Accenture is to employ 1,000 people in a new business process outsourcing (BPO) centre in Romania.

Over the next three months the company is recruiting people with skills in HR, finance and procurement to work in Bucharest, initially engaged on projects for Unilever.

The company already has operations in Bratislava, Prague, Riga and Warsaw.

Earlier this year, Unilever signed a seven-year contract with Accenture for IT application development and support across Europe.

Financial terms of the contracts were not revealed but the contract is part of the consumer goods group's 'One Unilever' programme, which aims to deliver annual savings of €700m by creating a streamlined operating model for the company.
