KPMG to hire 75,000 campus graduates globally
04 Aug 2011
KPMG's member firms will hire approximately 75,000 campus graduates worldwide over the next three years, representing a 25 percent increase in the firm's historical on-campus resourcing target.
A global network of professional firms providing audit, tax and advisory services, KPMG operates in 150 countries and has 138,000 people working in member firms around the world. The independent member firms of the KPMG network are affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative, a Swiss entity. Each KPMG firm is a legally distinct and separate entity.
The global member firm network has identified a need to hire approximately 250,000 new hires over the next five years. Graduate recruitment therefore plays an essential role in meeting the firm's long term global growth strategy.
The new hires will be integrated into all of KPMG's functional areas - audit, tax, advisory, and internal firm services.
"While KPMG's firms plan to hire a large number of new graduate employees, it's important to note that our focus is about more than simply high volumes - it's about recruiting top talent to drive our growth now and into the future," says Alim Dhanji, KPMG's global head of resourcing, KPMG International.
Dhanji explains, "To attract the best, we offer new graduates the opportunity to work alongside talented professionals in 150 countries, solving complex client issues and making a difference to some of the world's most prestigious organizations."
