Intel Security is hiring!

Do you want to become a part of the world’s largest dedicated security technology company, and take part in interesting and varying client projects? Have you always wanted to use your testing and coding abilities to something significant, such as securing the on-line safety of everyone and everything connected to the internet? Do you wish to work alongside great colleagues with a common goal to make the cyber world a safer place? If so, come and hear about the career possibilities Intel Security is offering.

Together with McAfee/Intel Security (I will explain these brands in the following chapters, so be patient and keep reading J) we are organizing a recruitment tour. We are aiming to attract both future talents and people with a track record of achievements. We’ll visit four schools and after this we’ll organize an event, where we will invite all potential candidates from juniors to gurus. The schedule for the school tour is following:

  

o    7.10.2014 from 10am to 2pm: Laurea University of Applied Sciences, Leppävaara – Network to get work

o    8.10.2014 from 10am to 2pm: Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Bulevardi Campus, uuden kemian aula

o    6.11.2014 TalentIT fairs at Aalto University

In addition to telling you about amazing career opportunities (by the way, thesis workers are also welcome), we will be serving free coffee and tea! Even more reasons to come and have a chat with us. You will recognize us from Studentwork and Intel Security banners and beautiful smiles. Well, at least the former.

Finally - thank you for your patience - more information on our client company and the different brands: Intel Corporation is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Intel is one of the world's largest and highest valued semiconductor chip makers, based on revenue. It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. Furthermore, McAfee, part of Intel Security is the world's largest dedicated security technology company. On February 28, 2011, McAfee became a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel. In early 2014, Intel announced it would rebrand McAfee as Intel Security. However, while Intel Security is (mostly) used in the external communication of the company, the McAfee name still lives on in the product names.  Furthermore, if you are familiar with the field and have heard of a Finnish company called Stonesoft, it was acquired by McAfee in 2013. After this Intel Security has invested heavily in Finland and employed a significant number of new software professionals – the plan for year 2015 is to continue this growth.

To give you an overview of the size of Intel Corporation, here are some figures:

o    107 600 employees (at the end of 2013)
o    2013 net revenue: 52,7 billion US dollars
o    Offices in 70 countries

After the school tour we’ll hold an informal event, where we will outline Intel Security’s plans for the next 12 months and beyond. Thus, even if you are not considering a career move immediately we would love to meet you. The event will be held 5^th of November at 5pm in Kamppi. In order to enroll to the event, read first HERE (Software Developer) and HERE (Quality Assurance Developer) what we are offering and you can also contact recruitment specialist Essi Heino for more information. While the recruitment focus is in these positions, Intel Security is always willing to hear about your experience and achievements related to other roles.

There will be several of the Intel Security team present at the event, so you will have the possibility to ask job related questions. The company is highly committed to finding the best employees and their HR personnel are flying over from England especially for the event. They can also tell you about international opportunities.

I am finishing with Intel Security’s Senior Recruitment Business Partner Paul Helbrough’s, UK office, words: “A few years ago the number of things connected to the Internet surpassed the number of people on Earth and by 2020 this number is expected to reach 50 Billion. Imagine that... for every living person there will be SEVEN devices connected to the internet. How would you like to work for a company committed to ensuring that this connected world is free from threats and is a safe environment for every corporation or individual. Well, that company is Intel Security and you can be a real part of this exciting challenge... are you up for it?”

We hope to see many of you at the events! J
