Hyderabad: Even as the Satyam fiasco triggered fears of job and pay cuts among the employees, they are getting a breather in the form of offers pouring in from various firms.
Thanks to the social networking sites, many of the employees, even if they have not applied, are getting interview calls from many Human Resources (HR) personnel in the software sector. The HR personnel are, in fact, on a headhunt in the ‘web-world' not adhering to Nasscom's directive not to poach Satyam employees in the critical time.
“There are around 30,000 employees who registered in networking sites like Orkut, LinkedIn and Facebook. This serves as the perfect database for those who are on headhunting,” said Archana S, a junior HR manager working in a reputed software firm in the city.
Explaining that this was a tried and tested method, she articulated: “This kind of recruitment is being done to employ people for lower and mid-level positions.” They could build a huge database in this manner, which would be of some help in the future too, she added.
“I got six offers from various companies urging me to forward my resume in the past three days. Some are even offering part-time employment and ‘work from home jobs' till the crisis gets over,'' a Satyam employee working in the SDE Prameela Techno Park at HiTec City told Express. Many of her colleagues too got offers in a similar fashion, she added.
