Posted by According to a report in the Economic Times, they are working on strengthening their employer brand so that freshers and lateral hires choose them over their larger peers. While many new employees are lateral hires from other similar sized companies, they are also trying to expand the fresher pool.
The financial daily mentioned that L&T Infotech (LTI) intends to hire 5,500 freshers in this financial year. “We are hiring another 1,000 people on a hire-train-deploy basis,” the publication quoted CEO Sanjay Jalona as saying. The company is also putting in place a plan to hire non-technical people and put them through a six-month training programme in order to meet the demand for specific skills.
Similarly, Pune-headquartered Persistent Systems is tapping into engineering talent in traditional industries where people are not well paid. “There are people who are engineers by training who work in other industries. They are seeing their peers in tech getting higher salaries and they are good at what they do… these are the kind of people we are looking at in some percentage to train into the skill sets that we want and deploy,” the ET report quoted Sandeep Kalra, CEO, Persistent Systems as saying.
