Business Standard — June 22, 2005

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will recruit an additional 13,500 personnel from across the globe this year, of which 11,500 would be from India. The company is scouting for personnel with software development skills, business analytical capabilities and sales and marketing officials. "We intend to recruit around 5,000 personnel from the market, which will be basically through walk-in interviews and inviting applications," S Padmanabhan, head of global human resource development, said in Mumbai today.

Of the 11,500 to be added for the company's operations in the domestic market, 6,500 would be through campus recruitment that took place last year. TCS had offered jobs to students after a campus recruitment in last academic year and are expected to join the company on completion of their course this year. The remaining 2,000 staff would be recruited from Eastern Europe and Latin America, apart from China, Australia and the mainland of US. This is an increase of 3,500 hands compared with around 10,000 recruited last year.

The company would recruit freshers and experienced personnel with SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Siebel, i2 and web-method skills under the software development category, and people with two-five years experience in business analytics. The recruitment is expected to provide the company's global development centre's with multi-language capabilities.
