It is currently employing 1,100 people in its two services centers in Romania in Bucharest and Sibiu, so the number of employees should increase by more than 200 in 2015, says Daniela Varcellino, recruitment manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa with the company.

“Romania is a country where we still want to grow and where we can invest in people, so we estimate we’ll increase the number of employees by 10% in the first three months of 2015.”

The company hopes to increase headcount by 20% by yearend, which will depend on projects and the personnel turnover, Daniela Varcellino said.

Most of the new jobs to become available at Stefanini next year will be in its Bucharest services center, where 90% of its local employees work. It will also hire people for its Sibiu center, which provides IT support services for markets like Germany, Austria and the German region of Switzerland.

Stefanini arrived in Romania ten years ago and its revenue reached about 76 million lei (EUR17 million) in 2013.
