Software major Infosys is looking for technology workers across 40 plus skill sets as it looks to fill up multiple vacant positions with experienced hands through a lateral hiring process.
The company is looking for professionals with skills in diverse areas including cloud computing, cyber security, Java Python, dotnet, Android/IoS development, and automation testing. The company is looking for people with a minimum of two years of experience.
The company had done a similar exercise in February and March last year, but those were walk-in recruitments at the development centres in Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. The candidates, however, should not have appeared in the Infosys selection process in the past nine months.
The company has sent an internal communication about the proposed hiring, allowing the candidates to indicate the choice of their interview location, and the city where they would want to work if selected. Less than three years ago, the software giant had conducted such a recruitment drive virtually in Bengaluru as the city was coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Infosys did not respond to an email seeking its comment on how many people it planned to hire.
Sources, however, said the upcoming recruitment was part of the company’s lateral hiring programme it conducts annually. Infosys had said earlier that it planned to hire 20,000 freshers next fiscal year, without disclosing a break-up between freshers and lateral hires. The Bengaluru-headquartered software giant has about 323,000 employees on its roster.
The hiring drive would help the company fill up positions caused by attritions as well as the new ones that may have come along to support the ongoing and new projects. There are also small projects the company is handling for which it needs manpower, the sources added.
The special hiring exercise for its development centers comes close on the heels of the company issuing about 600 placement offer letters to students at engineering colleges located in and around Dharwad district, last month. This is part of its plans to quickly ramp up operations at its Hubballi development centre.
There are over 900 employees and 100 support staff now. Hiring talented youth from the local colleges is one of the strategies the company has adopted to scale up the staff strength.
The local hiring move comes on top of a transfer policy the company put out in June year, offering an incentive package to employees working in other centres but are open to move to Hubballi.
