Tata Consultancy Services has emerged the largest recruiter over the last year, followed by Infosys and Wipro Technologies, according to the annual rankings compiled by Nasscom.
Nasscom on Thursday announced the annual rankings of top 20 IT-BPO employers in India for 2010-11.
The rankings reveal a surge in hiring, with almost one third of the industry aiming to grow by 25 per cent, and a little over two-third of the industry planning to increase their employee base by 10 per cent in the coming year.
Women as a percentage of total new hires has reached more than 40 per cent over the last three years.
The cost of hiring for almost half of the industry has declined over the last three years, as a result of increased referrals, campus placements and internal job postings. Hiring from tier-III cities has also increased over the last year.
According to the latest survey findings, 90 per cent reported an increase in employee referrals; 75 per cent reported increase in campus hiring and internal job postings. Offer acceptance ratio is estimated at 80 per cent.
