Google to Hire 500 for European Hub in Ireland

A New York Times article by Eamon Quinn, via The International Herald Tribune, reports that:

Google, the leading Internet search company, said Wednesday that it would hire 500 more employees in Dublin as it makes its Irish facility the largest outside the United States.

The central Dublin offices, which first opened with five employees in 2003, could have more than 1,400 people by the end of next year if Google can attract technical personnel and graduates in language studies from around the world, said John Herlihy, director of online sales and operations in Europe.

Google has 10,000 employees worldwide, including 3,000 at its headquarters in Mountain View, California.
