Most cities in the country have seen a considerable improvement in the hiring outlook, with Pune showing the highest rise for the Job, Delhi has been found to be the most disappointing as the city witnessed the steepest fall in the employment outlook index for the three months ending March, according to the staffing firm TeamLease.

As IT industry is there only in few cities in India and not all across, and this is making many to loose out on opportunity to tap the right talent in the country, as there are very less people who can afford to shift from their current locality to a new one, and even IT industries are also loosing out on good talent that can be easily tapped, but due to many constraints many are not getting that opportunity. So, how IT industry in that regard needs to tap talent across the country? do give your thoughts on this.

They should reach out to all the cities

idea posted by Smita Dalvi Sales/BD Manager, Hewlett-Packard

I think they should reach out to all the cities, as I see many of our colleagues from different parts of the country working in different cities. In this process where a right talent comes from different city in search of job is very less as travel, time and money is a constraint for many, so to tap the right talent why not IT industry reach out to different regions, like marking their presence in different cities to get the right talent, I am not saying that they should be present in every city but in a city which is  having a close proximity to many regions near by this, we will cut down on shifting them from one place to another which is a difficult prospect for them and even attending the interviews will not be a problem, and with this one can get the best possible talent across the country.

Yes, I agree with this suggestion. While reaching out more places for recruitment, IT companies should make sure that candidate with good talent should not be neglected because of lack of exhibition.

Yes.  I fully agree with this.  It is very important that our country should grow seamlessly throughout all the regions to be a IT superpower and development only in certain pockets will be counterproductive.  The proximity or nearby region growth with talent accquired from that area can be a "Hub and Spox" kind of arrangement.  With roads being developed through out the country, even a 100 - 150 Kms per day travel to work would be a very "normal" scenario in 3 - 5 years to come, as in USA or in China. 

All this Infrastructure development are being made only to reach out the growth of the country to all the cities and nearby towns for the "inclusive growth" as termed by our government.  It will also reduce the conjution in metro cities, which cannot take any load beyond the current levels.

From the Industry perspective, it reduces cost in real estate and other associated costs and help them to deliver their services in a cost effective way.  By all counts, the tier II, III and IV cities need to be reached out for the benefits of all.

yes, I agree, IT players shall prefer distributed zonal centers rather than focusing only on IT hubs. Else, they should give show reasons to candidate to migrate (marketting of the place apart from monetary benefits).

2. Meritocratic recruitment

idea posted by RAMESH KANDADAI Principal Consultant, ARM Consultants

Regardless of the industry (it applies all the more to IT industry as it lays claim to fame as the knowledge industry), all employment recruitment in this country should be purely meritocratic. What difference does it make whether the person recruited is man or woman or whatever religion or state or any other denomination he may belong to or be classified by. The only objective that should drive the search and recruitment is that the person recruited must possess adequate competancy to do the job that is required of him.

One of the ways to tap talent across the country is to Schedule for Walkins with enough time and right channel

idea posted by Satya Prakash Choudhary BD & Sales, AlphaBricks Technologies

There are no. of pass-outs from various colleges and they do deserve for the opportunity to be met but because of lack of communication through different channels, They miss the opportunity.

Walkin should be scheduled with the right approach(It should be communicated through print media, electronic media or various sources etc.) in order to reach out to the right talent pool with enough time to meet the opportunity.

Create a Talent Pool like employment exchange

idea posted by Raghu Kastury Principal Consultant & Head of Strategic Business Unit - Retail & Distribution, Sundaram Infotech Solutions Limited

All the organizations, including the givernment, who needs IT talent, should form into a forum or body. This forum, provides a facility to register here either through net or through post or whatever means available.

All the IT talent whether employed or looking for employment or going to complete studies in the next 6 months, should register here and be given a single registration number. Anyone wants to know about the availability of people by category, by skill, by gender, by age group by experience, by interests, by passion, by career goals, etc should be able to search from here and find.

All the record of the employees can be maintained here, and can be used as a back ground check after obtaining permissions from the candidate.

Going forward, this forum can also forecast required talent pool in the next 5 years, next 3 years, next 1 year, 6 months, quarter and month. This helps people to gear up for the demand.

This forum can also provide, expert interviewers so that individual smaller organizations need not worry about intervieweing technical people or subject matter experts

All the agencies and organizations looking for talent can approach this forum or body and draw from here.

Tap Talent

idea posted by Manish Singhal Program Manager, C1 India

I believe, there should be talent centers in every locality / schools / colleges, where students can put their complete details in a predefined manner, these students can then be evaluated by local school / college authorities and given some ranking / graded with speciliazation remarks against each talent. The companies (mostly closeby, some radius can be dfined here) can then be given this database , the companies can then filter further and get the desired candidates for their requirements and groom the talent accordingly. Exceptional students should be kept for some research and may be some new innovative products. Once this kind of loop is formed , it will automatically promote and groom talent, but their is support required from everyone to achieve this.


Local Authorities , High End Schools and Colleges in that locality, Managing data integrity of these candidates and finally promoting / grooming them to their potential.
