The Dutch company is present in ten European countries. The Romanian branch currently has 100 employees in Iasi and will end the year with turnover of EUR3 million.
“We have developed business in Romania because we found competent and loyal employees. We did not come for cost reasons – had we wanted this, we would have opened an office in Romania 10-15 years ago,” Henkens says.
The average wage in Centric IT Solutions is EUR825 per month, according to Eelco Vissinga, CEO of Centric IT Solutions Romania. This is three times higher than the net average wage in Iasi county.
The company, which has two offices in multifunctional compound Palas Iasi, continues to hire, planning to have 300 employees in Romania within the next four years.
In the other European countries where it is present, Centric also provides other types of services such as IT outsourcing, business process outsourcing and recruitment, besides software development.
