FPT Software crossed the milestone of employing 10,000 people globally, the company announced at a meeting in Ha Noi on Tuesday.

With this milestone, FPT Software edges closer to the list of top companies that have a large number of employees in the Asian region.

By 2020, the company’s target is 30,000 staffers and US$1 billion in revenue, FPT chairman Hoang Nam Tien said.

“With 17 years of experience working with large corporations across the world, I know that to have their attention, a company has to be big enough and must show them the difference in project implementation. With 10,000 personnel, FPT Software has an easier opportunity to reach customers that are large corporations, especially those on the Forbes 500 list,” said Tien.

To meet the growing demand, in the 2017-20 period, FPT Software will recruit 20,000 personnel for testing, programming, bridge engineering and project management.

Last month, the firm opened an office in South Korea, so it now has a total of 23 offices in 14 countries. Talking to VietnamPlus, Tien said the office has around 260 employees. Previously, he had said that the company has earned US$200 million in turnover and expects it to touch $230 million by the end of this year. — VNS
