With what seems to be a “come back” for the IT outsourcers, most of the biggies are hiring staff, and how! The leading IT companies in India, like Infosys, Wipro, Mahindra Sathyam, TCS and Cognisant are opening their gates to welcome new talents, especially in their middle and senior level. According to an ET report, the headhunters estimate about 3000 senior professionals have been hired by the Indian IT sector in the last quarter of 2009.

The companies are irrefutably looking at seasoned talent in order to bid for the upcoming IT deals, predicted to be huge. Even a high talent acquisition cost (average CTC of approx $32000 pa), is not dampening the spirits – the way to go is, indeed, forward. Here’s wishing both the companies and the headhunters, a happy new year all the way!
