Specialist recruitment firm Lucas Love is launching a new award recognising excellence in the IT field in Northern Ireland.
IT’s All Happening, awarding outstanding contribution to the IT sector will reward employees at all levels of an organisation who have contributed to the development and deployment of innovative IT systems improving business operations or enhancing public services.
Speaking at the awards launch, Bronagh Donnelly, IT recruitment consultant, Lucas Love Recruitment said: “We are working with a vast number of IT professionals from across Europe on a daily basis.”
“From finding them the perfect IT job, in the right organisation in Northern Ireland, to assisting them with career development, their needs are at the heart of our organisation.”
“We felt launching the award would be the ideal way to highlight and reward the innovative people driving our IT sector.”
The award will be judged by industry experts, including independent professionals and members of the business community and media.
“There are more than 100 international organisations with large IT functions based in Northern Ireland, including Navinet, Kana, Aepona, Allen and Overy, NYSE, Fidessa, Fujitsu, All State, Liberty, Oracle, CyperSource, CME Group and Citi Group.
Only 15 years ago, this list may have seemed farfetched,” continued Ms Donnelly.
“It is an exciting time in the Northern Ireland IT sector. In addition to a number of start-ups Invest Northern Ireland is promoting Northern Ireland as an important hub for technology and financial services companies with considerable success.”
Technology firms are praising the skills available here and at Lucas Love Recruitment we are encouraging IT professionals across the Island of Ireland and abroad to join the expanding list of NI tech firms and benefit from the vast pool of opportunities available here.
Deadline for award nominations is 5pm, November 18, 2012.
