Giant leap for tech company as recruitment begins for new roles

Poly, the audio and video technology company, has begun recruiting staff for its new European headquarters in Galway.

Poly is the company which built the headset used by Neil Armstrong in 1969 to communicate one of the world’s most famous phrases from the moon.

The company formally signed the lease at the new Crown Square office development in Mervue, which will become its EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Centre of Excellence, employing 200 people.

Applications are open for a variety of roles across software engineering, sales, human resources, customer support, legal, and finance.

Scheduled to complete its fitout and open its doors later in the year, the company will create the 200 jobs over the next four years in its Research & Development lab – designed to serve as “the innovation heartbeat for the company’s 65 offices across the globe”.

New recruits will be based in the Crown Square development, which will also include offices and accommodation.

Galway West TD and Minister of State, Hildegarde Naughton, said: “The world of work is changing, and with it comes highly distributed workforces and new hybrid working policies and practices. Global companies like Poly sit at the heart of that transformation and their commitment to Ireland, and especially Galway, is a great boost to our growing technology sector.”
