Barclays plans to employ approximately two hundred people, particularly specialists in the areas of software development, project management and risk and business analysis.
Barclays had 550 employees in the Czech Republic at the beginning of 2020.
The initial staff increase occurred this year following the expiration of the company’s contract with the service provider EPAM, whose 250 employees transferred directly to Barclays upon mutual agreement.
Barclays operations in Czechia include a major technology centre, which currently employs more than eight hundred developers in the centre of Prague.
