Even though the number of people working in business and shared service centres in Slovakia declined slightly last year, the centres keep looking for talent to dig even deeper roots even in Slovakia and win new competences within their groups. They are looking mainly for new employees with specialisations in IT, accounting and finance, and even with a focus on artificial intelligence. These positions may be interesting for Slovaks currently working abroad, but pondering a return home.
The Slovak Spectator asked the biggest centres in Slovakia which specialists they are currently seeking. AT&T’s Global Network Services Slovakia is searching for a ServiceNow Developer; the IBM International Services Centre is eager to employ a GEN AI Lead Developer involving the development and implementation of Generative AI; and Swiss Re wants to hire a senior auditor. DXC Technology Slovakia is looking for a range of experts, including SAP consultant, enterprise architect and global programme leaders.
“An important factor in the decision to return to Slovakia from abroad is the possibility of employment without having to make professional compromises,” said Zuzana Guller, HR Associate Director at Accenture Central Europe and Greece. “Our ambition is to demonstrate that career development at an international level is also possible in a domestic environment, and the job opportunities we offer meet high professional standards.”
Here is a selection of positions for which business and shared service centres in Slovakia are seeking experts.
