Mid-tier IT services company Persistent Systems will be "cautious" on campus hiring in the new fiscal on the back of the ease which it sees in getting the talent when the business requires, a top official has said. The company will prioritise growth over profitability at a time when macroeconomic uncertainties have dented demand for IT services, its chief executive Sandeep Kalra told PTI. On the hiring front, he said the company had made 700 offers to freshers in FY24 and over 500 of them have already joined. Making it clear that it will honour all the hiring commitments made earlier, Kalra said the remaining ones will join in the next three-four months. Kalra said he does not see the need to hire talent ahead of the curve at present because of the easing attrition levels in the IT industry, which help it hire talent as and when required once clarity emerges on the business front.
