“A 70-30 ratio (fresher to laterals) is the industry norm. We want to balance our head to tail ratio over the next one to two years for reducing the personnel expenses,” said MV Sridhar, vice-president, recruitment and operations (HR).
Currently, entry-level associates account for 60 per cent of the workforce and remaining are laterals.
“Last year, we had hired almost 5,000 people from the campuses. We will add almost the similar number this year,” he said.
On being asked whether the company with a broader entry level talent base going for a volume game instead of high-end jobs, Sridhar denied that the company is playing the volume game.
“We have our vertical heads and subject matter experts looking at niche businesses. A broader entry-level associate base is a cost cutting tool. Also, the fresh graduates are the foot soldiers who have a lot of ideas.”
The staggered induction of associates who have already been given offer letters of late has been a cause of anxiety among the new recruits. However, Sridhar attributes the staggered induction to limited training facilities.

My Sincere advice to Major
My Sincere advice to Major IT Cos in AP, Please start Skill Development Centers in Tier II Centers there people get trained, first educate parents not to lose their money in so called hi-fi training centers to get their children recruited. I have seen even Satyam encouraging T@L@NT $PRnt an institute which is operating by big heads, they are collecting around 50 to 60K from each student and through bank loan. The same even with less money these major IT Cos can do.
and Students can have versatile skill sets to suit industry needs and also the faculty can get a chance to improve their skills to suit industry.
