WFH benefits job-hopping techies, recruiters
The Hindu
With location of company out of the picture, more IT employees are looking for better opportunities; companies too are fishing for better talent through simpler online interviews
The disruption caused by the pandemic seems to have opened up a plethora of opportunities both to the IT companies and employees. With work from home (WFH) likely to be in vogue at least for the foreseeable future, techies who previously let go otherwise attractive offers, bogged down by proximity factor, now have an opportunity to tap into a wider set of offers. For tech companies, recruitment drive through online platforms has become far more simpler, facilitating them to explore a bigger talent pool beyond geographic limitations. “A lot of hopping around has been happening in the IT industry in the last one year with WFH leaving location immaterial. Job applications that previously attracted responses from south India alone are now drawing responses from across the country. The only dampening factor is the three-month notice period applicable in this part of the world,” said Aneesh Panthalani, State president of Progressive Techies, a combine of IT employees.More Related News
