Description
SoftServe, a Ukrainian technology company specialized in consultancy services and software development, announced plans to create 100 new positions by the end of 2024. The company intends to have more than 300 employees in Romania by the end of 2024. Its local growth strategy also envisions 800 employees in 3-5 years' time. The growth of the client portfolio has led to the need to hire new people.
SoftServe was established in Ukraine as a private company and has had offices all over the world. The company also has offices in Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv and in Crimea until the Russian invasion in 2014. Plans to expand into Romania began in 2021, before the start of the war. However, following the Russian aggression, the company relocated employees who were affected by the war. The war did not change its growth plans - it just accelerated them.
Currently, the company has offices Brasov (Brasov County), Iasi (Iasi County), Timisoara (Timis County), Cluj-Napoca (Cluj County) and Bucharest.
Globally, the company has a workforce of 10,000 employees, in Ukraine, Europe, Latin America and North America

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.
