No One Gets Named and Shamed Like Indian IT Hiring
- An Indian IT hiring and onboarding practice involving delays has come under fire, with developer forums and social media platforms full of complaints.
- Various IT companies have been identified for the practice of offering letters to freshers then delaying onboarding, while some rescind offers citing potential cost-cutting with rising AI adoption being a key factor.
- On IT forum Reddit, a developer complained that no joining letters were being given to freshers in LTIMindtree 2024 batch, with only a handful being accepted as interns and no joining dates given.
- Companies like Cognizant and TCS have also been accused of the practice, with many graduates placed in support roles rather than developer positions.
- According to latest earnings carry out by Indian IT giants such as Infosys, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro, freshers will be onboarded within 15,000 to 20,000 headcount in FY25, promising to reduce their bench size and hire new graduates.
- However, there are still concerns that recruiting efforts will be minimal following the onboarding debacle of 2023, with potential layoffs being a threat.
- Aiming to resolve the consistent hiring issues, developers opine that candidates should apply multiple times to various IT companies while keeping an eye on other job opportunities.
- This problem has existed for years, with applicants waiting for months to receive responses to their applications and interviews.
- The Indian IT industry needs to overhaul its hiring process to prevent the talent exodus.
