GlobalLogic to recruit 400 people in next 7 months
GlobalLogic, a provider of software product development, has said that it would recruit 400 technically skilled workforce in India in the next seven months.
"We have approximately 100 positions open at present. These positions have to be filled in a month's time. In the next seven months we will recruit around 400 technical people for our various divisions in India," GlobalLogic chief people officer Milind M Jadhav told CyberMedia.
GlobalLogic will hire people who understand both technology and domain in which technology can be deployed.
The company is witnessing increase in demand for software product development in telecom, health care and video space. Around 50 per cent of the workforce to be recruited by the company in the coming days would work for telecom related products.
In the process it would expand its collaboration program with institutes to fill the gap in skill of workforce to be selected by the company.
"We already have collaboration with institutes in Nagpur and will be increasing it further. It is our company that selects institutes and establishes contact with them. Through the faculty of institutes we initially train students as per our requirement and also send our people. This saves a lot of our training time to be given to candidates," said Jadhav.
On asked whether GlobalLogic would prefer people on virtual pool of some IT companies in India, Jadhav said, "This will be an open system. Those who clear our selection process will be only selected. Typically we will prefer people with minimum 2-3 years of work experience in product development and understanding of that domain."
