“Our activity is expanding, especially in the engineering area, but we are also hiring new people for our offshoring, supply chain, sales or market survey departments. We are looking for 500 higher education graduates in all,” said Dana Oprisan, head of HR with the Renault group in Romania.

“There are two types of profiles we are looking for: a technical one for the engineering area that may also be interesting for the supply chain area and one with foreign language skills.”

Most of the new people hired, 300, will work for the engineering center of the group, the second largest after the center in France.

The suitable candidates for the offshore activities (services for other countries of the group) are those who possess foreign language skills, Dana Oprisan says. They should speak English first of all, but French or German are a plus, she added.
