Very cynical move by Paypal. There are more than enough highly experienced and trained people to fill full-time positions. But I suppose if the government is willing to provide cheap labor to huge multi nationals!

So Much for Paypal coming to Dundalk. I got excited until I saw THIS:

Paypal is part of eBay . eBay first opened its doors in Ireland in 2004 when they set up a small European customer support center in Blanchardstown, Co. Dublin.
Now it is home home to their EMEA Center of Excellence for eBay Marketplaces Customer Support, PayPal Customer Support, and other business units including eBay Classifieds, Magento, BillMeLater, and StubHub.
Ebay and Paypal are now one of Dublin’s most recognized employers. With over 2,000 people working here helping millions of eBay and PayPal customers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Paypal are opening another office in Dundalk , Co Louth soon and are expected to be employing about 1000 people there .
The type of jobs available at Paypal will be jobs such as …
Operational Account Manager with German (PayPal)
Merchant Fraud Appeals Fluent Turkish (PayPal)
Dutch Customer Solutions Agent
Customer Solution Agent Italian (PayPal)
Talent Acquisition Coordinator (PayPal)
Fluent German Fraud AgentNightshift (PayPal)
Lead Generator Spanish (PayPal)
Brand Risk Management Dutch (PayPal)
Lead Manager Risk Operations (PayPal)
Find More Jobs at Paypal in Dublin and Dundalk at
http://jobs.ebaycareers.com/ie/dublin-jobs

How many of us in this town speak fluent German, Turkish, Dutch and italian? Sounds more like good news for those not native of the country but living here, but certainly not for us natives bar those who have training in these languages.

Good news for the natives.

130 Customer Solutions Agent jobs for the U.S market have been released today. Those not fluent in German, Turkish, Dutch and Italian can still complain as these jobs will of course be evening/nightshift.

I do not mind working at night, so I applied for the position. First I had a telephone conversation with HR last Friday and was told that in a few days will be invited for a job interview. has anyone else had applied for it and got some response from them?

Great news for Dundalk.

I wish some such big ticket investment comes to Drogheda too.

Any point applying with no experience?

Contact them and ask! Only they know.:rolleyes:

ShiverinEskimo

I know a few who got jobs in eBay and they were all about experience. Most needed no fewer than 5 references at least three of which were from an employer I believe with two others from a colleague.

Given PayPal are a financial institution I'd imagine they would be fairly rigourous.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Imagining what they are like is no substitute for just enquiring directly and getting the facts.

MugMugs

I know some awful wastes of space and they have jobs in there and thrive.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Give it a shot and stick an application in.

The worst they can say is no.

Who pissed in your cornflakes? Guy was on asking us for our advice/opinions and I gave mine based on the fact I've completed 3 colleague references for current employees all of which were based on experience in call centres. I was asked to note their abilities in regards to stats, knowlegde, ability to deal with irate customers and professionalism etc. Very detailed.

Since those 3 have started in eBay they've spoken about how much stricter everything to do with Paypal is due to that area of the company being subject to financial institution level procedures and regulations. It's not exactly a stab in the dark to assume they will target experience in their hiring practices.

Of course they should apply and find out for themselves, but he asked us what WE thought in the mean time.

Anyone know if they are hiring at the moment?

There was a multilingual open day last Saturday. I got the email about it as I have a French name - I'm not fluent though.

They are always looking for fluent German/French/Russian speakers for the Dundalk office, from what I've seen

Please be aware that a refferal involves giving your CV to a total stranger on the Internet.

Be careful who you give such information too !

Im going to apply for jobs AS you and then do a completely half-arsed job, therefore giving you a bad name throughout the land.

Point proven

danrua01

I'm also going to use your phone number to phone into quiz shows and give completely wrong answers. Humiliation.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

Also, why would anybody refer a complete stranger for a job?

Just send your CV in directly!

MonkeyTennis

Because the referrer gets money if the applicant is successful

100%!

Maybe I'll split it...

The Enemies

Paypal has become a really toxic place to work over the last number of months and for many the pressure has become too much. Absenteeism due to stress is at an all time high and many of the staff are suffering from high levels of anxiety and stress. People who have left due to the current working environment have not been replaced which in turn has led to others sharing the extra workload which in itself brings its own worries. Staff feel like they are constantly being bullied and are not getting any support from TL's or management.
Rumours are rife that some of us may have to commute to Ballycoolin if we are to keep our jobs. Other departments are worried about the roll out of automation, which will literally make many roles redundant. There is an air of despondency over both sites. Are the IDA grants coming to an end?

A neighbour works there and he says he heard a rumour they will downsize if and when the EU changes corporation tax rates here, and that our government will have to agree to EU tax rate harmonisation.

It is the uncertainty, and it is no secret the EU is unhappy about our tax arrangements with multinationals. Last year in the Irish Times there was a study "Ireland is the world’s biggest corporate ‘tax haven’, say academics"

Word in financial circeles is that the EU has stood by Ireland over Brexit but we may well have to pay Europe back...EU leaders will put pressure on Ireland over corporate tax. Who knows.

Yes I think we are going to be a major fall guy, if there's a hard brexit it will make the recession of 2008 look like a great bit of craic.

Possibly. Or maybe not, I would much prefer to see all sides wanting to make Brexit work for everyone at this stage. The EU attitude that Britain must be punished (to discourage other countries like Italy from leaving the EU) is not helpful in my opinion, but shure what do I know.

Hopefully solutions can be found. Anyway lets hope Paypal and other multinationals stay big employers here.

ShiverinEskimo

If anything brexit will guarantee our corporate tax rates will remain untouched for years to avoid a double-shock to the economy. The commentators can begrudge our rates all they like but we retain tax autonomy in any case. Would require a change and agreement to EU taxation policies which Ireland wouldnt agree to unless those Shinner/AAAPBP idiots ever somehow managed to get control.

Shut the front door.

Massive redundancies announced this afternoon, across the board. Maeve didn’t even tell me in advance.

Someone get me some more Solpadeine Plus. I’m not signing one of those NDA’s.

Keep it under your hat.

There were a tonne laid off in the States the other day as well.

PAYPAL is cutting about 20 staff in Dublin and Dundalk "to enhance the way we operate", the online payments giant said yesterday.

A spokesman told the Irish Independent the layoffs reflected PayPal's need to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry.

"From time to time, we conduct small-scale restructuring efforts to align teams to support key business priorities ... to continually enhance the way we operate," he said.

PayPal declines to specify current employment levels at its European services hub in Dublin or its Dundalk unit. PayPal's most recent filing with Irish authorities put total 2017 jobs at 2,443.

PayPal has stressed it plans to keep investing here.

It lists 54 open positions here - 40 in Dublin, 14 in Dundalk - ranging from director of EMEA employment legal affairs to seven posts requiring fluency in German, others in French, Russian and Dutch.
