Hiring of freshers by IT companies likely to go off-campus in FY25

Although the top four IT services players-Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro, and HCLTechhave announced their 2024-25 plans to embark on the campus recruitment trail, there is a sense of restraint compared to the bustling hiring seasons of the past.

There is a shift in hiring trends, according to human resource (HR) experts, suggesting a lean towards the off-campus recruitment season.

Business Standard's conversations with several colleges reveal that while IT firms have expressed interest in campus recruitment, many are yet to commit to specific timelines for their visits.

Still, according to HR experts, 202425 appears to be more promising than the last. According to estimates from Xpheno, a staffing consultancy, the IT sector's campus intake may range between 100,000 and 120,000, significantly higher than the sub70,000 figure recorded last year.

The engineering campus hiring season typically stretches from July to September, with off-campus recruitment commencing as late as December and extending into March.
