13 new jobs and £600,000 investment for Decision Time

Decision Time is creating 13 new jobs this year in software development, sales, customer service, HR and marketing. The new jobs are being created as part of an investment of almost £600,000 in the business. 

Invest NI has supported the creation of 10 of the roles with an offer of support of £75,000. This will help increase the company’s headcount from 17 at the beginning of this year to 30 by the end of 2021, with further recruitment expected in 2022. 

Some of the jobs have been filled and recruitment for some of the others is ongoing. 

Three of our new team members - Susan Hill, Head of People Management; Tracey Braziel, Head of Marketing & Communications; and Mary O’Kane, Sales Executive - started with the company on International Women’s Day in March. During April, a fourth member, Paul McSorley, Inside Sales Representative, joined the team.

Sinead Higgins, Business Director of Decision Time, said: “We are delighted to be in a position where we can create new jobs to support the growth that we experienced in recent years and to enable us to expand further in the future. Decision Time puts a huge emphasis on attracting and retaining the best people so that we can deliver exceptional products and customer service to our customers. We are therefore offering a really fantastic package to team members including a generous profit share scheme for all staff, significantly increased annual leave, a healthcare plan and industry leading flexible working practices.” 

Talking about Invest NI’s support for the company, John Hood, Invest NI’s Director of Multi-Sector said: “Decision Time has built an excellent reputation with its first in class software and has an impressive customer portfolio across the UK and RoI with over 250 customers using its software at present. The company has reached a pivotal point in its planning for future growth and has decided to follow a more ambitious path with the creation of 13 jobs at its Antrim base. These are well-paid jobs, which will ultimately help the company build its customer base and expand its sales outside of Northern Ireland and RoI.”
