Accenture

The

hiring spree was phenomenal. Accenture's competencies across its top verticals

sharpened considerably, coupled with the ability to scale up its operations.

Finance and accounting outsourcing solutions, insurance services and HR services

have become mainstays of the business and about 65% of new recruitments into the

BPO operations focused on these areas.

Outsourcing and BPO operations accounted for most of the hirings this year.

By November 2004, Accenture had over 11,000 employees in India, bettering its FY

2003-04.
