It's hoped the creation of 125 jobs in Leitrim will attract new workers to the region.
Software company Cora Systems based in Carrick-on-Shannon made the announcement this morning.
CEO Phillip Martin set up the business in 1999 with a workforce of just three and the company now manages over 100 billion dollars' worth of projects every day.
He believes an educated workforce in the region as well as its close proximity and links to ATU Sligo will be beneficial to the recruitment process
Speaking to Shannonside FM, the Carrick native believes its good news for Leitrim with the recruitment of these new positions already in progress.
''The Atlantic corridor has a wealth of people who have probably moved away to either the bigger cities, the Dublin's or the London's of the world and maybe now is the right time to move. All our vacancies are open right now. We're trying to expand our technical team. If you've got the skills then we would love to hear from you right now.''
