Recruitment sources of TCS

Like every organisation TCS also has the option of choosing the candidates for its recruitment
processes from two kinds of sources: internal and external sources. The sources within the
organisation itself (like transfer of employees from one department to other, promotions) to fill a
position are known as the internal sources of recruitment. Recruitment candidates from all the other
sources (like outsourcing agencies etc.) are known as the external sources of recruitment.
Below are the sources from which TCS recruit its employees:

Internal Promotions & Transfers: Like in every company, some portion of the top positions
is filled by promotions and transfers done internally. Similar approach is followed in TCS as
well where after certain period of time and experience an employee is eligible for promotion.

University appointments: Every year TCS recruit majority of the employees at workforce
level from the various engineering and management institutes. In year 2013-2014 only TCS
hired around 25000 from the campus recruitment process.

Advertising on print or online media: Often positions of senior management and middle
management are advertised on print media or online media and invitations are invited through
advertisements. This practice is quite common by other industry players as well as it reaches
the masses and chances of getting a better applicant are higher.

Referral from the Employees: Often TCS conducts referral drives across the country where
the current employees of the company refer their friends for the posts open for recruitment.
This is one of the major way of recruitment as it increases the work place satisfaction by
having a friend working along side the employee.

Job Search portals: Job portals like Naukari.com, Shine, Glassdoor.com etc are now a days a
main source of lateral recruitment where based on the CV the applicants are called for further
processes. These job portals not only provide a pool of skilled resources but also provide the
ease of recruitment for the employers.

Off campus mass recruitment drives: TCS is also known to conduct mass recruitment
drives in major cities to hire in good number where anyone eligible can apply directly. The
purpose of these drives is to find skilled resources at one place rather going colleges in search
of it and it also reduces the cost of hiring as well
