Q. What do you look for in a candidate at the time of recruitment?
A. Professional ethics, integrity, attitude one brings to the organisation, besides capabilities, competency and education.
We prefer a strong academic
background. If a candidate has been serious about his career as a student, he will be serious in growing with the organisation too. We hire from the best and focus on attracting talent from the top employers and colleges.
We have a structured way of analysing people that includes personality and technical tests and various rounds of interview. We never go by democratic way of selection i.e., seven saying ‘yes’ and three saying ‘no’, as the latter could have observed something that others failed to notice.
Q. Tell us about the challenges you have experienced in India.
A. On people’s front, it is retention and growing talent. We understand that the best we have is also the best for our competitors. It is about retaining talent by ensuring that employees do not lose faith in the organisation. Re-evaluating practices, for instance, what was done last year might not be the reasons to gain success this year. Growing a business is a challenge in itself, as it is about innovation, reinventing, and how fast one can adapt.
Q. The company was recently recognised as a top employer amongst the top 20 software companies in India (as per a survey conducted by DataQuest). What are the people practices behind this achievement?
A. We have a strong mentorship and coaching programme that is implemented in the best possible manner. We have identified the core talent of the organisation, irrespective of age, experience and the company they had worked with. This is where a young guy can mentor a senior director and a senior director can mentor a middle manager. We believe in practices such as performance management, learning and development, exit interviews, and even reaching out to people who have left the company to welcome them back.
