Starting with August, we take a natural step: grow in a new direction, for which we want to recruit the best engineers in the area, who will work in one of the most modern Siemens IT centres in Romania”, declared George Costache, CEO of Siemens Romania.
The company already started hiring in Cluj-Napoca through a wide recruitment campaign, carried out by means of online recruiting platforms, partnerships with local technical universities, presence at local job fairs, and through local recruiting companies.
