Microsoft recently opened its ‘Search Technology Centre’ in London to design and develop search products for the internet. The Centre specialises in the user experience, such as working out improvements to layout and displaying results.
The London centre is Microsoft’s largest European search centre and Jordi Ribas, General Manager at the Centre pointed to London’s wealth of skilled graduates as a key reason for locating in the city.
“A key factor was the availability of top talent” Jordi said. “It’s critical for an organisation like ours to be able to tap into the best talent and some of Europe’s leading universities are here in London. We focus on people that have masters or PhD degrees in machine learning or similar technologies and there are excellent colleges in London.”
Jordi also sees significant growth in their operations in the coming years, in both internet businesses in general and in particular with search. With thousands of IT graduates to choose from, Microsoft has made the right choice.
