Mumbai, Dec. 23 Yahoo has not yet put a freeze on hiring plans for its India unit, according to a top company official.

Moreover, the company is on track with its annual hiring target from campuses, Mr Gopal Krishna, Yahoo India’s Vice-President and Head of Emerging Markets, told newspersons on the sidelines of a press conference here on Tuesday.

This statement comes two weeks after a yahoo spokesperson was reported as saying that three per cent (45 people) of Yahoo’s India headcount have been laid off.

The pink-slips were in line with the company’s guidance given in October for the fourth quarter of 2008, which hinted at terminating the services of about 1,500 employees worldwide during the current quarter.

Last Friday, Yahoo acquired 30 per cent strategic stake in Info Network Management Co, a company with a phone directory service named Call Ezee.
