Why Wipro Prefers To Hire To Hire Fresh Graduates In The US?

Wipro said that the cost of recruiting fresh graduates in the US is somewhat equal to the cost of hiring IT professionals from India with work visas.

According to software services exportation major, these American fresh graduates also require less time to deploy and training than Indian tech workers. IT services company - Wipro is hiring local employees in Europe and the US. Those are its major global markets; this recruitment strategy also enables it to deploy its projects faster.

The company has recruited over 6 thousand fresh graduates all over the world in the Q2 of this year. The localization in the US has reached 65.4 percent.

Saurabh Govil (Head of Wipro HR) said that there are not much different in term of cost between hiring the fresher and moving someone in from India. However, he hasn't yet disclosed the number of their employees in the States.

He also added that the quality of these new recruits in term of communication, coding, and programming are more application-oriented. Plus their ability to deploy is faster too. Enterprises like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro have been dependent for a long time in sending IT professionals to the States on H1B visa.

However, over the past couple of years, increasing protectionism in Europe and the US has pushed these businesses to recruit more locally. They have been recruited a lot of freshers of local universities, then the company then subsequently trained these freshers.

Wipro stated that it has an excellent training program to train their employees in technology areas; however, fasten the deployment time has always been a challenge. And with more and more clients shifting to new techs like AI and Cloud computing, the IT businesses are racing to cover the gap in skills.
