Intel stealth hiring spree outed

The corporation may be shredding 15,000 employees from different departments, but it calls no halt on hiring for the upcoming branch of its portfolio.

Intel claimed some time ago that its main rival is not AMD, but Nvidia. And the boys in blue want to alter its perception as the leading maker of graphics chips that can't run anything more complex than Excel - as one graphics engineer told us several years ago.

There are some flaws in Intel's stealth recruitment drive, however. One of those is called Human Resources Department.

It seems human resourcers at Intel have been sending out e-mails willy-nilly in order to entice folk away from their comfortable posts.

Some graphics specialists have even received missives from more than one Intel recruiter.

One name already, in fact, on Intel's payroll, received two "Uncle Intel wants You!" offers from two different people in a spread of 24 hours.

Things are heating up in the Valley of Silicon. µ
