Description
The consultancy firm Deloitte announced a plan to recruit 2,200 employees between 1 October 2016 and 30 September 2017 across all units in France. Two thirds of the new hires are expected to be young graduates. About 30% of them will be engineers. The expansion is mainly linked to the digitalisation and the big data activities. According to the management, about 20% of their current turnover comes from activities that didn't exist 5 years ago.
