India’s largest information technology (IT) services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), may hire close to 11,000 employees in the January-March 2010 quarter. Close to 8,300 staffers are expected to be recruited from campuses, while 3,000 would be laterals or experienced hands.
For the financial year 2010-11, the company has already made 5,625 offers and visited 77 institutes. These students will join the company in the second quarter (July-September) of the financial year.
Meanwhile, Infosys Technologies has revised its hiring targets for 2009-10. It will increase its intake to 24,000 from the earlier projection of 20,000. The Bangalore-based IT company has plans to make 15,000 campus offers, of which 9,000 have already been made.
TCS will also announce a wage hike in the first quarter of the financial year 2010-11, but the management did not disclose the amount.
“We are still working on our internal budgets for the year. Once that is finalised, we will announce the wage hikes and also the total number of hiring. This should happen in the next two to three weeks,” Ajoy Mukherjee, vice-president and head (global human resources), TCS, told mediapersons here.
With its international workforce component close to 7.4 per cent, TCS will also hire in some of its other locations. “Wherever we have a delivery centre, we would be hiring and a majority of this would be from local regions,” he said.
