IT cos to hire 180,000 techies in 2014-15:
Budding recovery signs in the US and Europe, a stable rupee and expanding budgets of clients have brought cheer to India’s software services sector.The iconic industry, which has fuelled aspirations for millions of middle-class Indians, is back in the job market as a hot recruiter.
Around 170,000 to 180,000 new people are expected to join the Indian IT industry during 2014-15. A significant majority of these are fresh pofessionals, not mid-level lateral recruits. Among those most in demand include techies with expertise in social, mobility, analytics and cloud computing — the new frontiers in the IT industry.
Sample this: TCS, the largest in the club, plans to recruit 55,000 more; new Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka has reached out to former employees in an apparent attempt for them to return to their alma-mater; Cognizant has steadily increased its headcount over the last two quarters.
HCL Tech, Wipro, Tech Mahindra have also announced similar intent. At present, the Indian IT industry employs around 3.1 million people.
There is a word of caution though. The hiring may be higher than last year, yet it remains conservative. So, only people with the desired and relevant skill sets are able to cut ice with IT majors who are now demanding much more from their employees. Such is the demand for additional hands that most companies have deployed their “bench strength”— an IT industry descriptor for underemployment. Analysts said most companies already have an employee utilisation rate of 70-80%.

“Companies have peaked with their bench utilisation so the flexibility to leverage people is already gone. As the demand environment for IT outsourcing continues to grow, companies are hiring more people,” said Sangeeta Gupta, senior vice-president, research, Nasscom, an industry association of IT companies.

How to Organize your first job search:
STRATEGY-1 Set Goals :
Whether you have recently graduated, or working, if you are searching for a job, you’ll enjoy better results by organizing your search. It doesn’t matter so much how you do it, as long as it is organized in some way and works for you.Have a clear idea of the job you want! This may sound simple or obvious, but many students begin looking for a job without first taking the time to be sure they can answer the question “What position are you looking for?”
All of these questions have to be directed before you can begin to work on! Reaching clarity in these issues may be the most important thing you can do in your career planning and goal setting.
STRATEGY-2 Create Structure and Schedules :
Create a weekly schedule to list activities that will be a regular part of your job search and note when you’ll typically do each.
These will be activities such as
• reading job ads online and in print,
• creating and sending customized cover letters and résumés in response to the job postings; Researching companies you want to work for and actively identifying positions that offer a good match for your skills/passions;
• seeking effective ways to approach and connect with someone in these companies;
• attending job fairs and networking opportunities.
