The additional recruitment will represent an increase of 20.55 per cent over the 24,855 employees it has hired for 2009-10. The company will maintain its freshers to lateral ratio at 70:30 respectively.
"These are our global numbers. We have already made 14,000 offers to students across campuses. They will join the company from the second quarter of 2010-11," Vice-President and Head (Global HR) Ajoy Mukherjee said.
Meanwhile, the company's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, N Chandrasekaran said: "We see large deals coming back to the table. The situation has improved over the last two-three quarters. While it may still be too early for an economic recovery, we do see a business recovery underway."
On the regulatory climate in the domestic market, Chandrasekaran said: "Extension of STPI (Software Technology Parks of India) will be good, otherwise the government may as well extend the same treatment to STPIs that are given to SEZs."
