Have you ever wondered what keywords do Irish job hunters use to find job sites in Ireland? Well our good old Google is here to tell us. You can query Google Trends for any given keyword, and even compare how keywords do against each other. By putting in enough keywords, you will clearly see what is ‘in’ and what is not as a keyword.

It is also important to mention the word ‘Jobs’ as a part of the search phrase. The graph below shows the total volume of the word ‘jobs’ used compared to the other strongest keywords in the Irish recruitment industry.

Note also the locations listed below. You did not rally expect Sligo to be listed on the top position, did you? A huge disproportion of output of the education system and jobs available is the cause for this.

Dublin, the capital is not in the top ten locations by volume of the searches for jobs in Ireland? You did not expect that one either? Well, both number of new positions, in this vibrant city and the local presence of the Irish Recruitment Agencies in the city advertising everywhere, a job in Dublin will ‘lend’ on you really. You do not need Google to find one!
