Professional contractors are powering Ireland's workforce, marking a significant shift in hiring dynamics, according to new data from Matrix Recruitment. Women and those over 50 are outperforming in the contract market, while exclusive recruitment partnerships are emerging to tackle a competitive hiring landscape. Matrix's latest Q2 2025 Workforce Trends Report spotlights a growing demand for contract professionals, increased pay transparency, and a new emphasis on diversity, flexibility, and sustainability expertise. "Employers are leaning heavily on contractors to maintain output during hiring freezes, project surges, and hard-to-fill roles," says Breda Dooley, Head of Recruitment at Matrix Recruitment. "Our clients are prioritising agility, and the data shows it's changing who gets hired and how." Contracting on the Rise Contract roles have become central to workforce planning in Ireland; indeed, some 85% of businesses planning to hire on a contract basis in 2025. "Companies are leveraging contractors to cover critical gaps, reduce long-term headcount costs, and accelerate delivery on strategic projects," says Breda. "To support this shift, Matrix offers flexible contract and temporary hiring solutions, including fully managed payroll services to ensure fast, compliant onboarding without overburdening internal HR teams." Women and Older Professionals What's more, for the first time in five years, female contractors are earning more per day than men, according to Matrix data. The average day rate for women across IT, engineering, and healthcare reached €565, compared to €548 for men - a €17 per day historic pay gap in favour of women. Contractors aged 50+ are also in high demand for their expertise and dependability, particularly in technical and operational functions. "The market is recognising the value of lived experience and reliability," says Breda. "Women and older professionals are becoming an integral part of workforce strategy - and that's reflected in pay and hiring activity." Candidate versus Application In recent years, the Irish jobs market has undergone a rapid transformation with the rise of e-recruitment and technology. Nearly all of the Global 500 companies now use some form of online recruitment, which has major benefits and downsides. While job ads are generating high application numbers, many of these applicants lack relevant experience or genuine engagement with the role or employer, notes Breda. "A true candidate is someone who meets the criteria and is sincerely interested in the position," she says. "Quantity doesn't equal quality and hiring managers need curated shortlists, not inboxes full of generic CVs. Although job boards generate huge application numbers, that doesn't equate with viable candidates." Exclusive Recruitment Partnerships Matrix reports a surge in exclusive recruitment arrangements in engineering, finance, and manufacturing, as companies seek faster hiring cycles and better outcomes: "With exclusivity, our consultants can dedicate more time and deliver higher-quality shortlists," says Breda. "It helps reduce time-to-hire and boosts candidate experience. By contrast, multi-agency models often lead to slower results and duplicated efforts." Remote and Hybrid Flexibility The Q2 report also found that remote and hybrid work options remain a top priority for candidates, particularly in finance, office support, engineering, and quality/laboratory roles. A significant portion of Irish managers even implement "hushed hybrid" arrangements to allow their teams flexibility against company policy. However, Matrix advises that clear communication around this helps employers attract stronger talent and achieve better offer acceptance rates. "Flexibility isn't just a perk anymore: it's a strategic advantage," says Breda. "Companies who prioritise hybrid options benefit from a broader and more diverse talent pool." Bottlenecks in Hiring The report concluded that employers still face delays in int...

【聊了什么】 在纽约市长民主党初选中，名不见经传的33岁州议员佐赫兰·马姆达尼（Zohran Mamdani）以惊人的胜利击败了前州长库默（Andrew Cuomo），震惊了美国政坛。马姆达尼是一位自我认同的“民主社会主义者”，他的崛起不仅可能让他成为这个全球金融中心的第一位社会主义者市长，也标志着美国进步派运动取得了历史性的胜利。 从讨论“餐车通胀”（Halalflation），到娴熟地运用各种新媒体策略，Mamdani如何在短短数月内从民调个位数迅速攀升，赢得了这场看似不可能的选战？他提出的冻结租金、全民学前班等政策，在纽约这个贫富差距巨大的城市中获得了怎样的回响？当进步派的理想主义遇上纽约错综复杂的政治现实，他又将面临怎样的挑战？ 本期节目中，我们与身在布鲁克林的嘉宾小钟一起，深入剖析的马姆达尼的崛起之路，探讨这场选举背后纽约市的阶级、种族和代际政治变迁。 更正： 播客中提到AOC赢得初选为8年前，实际上是7年前 播客中引用了《纽约时报》的分析，提到18-24岁是初选中比例最大的群体，但此数据在录制之后进行了更正，显示25-34岁的选民所占比例更高。 播客文字稿（付费会员专享）：https://theamericanroulette.com/zohran-mamdani-nyc-mayor-cuomo-transcript 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 06:17 精英家庭出身的“草根”候选人马姆达尼 11:00 马姆达尼与AOC的相似之处 15:20 “社会主义者”标签的背后 17:33 Mamdani如何靠社交媒体赢得选战？ 25:31 谁在支持Mamdani？ 28:43 对变革的渴望：为何选民抛弃建制派？ 33:38 前州长库默为何输掉选举？ 45:07 马姆达尼的政策蓝图与可行性分析 51:17 理想主义 vs. 政治现实：马姆达尼执政将面临的挑战 57:37 进步派市长的执政困境 01:08:18 马姆达尼如何应对反犹指控 01:17:49 民主党与进步主义的未来与挑战 01:25:22 11月市长选举展望 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 小钟：布鲁克林居民 主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。 【 What We Talked About】 In the New York City Democratic mayoral primary, a little-known 33-year-old State Assemblyman, Zohran Mamdani, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a stunning upset victory, sending shockwaves through the American political establishment. Mamdani, a self-described 'democratic socialist,' whose rise not only positions him to potentially become the first socialist mayor of the global financial capital but also marks a historic victory for the American progressive movement. From discussing "Halalflation" to adeptly using a range of new media strategies, how did Mamdani, in just a few short months, surge from single digits in the polls to win a race that once seemed impossible? How did his proposals, such as a rent freeze and universal pre-K, resonate in a city marked by a vast wealth gap? And when progressive idealism meets the complex political realities of New York, what challenges lie ahead for him? In this episode, we're joined by our guest Zhong, who is based in Brooklyn, to do a deep dive into Mamdani's rise and discuss the shifting dynamics of class, race, and generational politics in New York City that this election has brought to the forefront. Corrections: In the episode, we mention that AOC's primary win was eight years ago. This was a slip of the tongue; it was actually seven years ago. The episode references a New York Times analysis indicating that the 18-24 age group was the largest demographic in the primary. This data was subsequently updated after our recording, showing that the 25-34 age group actually had a higher turnout.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. New York reporter Luke Tress joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. US President Donald Trump threatens to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani should he win the mayoral elections in November, and Tress discusses the president's repeated comments about the anti-Zionist candidate and Mamdani's proposed plan to oppose Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities in New York City. Tress offers an overall look at the trajectory of Mamdani's political ascent and his surprise upset of former New York governor Andrew Cuomo during last week's New York City Democratic party mayoral primary. He discusses the likelihood of Mamdani winning the November general election in the mostly Democratic city, and how Mamdani's anti-Israel activism, a facet of his political life since his college days, will challenge New York City's Jewish dwellers, who comprise the world's largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Tress examines Mamdani's opponents, including former governor Cuomo, who leaned into the Jewish vote, and current New York City mayor Eric Adams, who kicked off his independent candidacy after Mamdani won the primary. He discusses the pro-Jewish initiatives rolled out by Adams during his mayorship and in recent months, and that Cuomo and Adams share a similar voter base in New York, an overwhelmingly Democratic city.
