Hyderabad: Considering a fresh recruitment strategy of taking in graduates from non-engineering institutes, Wipro plans to hire around 5,000 people in the next couple of months.
"Our strategy is to recruit non-engineering graduates, in addition to engineering and make them fit into the slot. We are still working out the details," said Wipro Technologies Joint CEO Girish Paranjpe. Refusing to divulge more details for next year's recruitments and outlook, Paranjpe said that it would be a mix of 60 percent freshers and 40 percent experienced.
Last year the company made offers to as many as 8,500 persons through recruitment drives in colleges and institutions. "We expect clients to make no further cuts in their budgets. We expect 2010 to be a better year than 2009," Paranjpe said on the sidelines of dedicating renovated Manikonda Lake at Hyderabad facility to the community.
He said that the new hiring strategies will be worked out in a month or two. Attrition rate in the company currently stands at ten percent. On becoming energy efficient, he said that the company is determined to reduce the carbon emission per employee by 45 percent from the present 3.96 tonnes to 2.5 tonnes in the next five years. "Our power consumption went down by 12 percent last year and we are planning to set up a micro windmill at our Hyderabad facility soon," said Paranjpe.

1: Wipro wants to recruit freshers from liberal
arts because they will work for one pack of
beedis instead of two. Also they will not
mind wearing the telephone headset in the
bed, so they can handle a longer shift of
servicing stupid American customers who want
to quit their Internet provider.

2: Narayan Narayan! First tell us how may were
fired last year and how many will be fired
this year as per (Fire n Hire) policy
prevalent in IT industry? (Please compare
worldwide figures of firing and frauds too)
Even the experience of these companies is of
no use. Advice: - Go and work as manual
Labourers atleast you can survive and build
and live in a your home. (Roti, Kapda aur
Makaan can be earned by all)

35: are you kidding? for non-engineering
students, any company (even if is hell) is
good enough because they are going to get
training in the IT field. Don\'t show your
frustration in advising people not to join
