IT Giant Accenture Will Onboard 150,000 New Employees Using Metaverse! Is It A Recruitment Revolution In IT?
Shifting towards the new age of technology, IT major Accenture has announced to onboard 150,000 new hires.
Accenture Virtual Campus Metaverse
These new hires will use VR headsets to work from the metaverse on their first day.
Here, the Accenture virtual campus on the metaverse also known as the Nth floor.
With the use of these services, people will meet, collaborate and learn.
The sources said that this immersive experience is said to be 30-40% more productive than traditional ways of learning.
Metaverse and Web3 are transforming the virtual world, according to the company.
Metaverse Skills In Demand
The IT service provider has launched the Accenture Metaverse Continuum business group which is led by Paul Daugherty, group chief executive for technology and chief technology officer.
The metaverse requires a range of digital skills which are in demand including distributed ledger experts and token economists.
Basically, they understand the economics of creating tokenized products.
Apart from this, it also requires skills in XR, blockchain, gaming, security, and AI.
Along with Unity and Unreal developers, and experts in 3D commerce, digital currency, and digital asset markets.
It also plans to hire 3D artists and game designers.
Expanding Metaverse
Accenture also looks to scale up its metaverse for business for which the company plans to onboard Indian talent.
The Ireland-based multinational has also created digital twins of many of its physical offices – Bengaluru, Madrid, and San Francisco.
The move is to provide familiar environments for its people to meet, collaborate, and network.
So far, the company has acquired 600 patents in the metaverse already.
There are two distinct use cases for the metaverse, according to the company.
In India, Accenture has a center that houses a studio to work on client requirements for the metaverse including developing the architecture for non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Here, NFTs are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated.
Recently, Chocolate maker Mars teamed with Accenture and Microsoft to digitize its supply chain.
They are now extending this into the metaverse with digital simulations, factoring in variabilities, such as climate and disruptions, and maintaining greater visibility from the point of origin to the place of consumption.
