Better job prospects in IT again?
From NDTV Profit
It may have been a great run for the Indian IT companies at the markets, thanks to solid earnings.
Will this mean a better job market for all software professionals?
The buzz is back at Chennai’s IT corridor. After strong Q1 results from three of the country’s largest Info Tech companies—TCS, Infosys and Wipro—hopes of an improvement in hiring in IT and ITES, are high.
On ground though the general hiring freeze still holds but the better performing pockets like testing, infrastructure and BPO are opening up to fresh hiring.
Sumitra Gomatam, senior vice-president at Cognizant, said, “Software testing is one field that every large IT company is focussing on now. What they can bank on is their already available large client base. We hire both engineers and science graduates who specialise in a particular field and train them to be testers.”
Well, L&T Infotech is increasing its workforce in the infrastructure, sales and marketing space. HCL Infotech is also strengthening its sales team and other US based IT companies having Indian operations like GE, Capgemini, Logica and many others are on a hiring mode.
