HCL to hire 12,000 freshers this fiscal

HCL Technologies will hire 12,000 fresh graduates from campuses during the current fiscal. The company said it would hire (net) another 20,000 people in the 2-10 years’ experience category during this year.

HCL chief human resources officer Apparao V. V. told The Hindu, “We are very bullish on campus hiring this year. In fact, we are doubling it. We will hire 10,000 freshers from Indian campuses and another 2,000 from U.S. universities. Our lateral hiring will be in tune with our revenue guidance.”

The company said it has increased its focus on hiring women. Last year, it had only eight women in the vice-president (VP) category and in the last fiscal, it hired eight more women in senior positions taking the number of women VPs at HCL to 16. “We have been focussing on gender diversity across the board.”
