&lt;p&gt;Last week, Big Four mainstay KPMG announced its bold vision to recruit roughly 250,000 new employees over the next five years.  While not particularly original&amp;mdash;rival Deloitte unveiled a nearly identical plan earlier this year&amp;mdash;any hiring of this breadth and magnitude promises a welcome boost to skilled jobseekers across the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The announcement follows a highly successful year in which the firm brought in $20.6 billion in revenue.  With a 2010 contribution of $6.57 billion, KPMG&#39;s advisory division is growing heartily on the back of strong demand worldwide.  &quot;There has been unprecedented change in the economic, regulatory, political, and social environments,&quot; said Chairman Timothy Flynn of the healthy demand, &quot;and these changes are likely to accelerate.&quot;  &quot;As a result,&quot; he continues, &quot;they are turning to advisers for traditional consulting skills &amp;ndash; coupled with deep know-how in risk, regulatory and tax matters that is independent from any particular technology or outsourcing solution.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering the advisory unit&#39;s recent successes and ever-increasing demand for its services, jobseekers with consulting and advisory experience should see the firm&#39;s imminent recruiting campaign as a major opportunity.  KPMG will continue hire to 16,000 recent graduates each year, says Rachel Campbell, the company&#39;s global head of recruiting, and high-level talent (think &quot;several thousand partner hires&quot; and thousands of &quot;manager-level grade&quot; hires) will also receive considerable attention as hiring ramps up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All major geographic markets will see attention from recruiters, she asserts, with particularly robust activity in the U.S., Europe, India, and China.  Across the world, Campbell says, &quot;Clients are experiencing a very complex environment with globalization, regulation, offshoring, etc. That&#39;s the context. In terms of sector, we&#39;ve got a career focus on the financial sector, on healthcare and on government.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There you have it&amp;mdash;KPMG is on the hunt for consultants with expertise in finance, healthcare, and government, and particularly those with international experience or flair.  250,000 is quite the figure&amp;mdash;if advisory sees its just allotment of recruitment attention, there could be around 75,000 consulting jobs available over the next five years.  Quite the figure indeed!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For more information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;FINS:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;- Sam Reynolds&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;_mcePaste&quot; class=&quot;mcePaste&quot; style=&quot;position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 210px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow: hidden;&quot;&gt;&lt;h1 class=&quot;articletitle&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;ctl00_DefaultContent_ucArticleContent1_lblArticleHeadLine&quot;&gt;Globalization,  Regulation and Offshoring Push KPMG to Hire 250,000 over Five Years&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
