Romania is one of the choice locations for outsourcing. Why? Multiple reasons, the main ones being:     large, well educated labor force that is still relatively untapped Romania is only number thirteen globally in terms of IT graduates, with eight thousand per year. But, on a per capita basis, it has more IT graduates than the United States, 2 times more than Russia, 7 times more than India and 12 times more than China. HR professionals in both multinationals and domestic companies in Romania comment that the labor market still “feels relatively untapped” as opposed to leading offshore markets in Europe and Asia where good talent has already become hard to find and attrition is becoming an increasing problem. In addition, there are five cities with top-flight technical universities, and ten more in the second tier, which will help smooth demand as the market grows.   Competitive Costs Labor Costs are comparable and even lower than the ones in India.
