Highlighted: the sentence this signal was extracted from

Deloitte has cut about 170 jobs in Australia as it shifts roles to its outsourcing division, where it is hiring more than 500 people – targeting stable, recurring revenues, alongside its big four rivals. The firm told staff this week of the redundancies, which represent about 2 per cent of its roughly 11,000 non-partner workforce. A spokeswoman for the firm said that the move was due to changes in client demand.
