Xerox is expanding in Romania with a new Bucharest office and a recruitment drive. The company is looking to hire 440 people for a variety of positions, including human resources, IT, financial services and customer services, as well as starter positions for young, inexperienced applicants.

Xerox's new office is in the Multigalaxy II building in Northern Bucharest and as well as searching for employees to work in the new office, Xerox is continuing to recruit for the office opened in Iasi late last year. Of the total 440 new jobs, 140 are for the new office in Bucharest, while the remaining 300 are for the office in Iasi.

As well as specific technical skills, Xerox is looking for applicants with a knowledge of foreign languages, especially English, German and Italian. The company has indicated that demand from Europe for business process outsourcing (BPO) has motivated the expansion.

“This is a great opportunity for young speakers of languages with a knowledge of computers and for experienced administrative professionals who want more from their career,” said Xerox Business Services Romania HR Manager Florentina Vasiliu. “At the moment we are particularly interested in German speaking IT support services in our new office in Bucharest.”

Best known for making photocopiers, Xerox also offers services for businesses. Xerox provides document management products and business process services to companies around the world and is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Currently the firm has over 140,000 employees in 160 companies. Xerox entered the Romanian market with a first office in 1968.
