Technology company Oracle has today announced a major recruitment drive. The organisation, which provides business software and hardware systems, plans to recruit 1,700 new employees in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This includes many entry-level positions, suitable for graduates or those looking for an early career-change, a number of which will be based in the UK.
Graduate jobs available include both technical roles, such as developer and engineer, and sales positions. Many of the roles are in the latter group, for which technical degrees are not required.
Oracle’s vice president of technology solutions, Alan Hartwell, commented: ‘It is safe to say this is one of the biggest graduate recruitment drives the company has ever undertaken in the UK.’
The news about Oracle follows hot on the heels of a number of other positive developments for IT job hunters. Last month a survey carried out by a membership group for e-retail organisations found that job opportunities were growing in e-commerce, with 63% of online businesses increasing staff levels over the past year. Earlier in July, technology consulting firm BAE Systems Detica announced that it was increasing its graduate recruitment from 120 in 2010 to 150 this year and 200 next year.
