Global cloud services provider Oracle recently revealed its plans to employ over 5,000 new engineers, consultants, sales professionals and support staff this year to stay apace of its rapid growth by acquiring top industry talent.

Thus far, the firm has taken on over 2,650 cloud sales experts as well as 1,500 cloud developers in the United States during 2017. The company markets The Oracle Cloud, including comprehensive SaaS (software as a service) suites for ERP, HCM and CX; in addition, it offers high-quality PaaS (platform as a service); and IaaS (infrastructure as a service) from its many sites across North America, South America, Europe and Asia.

"Central to Oracle's success is our empowered, inspired and engaged workforce," Joyce Westerdahl, Oracle’s executive vice president for HR, said. "We're hiring experienced sales and engineering professionals eager to contribute to Oracle's cloud growth and champion our products. We are also recruiting high-performing recent college graduates and offering them a world-class training program to prepare them for a career in the technology industry."

In addition to its proprietary software, including trademarked Oracle and Java products, Oracle produces several industry publications and offers ongoing platform services for successful business growth. With a global presence, it is headquartered in Redwood City, California.
