400 JOBS ARE to be created in Cork by technology outsourcing specialist Voxpro.
The full-time roles will be spread across the business in management, training, tech support, CX operations, sales, trust and safety, and finance.
The announcement will bring the total number of Voxpro jobs in Cork and Dublin to 3,000 and globally to 5,000.
The company said further expansions are planned over the next 18 months.
Alongside the new jobs, the company is also opening a new office in City Gate Mahon, adjacent to Voxpro’s current headquarters in Cork.
As well as its Irish locations, Voxpro has offices in Northern America, Central America, Europe and Asia. It supports customers in over 400 languages around the world.
Voxpro was founded by Dan and Linda Kiely, starting with just six employees in 1995.
“This rapid growth for Voxpro is a testament to the quality of service and talent displayed by our wonderful teammates, both here in Ireland and in our international locations,” Dan Kiely said.
“Looking ahead, we are excited by opportunities that are available to us, as a result of our partnership with Telus International, working together to combine our strengths as one team.”
The announcement has been welcomed by the IDA.

Super news!
Technology company!?! It’s a bloody call center… They’re picking up contracts and jobs that Filipino and Indian outfits don’t want anymore. They pay basically a few pennies just above minimum wage to take the negative look off things. People in these places are “battery hens” with little job security and whose mental health outlook is atrocious..https://www.ukessays.com/essays/psychology/call-centers-impact-on-the-health-of-employees-psychology-essay.php
@John Ryan: I get paid nearly €11 an hour and it’s such grand work, depends on the contract you’re on I guess but where I am it’s a very nice place to work
This is very good news along with the recent expansion announcement by Irish Distillers for Midleton….jeez Cork is flying it….
Well done cork
Great, but more traffic combined with the proposed high rise in Jacobs Island
@eastsmer: “Everything before but is horseshít” you could at least try to hide your negativity in a shit sandwich no?
Serious housing shortage in Cork too though.
Unless it’s been addressed,
Here’s Voxpro talking about staff staying in hostels
Growth will reach a plateau I guess.
And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
have your say
