Jobs.ie says it recorded a 66 percent spike in traffic this day last year, and is expecting similar numbers again later.

"People have gotten through January and maybe are now starting to reassess where they were.

"We're into February now and everything is starting to settle back down and so it just tends to result in a spike in job applications and job searches."
