Tata Consultancy Services, India's top outsourcer, will hire 30,000 staff in 2010/11 on hopes of increase in demand for services from its overseas clients, a senior official said on Wednesday.
"We have made offers for 14,000 new recruits and we expect to make the remaining soon," Vice President and head of Global Human Resources Ajoy Mukherjee said on the sidelines of an industry conference.
The new recruits will join Tata Consultancy from the second quarter of the 2010/11 financial year (April-March). The company, part of the Tata Group that spans commodities autos and services businesses, employs more than 130,000 people.
About 70 per cent of the new additions would be fresh colleges graduates and the rest would be experienced engineers, Mukherjee said.
Indian IT firms such as Tata Consultancy and rivals Infosys Technologies and Wipro mostly hire college graduates, as their wages are lower than experience workers.
India's export-driven software services companies have lifted a freeze on hiring and wage hikes since the past couple of months on a rebound in demand for outsourcing, which had been badly hit by the global recession.
In the current fiscal year, Tata Consultancy has added 24,000 employees.
