An Indian multinational information technology services and consulting company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has delayed the onboarding of over 200 lateral hires for at least three to four months.
Additionally, the delay in onboarding included cities like Bangalore, Pune, Kochi, Bhubaneswar, Delhi NCR, and Indore. The hiring was conducted in January and April.
According to Money Control, the company is delaying the joining of employees who have experience of 1.8 to 15 years. Now, the hired employees received emails that joining has further been delayed to October.
An impacted new hire with 10 years of experience said, “It’s when I started following up with them that I got to know that my onboarding date has been deferred.”
“When I asked them what the reason was, they said they were informed by the management last week that onboarding will be done in phases. But they aren’t confirming any date,” the impacted employee added.
TCS on its LinkedIn pages has been open for recruitment and walk-in interviews. The company is showing a significant number of vacancies, with around 5,296 jobs available across various departments.
Recently, TCS also fired 6 employees due to job scams and also banned many staffing firms. Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said on June 29 that the IT and consulting company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has sacked six employees after finding them guilty of accepting favours from certain staffing firms in the appointment of contractual workers.
“We have sacked six employees and also banned six staffing companies,” he said in response to questions from shareholders.
He said, “The company received two separate whistleblower complaints — one pertaining to the appointment of business associates or contractual workers in the US, and one in India, in late February and March, after which it investigated the allegations.”
