HP seeks 600 people for 2011 for Bucharest services centre

Hewlett Packard (HP), the domestic subsidiary of the world’s biggest IT company, is set to hire 600 people next year for its GeBOC services centre of Bucharest, after having recruited a similar number of people in the first ten months of this year.

“By this October, when the fiscal year ended for HP, we hired for the 600 new positions we’d announced. We plan to hire a similar number of people in 2011 as well,” said Alexander Weigl, managing director with the GeBOC centre.
The company’s representatives say that 2,500 employees work at present at the centre. HP last year reached 88m-euro turnover and income worth almost 17m euros, according to Trade Registry data.
“Whereas three years ago we looked for candidates without experience for entry-level positions, at present we’re seeking candidates with at least two years’ experience, with sales and client relationship abilities,” specified Anca Tapai, a recruitment manager with HP Romania.
