Infosys BPO starts hiring again

BANGALORE: It seems light is round the corner at the end of the tunnel. According to a report, Infosys BPO has opened the gates for hiring again. The company signals business needs and new projects as reasons why it has started rehiring.

The report says the company has about 200 vacancies coming up on a month on month basis. The report quotes BPO vice-president and HR head K Raghavendra saying that the openings are at the entry level and the company plans to recruit for various processes across all service offerings.

He added that the company is recruiting for both voice and non-voice offerings. Raghavendra also said that a few new positions are also being created and in certain other cases back fills are happening on account of attrition.

Infosys BPO had earlier been in news for laying off more that 600 contract workers. The BPO facility currently has about 17,238 employees. After Infosys concluded its annual performance appraisal exercise in mid-March, the company had shown door to 2,100 people across the country.

Earlier last week, Infosys Technologies said that it expects outsourcing demand to pick up in early 2010. Company`s chief financial officer V Balakrishnan said, "At the macro level, there is some confidence back, people are slightly more comfortable, but on the ground things are still the same," referring to the global economic downturn that has battered information technology spending.

India`s second-largest software services exporter is looking to spend between $200 million to $300 million to acquire firms in the technology infrastructure management, consulting and backoffice outsourcing to boost growth, he said.

Last month, Infosys forecast its first decline in annual revenue as global demand for outsourcing slowed down in a harsh economic climate, halting growth for India`s once burgeoning technology services sector.
