit talent," said Sam Dooley, Country Director of The Stepstone Group for Ireland, with responsibility for IrishJobs.
"Employers need to embrace this and be proactive in adapting to innovation and a changing labour market."
"With skills shortages across a number of sectors, taking a skills-focused approach to hiring can support more employers secure talent in the months ahead," Mr Dooley said.
IrishJobs is predicting that 2024 will see employee experience continuing to rise in importance for companies.
The platform said it also expects to see an increased focus on supporting age diverse workforces.
