Cap Gemini is set to reduce its UK headcount by around 700 as the tech recession hits demand for its services.
The job cuts represent around 10 per cent of the IT services specialist's UK workforce.
The company said in a statement: "A combination of streamlining our structure to better respond to the current market conditions and a harsher operating environment mean that we need to cut 10 per cent of the UK salary costs.
