A representative of global consulting firm Accenture told the Washington Business Journal it is hiring as many as 642 employees in the D.C. area as part of a hiring spree set to include 7,000 people nationally.

According to Business Journal, the jobs include systems integration and technology analysts, content management consultants, asset management analysts, business development specialists, commercial and contract management, operations consultants, entry level consulting analysts, consulting interns and junior technical architects, among many others.
