Kozhikode: Wipro BPO has announced that it will hire 15,000 employees this year, for its operations at different centers in India. The company, which is part of the IT bellwether Wipro has already recruited around 8,000 employees and is in the process of selecting another 7,000 over the next six months, for which it has been holding job fairs in association with various universities, reports The Hindu Business Line.

Out of the total recruitments, 1,200 - 1,500 people will be hired from the southern region. Praveen Kamath, Associate Vice President of Wipro-BPO, said that the company now had over 24,000 employees on its roll at 15 locations spread across Eastern Europe, China and the Philippines, apart from India. "The BPO division was one of the fastest growing businesses of Wipro and it would require about 15,000 new recruits annually," he added.
According to Kamath, the company is focusing on undergraduates for 40 percent of the requirement and graduates and post-graduates for the remaining 60 percent. Besides, the company will also provide opportunity for the further education of the selected candidates while being on the job.

2: Wipro is famous for its Hire and Fire
strategies..... My Only advice to them is
"Apply some thoughts" before you go for any
such big recruitment.

3: It seems good time is going to start for the
IT industry, now the companies getting
contracts from the overseas, so the companies
started hiring people, final conclusion is
that now the should not worry about recession
but the should worry how to do good
preparation for the interviews.
Best of luck.

6:Hey Kartik ,
M sure you are under some missconception. Wipro BPO never fired anybody, infact when others were firing Wipro BPO were hiring. I think you are mistaking it as Wipro Technology.

16: I have been working in a BPO industry (HSBC)
since 2 1/2 yrs. I have recently attended the
wipro drive in my city for DELL operations
and believe me they started offering me
peanuts for the post. They are so cheap they
negotiate even after knowing that my current
CTC is way beyond the CTC which they wanted
to offer..And do you know they want to hiring
graduates and engineers for 8000 and 10,000
incl. INCENTIVES for sales....
SO I CALL IT CHEAP WIPRO

28:its 100% percent true,Managers are horrible
and supervisors are stupids, no common sense
applies while Appraisals though the logo for
wipro is applying thoughts , They donot apply
. Guys who Bucketing Managers and superviours
can only get good salary hikes and
opportunities for aboard at wipro.
Before joing wipro learn art of Bucketing then join wipro. its right place for people Bucketing.
HR's trusts mangagers and their stupid advises on the engineeers.
No respects for employees at wipro.

44: There will be security guards on the front
gate. Sign their visitor book and go inside
the gate. That means you can say you are in
wipro. But to apply for job and all find the
process. They will call you for interview if
you are suitable one. If selected you will be
given appointment letter. That means you are
in wipro. But if you are good educated then I
suggest you, you try else where, there are
also other companies which offer good jobs to
good educated ones. That means if you are
selected there you are somewhere else. And if
are else where there do not ask 'how can i
get into wipro bpo'.

47: i worked @ wipro for 6 months & i
realised wipro is a good place to work if
business is good but it's the worst company
if business is bad, i was in a group of 45
& we all were told to resign or get
terminated. they don't have infy like
culture, where a common person can grow &
become a CEO.
Mr. Premji prefers his family members to lead the organisation than the one's who work @ wipro.
but if u don't get a job elsewhere , do join wipro.

48: What is the security in BPO job. When
recesion apears they cut your salary or
simply kick you off from the company. This is
also somehow we can manage if their may
little bit hope about your future like good
educated jobs. There is no use of your
knwowledge. If you are an educated man this
job will be made your life totally hell and
never go further at all for good opportunity.
Hope you understood. I dont want to make your hope down. But this is the truth.
