Infosys Inc To Hire 45000 College Graduates
The IT sector alone is offering 31% entry-level jobs now, and the scenario of hiring freshers will only improve from here on.
Infosys Inc is planning to hire 45000 college graduates in the ongoing financial year. The company has recently announced its aggressive hiring plans after posting the financial results for the second quarter of the ongoing financial year that ended September 30, 2021.
The net profit during this period stood at Rs 5,421 crore, a jump from Rs 4,854 crore the previous fiscal year. At the end of the quarter, its workforce is 2.67 lakh strong of which 39.1% are female.
This comes at a time where there is rising demand for its services and also a spike in its attrition. While its revenue growth guidance rose to 16.5-17.5% from 14-16% earlier, its attrition for the quarter grew to 20.1% from 13.9% in the previous quarter.
The spike in attrition can be attributed to the burgeoning demand for digital talent as IT workers seek greener pastures. Infosys and Wipro’s attrition rates were reported to be 15.2% and 12.1% in the fourth quarter of the 2020-21 financial year.
