Wipro to hire 8,500 workers this fiscal year


WIPRO Technologies will hire around 8,500 employees this fiscal. The company also plans to go ahead with the campus recruitment early next year to meet the requirement of next fiscal, said Girish Paranjape, joint CEO, IT business, Wipro. "Wipro will honour the offers it had made last year. We will be hiring 5,000 people in a space of two months and by June next year, we should have brought on board all those who were offered," he said. The new recruitments will have a mix of 60% fresh graduates and 40% experienced people. 

   The company will firm up its hiring strategy after knowing its client's budgets better. "Many of our clients are in budget-making stage and with evident signs of revival in the industry, further cuts in IT budgets of companies is not expected. We hope to know their budgets by January-February next year. Once we get an idea about their budgets and spend levels, we will get a good sense of what to hire," he said. According to him, unlike IT companies, Wipro has been hiring not just from engineering graduates but also has hired from other streams and trained them over a period of time to be industry ready.
