IT bellwether Infosys Ltd. has planned a walk-in recruitment event at its Electronic City development centre in Bengaluru on March 9, aiming to recruit the 'next great talents'. This is Infosys’ third recruitment drive after the one conducted in Chennai on February 3 and the one conducted in Hyderabad on January 6.
These hiring drives come in the wake of the renewal of four major contracts at Infosys and the need for more professionals for other smaller projects. The recruitment drive is being carried out to fill vacancies caused by attrition, The Economic Times reported quoting a person aware of the matter.
The company has sent an email to employees, asking them to refer potential candidates, signalling a revival in business sentiment and easing hiring curbs. However, no referral bonus will be provided for recommendations.
Candidates are required to bring their latest resume, two recent passport size photographs, and a government ID proof.
“We are looking for individuals who are passionate, skilled and ready to contribute to our ongoing projects and company culture. This is an excellent chance for candidates within your professional and personal network who meet the criteria and are seeking new opportunities. They can just walk in during the event with their latest resume, 2 recent passport size photographs and a government ID proof,” the company's email to employees accessed by ET read.
