According to the IT employee union Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES), Infosys recently sent out over 1,000 offer letters to candidates for its 2022 campus recruitment campaign. The offers came after a more than 2.5-year wait. The posts are for System Engineers, with a start date of October 7, 2024.
Surprisingly, these offers are being fulfilled following a recruitment event held in 2022. This large delay has prompted questions regarding the company’s recruiting and onboarding procedures.
“Every offer that we have given, that offer will be someone who will join the company. We changed some dates but beyond that, everyone will join Infosys and there is no change in that approach,” Infosys CEO Salil Parekh was quoted as saying by PTI.
The IT employee union is pleased that the uncertainty and long wait for its members are finally over. However, they have warned that if the company fails to meet its commitment, they are prepared to organise a protest outside the company’s office.
“These young engineers, who have been waiting for nearly two years, now have a confirmed joining date of October 7, 2024. This is a huge win for NITES and all the students who stood strong in the face of uncertainty and delay,” said Harpreet Singh Saluja, President, NITES.
“However, we remain vigilant… if Infosys fails to honour this commitment and breaches the joining date, we will not hesitate to organise a protest right in front of the Infosys office,” Saluja added.
“Together, we are making a difference and ensuring that the voices of young professionals are heard loud and clear,” he added.
