Accenture set to hire 150 Romanians at Bucharest outsourcing centre

Accenture, specialising in management consulting services, technological solutions and outsourcing, is going to hire as many as 150 people this year at its BPO unit, which will boost its turnover by as much as 50%, Nicholas Butt, head of the company's BPO centre, said in an interview with ZF. The company seeks people in fields such as finance, accounting, HR, insurance and procurement. "We're recruiting a lot of university graduates and helping them grow. We do not target rapid expansion of the BPO centre, but a controlled one," Butt stated. He added Bucharest is one of the company's key growth locations in Europe, generating a sound source of income for the company. In Romania, the company has 7 major clients, from the music industry, air transport and services, said Accenture representative without providing further details. All the seven clients are foreign companies, with two of them also having subsidiaries in Romania. The company wants to gain another three contracts by yearend.
