Capgemini plans quarterly appraisals for entry-level workforce

Capgemini India is planning to add 25,000 employees and introduce quarterly appraisals to its entry-level workforce.

Talking to BusinessLine on the sidelines of the Nasscom Leadership and Technology Forum here, Pallavi Tyagi, Chief – HR, Capgemini India, said the company is looking to hire 25,000 techies through “a mix of campus and lateral hires.” The company had hired a similar number in 2019.

The French multinational tech major employs one lakh people in India, which is 50 per cent of its global workforce.

Hiring speed bumps

The IT sector, which fuelled the growth of the middle class in India, has seen several speed bumps in terms of hiring in the last six years, said Tyagi. It is estimated that by 2027, India will have the world’s largest workforce in the 15-to-64 age group.
