TCS plans to hire 45,000 in FY 2013
Country's largest software exporter Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) today said it is planning to hire as many as 45,000 freshers next fiscal.
"We do not have a guideline for overall hiring yet for FY 2013. However, we have already given offers to 35,000 freshers in over 200 campuses across the country. We are planning to make another 10,000 offers in the future," TCS Executive Vice-President & Global Head for Human Resources Ajoyendra Mukherjee told reporters here.
During this fiscal, TCS has so far hired 37,000 freshers and trainees, who started joining the company from the beginning of the July-September quarter, he said, adding "the bulk of the freshers usually join during Q2 and Q3."
The salary of campus recruits for fiscal 2013 will be same as this fiscal, he further said. Talking about hiring for this fiscal, he said the company was on course to meet its target of 60,000. The employee strength of the company stood at 2,14,770 at the end of the September quarter.
On the fake job scam, Mukherjee said that TCS was taking steps at all possible levels to create awareness among career aspirants. "We have posted a detailed note on job sites apart from our own website. We also create awareness through announcements in national and regional media and have a toll free service line for assistance," he said.
