IT firms change hiring strategy

With growing automation, companies skip campus recruitment as demands of clients are changing

IT services companies are starting to hire engineers off campus as they see less demand for entry- to mid-level jobs with increasing digitisation of services. Fresh information technology graduates are also being invited for off campus walk-in interviews to fill positions of junior engineers.

At least three IT services firms — IBM, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Mindtree — have officially announced their off campus recruitment drives this month. While IBM and Mindtree have invited applications for roles in India, TCS will hire fresh graduates for Singapore and mid-level engineers for locations across India.
