DALLAS – The growing number of job vacancies in the computer industry has spurred a review for the consolidated recruitment ad account of Compaq Computer Corp., Digital Equipment Corp. and Tandem, sources said.
The consolidation also raises the possibility of further account consolidations at some point down the line. Compaq’s acquisition of Digital would create a computer firm second in size only to IBM. (Compaq acquired Tandem last year.)
The consolidation is intended to cut costs and increase the reach of each brand’s human resources department, sources said.
