SlashSupport to hire over 500 through job fair

SlashSupport, a Chennai-based tech support firm, is planning to hire over 500 professionals at a two-day job fair, which will be held on March 18-19, at the Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai.

The job fair is being organised by SlashSupport. The fair will be open between 10 am and 4 pm and over 3000 candidates are expected to participate, a company release said.

"In this job fair, our specific focus is on 2004 & 2005 graduates, who are readily employable. Those who will graduate this year will be put through an exclusive recruitment process in June 2006, when they are through with their academics," said Rohini Jagan, divisional manager-HR, SlashSupport.

"We are looking for graduates with good communication skill and a computer science background. We would hire over 500. The unique feature of the fair is that the entire process of selection will be over in 3-4 hours and the selected candidates can walk away with the appointment orders at the end of the day," she said.

She said that the selected candidates would undergo a training programme for 4-6 weeks covering technology and communication aspects.

SlashSupport, part of the US-headquartered Cybernet Software Systems (CSS) Group, has six global delivery centres, four centres in Chennai and one each in Singapore and San Jose. The company employs over 2500 professionals at these facilities.

Its core focus is on supporting technology companies and its service offerings include technology support services for advanced technology, consumer technology and remote infrastructure management.
