Coupled with the tremendous benefits & value-add that TimesJobs.com’s New Empower Innovation provides- companies are taking to us with greater enthusiasm .”
“. As part of the Solution – the Live Chat Feature, “High Tea with Top Shots”, increases corporate brand recall, where corporates can discuss specifics of their company and their industry, with the target audience, which would otherwise not have been highlighted. High Tea with Top Shots also gives them an avenue in which they can interact with tech-savvy professionals, and get to feel their pulse in a real time environment.” added Mr. Madhukar.
In the inaugural session on Wednesday, 4th March 2009 Mr. Karthik Sarma, Chief People Officer, WNS Global Services was available online to answer questions relating to Career Stability in IT/ITeS industry because of Economic Slowdown as TimesJobs.com’s Expert Guest.
During the live chat with jobseekers, Mr. Sarma, answered many questions regarding the ITeS Sector, Impact of US Policies on Outsourcing, Lay-Offs & Recession, Career Guidance and about WNS as a corporate recruiter.
Speaking of the ITeS Sector, the Chief People Officer of WNS Global Services said that while he had no “ready-made solution” or “mantra” – the best way that the sector could survive these times was to leverage relationships, working closely with clients and higher up the value chain thus avoiding easy substitution. In addition, NASSCOM has predicted a 16-17% growth in the industry, which will hold true for most companies and thereby the job market in general.
With regard to the impact of US Policies on Outsourcing, Mr. Sarma said, “While its difficult to predict the future, it is a little too premature to comment on how the actual policies will be shaped and what its implications will be on the Indian IT/BPO industry.”
