Recruitment 2018: Apple set to hire employees for this facility

Recruitment 2018: Apple has hired 3,500 people for their development centre here and is expected to take the number to 5,000 eventually, said a senior Telangana Government official today.

"Apple has taken 3,500 people so far for their development centre in Hyderabad. They will totally hire 5000 people eventually. There is no time frame for that (to achieve 5000 headcount)," Jayesh Ranjan principal Secretary IT and Industries told PTI.
