The IT consulting company OCTO Technology has announced the recruitment of 200 employees in 2020 at the national level. The breakdown of the new positions is as follows: 183 employees are sought in Paris, 7 in Lille, 5 in Toulouse and 5 in Aix-en-Provence.
Since its acquisition in 2017 by Accenture, OCTO Technology expanded to 600 employees with an annual rate of 1,300 assignments. This new recruitment strategy aims to strengthen its areas of expertise with profiles highly prized by the Enterprise Social Network market (Data, AI, DevOps, Tech Leads, Consulting). The strategy also reinforces the regional teams based in Lille, Toulouse and Aix-en-Provence, where there is a concentration of industrial areas and demand of digital tools is growing.
