Description
AURES Holdings, one of the largest car retailers in Europe, is to expand its business operations and create 114 new positions in the Czech Republic by the end of 2022. The company is looking for call centre operators, mechanics, programmers, IT specialists, and data analysts. There are several reasons behind the job creation: the company has been breaking records in used car sales and wants to increase them; moreover it is opening new branches. The recruitment of Czech employees is part of a broader plan to increase the number of employees across Europe (AURES Holdings-2021-EU).
