Infosys planning campus hiring in Jan

Amidst the slowdown and the freeze on recruitment, there is some good news for students graduating next year: Infosys is planning to begin campus recruitment across the country from January 2010.

Infosys Technologies chief executive officer and managing director S Gopalakrishnan, while speaking to reporters after a CII meeting in Hyderabad, said that the company skipped campus recruiting in view of the global economy slowdown.

However, Infosys is now looking at training about 18,000 of its employees under the extended mode till January 2010 and has also enhanced the present training of freshers from three and a half months to six months, said Gopalakrishnan.

He said earlier freshers were put on training in one technology but now they are training in two technologies, adding that "they are better equipped and are more flexible as they are trained in multiple skills."

He said that recruitment and expansion would begin early next year and that the economy too will start looking up by the second quarter of 2010
