The company now expects to hire 10,000 to 12,000 more freshers in FY23, but will decide on its new targets for fresher hiring post the third quarter, reported India.com. For the September quarter, as many as 9,840 employees were hired by TCS, taking its headcount to 6,16,171. In the previous quarter, the net addition of employees by the company was 14,136. Prior to that, 19,690 employees were recruited.
TCS chief HR Officer Milind Lakkad said in a statement that the company has honoured all job offers the company had made. “Reflecting our culture of being committed to our employees, we have honored all the job offers we had made. Our investments in capacity building and organic talent development have allowed us to substantially grow our business ahead of headcount addition this quarter. We believe our quarterly annualized attrition has peaked in Q2 and should see it taper down from this point, while compensation expectations of experienced professionals moderate,” said Lakkad.
