Description
Semcon, a technological consultancy firm, is to create 300 new consultancy jobs in Sweden. The creation of the new jobs comes as a result of the firm experiencing rising demand for its services across Europe. This is a result of the increasingly fast product development of car manufacturers, and the subsequent desire for greater technological expertise that this entails. Semcon employs 3800 in Sweden. As of August 2007, there is no information as to when recruitment of the new employees will commence.
