Ireland has recorded a 33.6% increase in its share of searches for jobs in Europe since 2015, a new study reveals.

The new research, from jobs website Indeed.com, shows that Ireland recorded the second largest increase of all countries, coming in behind Luxembourg.

While the UK remains the most popular choice its attractiveness is waning after the 2016 Brexit vote.

Indeed said the UK's 31.8% share of EU15 cross-border job searches in the first nine months of 2017 is 14.7% lower than it was during the same time in 2015.

The analysis also suggests that the UK's loss could be boosting other countries' gain.

Germany saw its share of searches rise by a fifth (19.3%), while Luxembourg's rose by 56%.

The reseach also showed that Ireland's strong jobs market - and the waning appeal of Britain's - prompted a 16.5% fall in the proportion of Irish job seekers hoping to move to Britain.

Mariano Mamertino, EMEA economist at Indeed, said that for much of the past 10 years, the UK's dynamic labour market has made it a key destination for ambitious Europeans keen to progress their careers.

"Last year's Brexit vote hasn't stopped that attractiveness in its tracks, but it is clearly giving many European jobseekers pause for thought," Mr Mamertino said.

"It will be interesting to see if recent political events, suggesting a softening of the UK's position on Brexit, will stem the decline that's being seen in the UK's attractiveness to European job seekers," he added.
