Cyprus joined the EU in 2004, together with 9 other countries, in a massive extension of the EU. Being far in the East and probably more associated with sunny holidays, Cyprus became a major hub for currency-related services in the EU and hosts some larger Multinationals.  Cyprus has a highly educated workforce for technical job descriptions, whether Engineering or Software Development. Despite high demand, a hiring firm will almost certainly find the right candidate for any technical or IT-job role, having a workforce of more than 55,000 highly skilled Cypriot people alone. Furthermore, Cyprus is the gate to the Middle East, creating a wealth of opportunities. From Cyprus, we support our Customers with Greek ambitions.
