OREANDA-NEWS VK offers jobs to artificial intelligence specialists dismissed from the international IT company ABBYY, which develops solutions in the field of document processing and text recognition; the Russian holding company plans to strengthen its expertise in machine learning (ML) technologies in this way, the company's press service said.
Earlier, ABBYY employees told about the mass dismissal of Russian developers in early October. This affected specialists working in offices in Hungary, Serbia and Cyprus. A representative of the company later explained that the mass layoffs were related to the transformation and modernization of the business, in which it "reorganized key operational functions, many of which were located in certain regions, including finance, accounting, market entry strategies, as well as research and development," RBC wrote earlier this week.
"VK is ready to offer a job in the holding to employees dismissed from ABBYY. We are talking about both individual employees and formed teams. The Russian holding is confident that this will strengthen VK's expertise in ML developments, which in turn will contribute to improving the user experience in products and services," VK said.
According to the company, dozens of vacancies related to machine learning have been opened in the holding. Such specialists are needed in different business units - VK Video, VK Music and VKontakte. "VK is ready to offer a combined mode of operation, when employees spend part of their time in the office, and some of them work remotely," the press service added.
ABBYY is an international company that develops solutions in the field of document processing and text recognition, business process automation and data extraction. It was founded by MIPT student David Yan in 1989. In 2022, the company withdrew from the Russian market and stopped selling products and services in Russia and Belarus. Most of the employees who worked in Russia moved to Cyprus, Serbia and Hungary.
