Another Indian IT giant Tata Consultancy Services has also advertised virtual hiring for enterprise solutions, cybersecurity, AI cloud, IoT & digital engineering, infrastructure services, business process services, TCS interactive IP and wireless networks with 3-15 years of experience. The advertisement said its looking for “for rockstars, not robots”.

The Economic Times quoted business head - IT staffing at Teamlease Digital Krishna Vij and said that the IT firms engaging in focused hiring to maintain project continuity despite the decreasing headcount and slower campus recruitment.

“Despite decreasing headcounts and slower campus recruitments in the IT sector, firms are engaging in focused hiring to maintain project continuity, addressing both generic and emerging skills when internal teams and vendors are unable to meet the TAT/skills requirements necessitating the creation of a bench—whether to secure potential projects or to maintain a bench for capability building to serve potential projects/customers,” said Krishna Vij, business head - IT staffing at Teamlease Digital

These hiring indicates that the demand has not diminished giving a glimmer of hope to the $250 billion Indian IT industry that has been facing a record low headcount amid global economic uncertainties and squeeze in IT spending by several global corporations.

"We also observed that major IT services companies continue to hire generic demand skills, indicating that the demand has not diminished entirely,” Vij told The Economic Times

The report also mentioned that staffing firms believe these hiring drives, lasting weeks to months, depend on the volume and urgency of positions. This could signify targeted growth in specific sectors or with clients amid an overall demand decline.

“While we have not seen any mandates from IT services firms, right now, it is an employers’ market. Desperation to hire immediately is low and so such drives could be used for practical corrections and show expected growth potential in companies,” a senior executive with IT Staffing firm told The Economic Times.

The Economic Times report further mentioned that certain tech firms are also on the verge of futureproofing, proactively acquiring talent in anticipation of an eventual market upswing or in the process of securing new orders.
