Description
In the framework of a European recruitment campaign to hire 5,000 employees, Amazon will recruit 474 people in Luxembourg. The on-line retailer has already 1,500 employees in Luxembourg, up from around a 1,000 in early 2016. The Grand-Duchy hosts the American online retailer's European headquarters. The posts on offer include a mix of high-skilled - for engineers and business graduates - and less qualified jobs.
