Just 3% of tech firms are asking their employees to work in the office full-time. This is a significant drop from 8% last year and comes after companies experienced more resistance than they had anticipated, according to a 2024 Flex Index survey of 2,670 tech companies that collectively employ over 11 million people.* While 38% of tech firms had an “employee’s choice” model in 2023, today that percentage has jumped to 56%. It’s now the most popular policy among tech firms, with 79% of tech firms surveyed being fully flexible.

For this reason, Grow Remote curates a live list of remote roles available for talent based in the Republic of Ireland and manages an archive of career resources for jobseekers anywhere in the world. Grow Remote is always keeping an eye on the supply of remote jobs in Ireland - today, 15% of all jobs are listed as remote (according to Linkedin). Are you ready for your next role?

Last year, Grow Remote hosted social connection events for remote workers across Ireland, Portugal and the UK. We designed these events in response to research highlighting social isolation as a challenge for remote workers.
