Description
The IT consulting company OCTO Technology has announced the recruitment of 210 employees in 2021 at national level. The COVID-19 health crisis accelerated awareness of the need for digital transformation among many companies. In this context, the demand for certain technological skills has increased tenfold (cloud, data, security, delivery) and OCTO Technology aims to reinforce its team teams with technological and methodological skills. 30% of the new roles are available for recent graduates.
In 2020, OCTO has supported InVivo, Pass Culture, SNCF and Total. Since its acquisition in 2017 by Accenture, OCTO Technology expanded to 600 employees with an annual rate of 1,300 assignments. Four previous recruitment announcements have been recorded in 2020 (200 job creations), in 2019 (200 job creations), in 2018 (140 job creations) and in 2017 (100 job creations).

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
