New Delhi: Good news for freshers seeking jobs opportunities. The top 4 Indian IT companies, namely, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and HCL Tech, are going to double their hiring target in 2021-22 to 1.6 lakh freshers. Significantly, this is happening due to rapid digital transformation, increased supply, and rising attrition rates during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Top 4 IT companies hired 82,000 freshers in the fiscal year 2021 and employed 53,964 employees in the quarter ended September 2021, up from 17,076 recruitments in this period last year.

There are many reasons for recruitments happening on a large scale. The digital transformation around the world has flourished because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Technology is no longer just about driving cost-efficiency, but also about driving business.

For instance, aviation and hospitality are the two sectors that bore the worst brunt of the pandemic. Since restrictions have now been lifted, investments are expected to increase in these sectors as well. Today, enterprises in every sector are focusing on digital means.

Attrition Rate

The attrition rate in TCS has increased from 8.6% to 11.9% in the first quarter. Wipro and Infosys reported over 20% attrition and HCL Tech 15.7%. The attrition rate for these three IT companies stood at 10-15% for the previous quarter.
