Virtusa increases hiring in Sri Lanka

IT: Riding on robust business growth, and celebrating its tenth year of operations, Virtusa continues its recruitment drive to boost headcount for the upcoming fiscal year.

The company plans to recruit for project management, business analysis, software engineering and software quality assurance roles this year with a 50% growth over last year's hiring levels, which ended with an addition of 200 new Virtusans.

The headcount increase is subsequent to the alignment of the company's business units last year to own all aspects of sales, solutions development and client services under one focused business structure. Post re-alignment Virtusa has also seen a significant growth in existing accounts and new client wins in the US and the UK.

The two business units, Global Enterprise Business Unit and the High Tech Business Unit each focuses on several industry verticals to capture and preserve domain competency, accelerate client acquisitions and build long-term trusted advisor relationships.

The Global Enterprise Business Unit provides services in Banking, Financial Services, Insurance, Telecommunications, Healthcare and Retail sectors, while the High Tech Business Unit focuses on Independent Software Vendors who are product companies.
