Antrim-headquartered IT services company Outsource Group has announced 40 jobs that will primarily be based at its local head office.
The company, which acquired IT security consultancy Ansec IA earlier this year, has experienced ongoing strong demand for its products and services across all its markets this year, securing a number of high-profile clients locally and abroad.
The new roles will be in sales and technical positions, including technical support engineers, project engineers, sales support executives and account managers.
Recruitment for the positions is already underway, and once filled, they will take the company’s headcount to over 100 people, with additional growth plans also in place.
Terry Moore, CEO of Outsource Group, said: “There is no doubt recruiting in the IT sector remains challenging however our focus on staff development and wellbeing, the work flexibility we offer, our enhanced remuneration packages and the ability for staff to work with leading technologies in a multi-awarding winning company, all underpinned with a culture where our people really matter, have all helped us secure and retain some of the best talent in the marketplace.
"Being headquartered in Antrim, a 20-minute commute out of Belfast, has also ensured that we are recruiting from a large talent pool across Northern Ireland.”
“The unprecedented success of our OSG Cloud suite of services and IT managed services and security offerings, have been further enhanced with the addition of the UK’s leading dedicated security consultants in Ansec IA."
Moore founded Outsource Group in 2000, and it now has offices in Antrim, Belfast, Cookstown, Dublin and Edinburgh. The company appointed Patrick McAliskey, founder of manager services provider Novosco, as chairman to supports its growth plans earlier this year.
Commenting at the time of his appointment, McAliskey said: “I see Outsource Group as a company that is set to achieve really rapid growth, win big contracts and attract the best talent.
"The company is incredibly well led by Terry Moore and his management team, and they have the vision, the ambition and the plan to do really big things, both in the short term but also over the longer term.
"I’m incredibly excited about working with the team and helping them shape and deliver on their plans.”
