Hiring in India<\/strong><\/h6>\n

In the past year since we set up shop in Bengaluru, we have lots of interesting stories to share about hiring in India \u2013 sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying and in some cases depressing stories. That said, we do have a few nicer stories to tell as well. The other side, though, makes it for a more fascinating read :-).<\/p>\n

% of people showing up for Interview \u2013 The average must be about 50% or so after you have confirmed that they would come for sure over phone the previous day<\/p>\n

% of people showing up on the start date \u2013 My guess is it’s probably in the 60% range for larger companies and 40% range for smaller companies. The most common reason is they are looking for their existing employer to match the salary; Or they are influenced by their friends, friends, family, size of the company, indecisiveness; Or the fear of the unknown.<\/p>\n

% of people who continue to work after 3 months: Maybe 40% range. I have seen all kinds of things happen in the past one year (below are some real reasons I have come across)<\/p>\n

\u2014 Disappeared for 3 days; Says at hometown and my mom is not allowing me to go back (?!$#?)<\/p>\n

\u2014 Disappeared for a day and says my girlfriend is so very sick and I cannot come back to office, am I resigning immediately!<\/p>\n

\u2014 I am having health issues and doctor asked me not to work<\/p>\n

\u2014 Suddenly my sister’s marriage is fixed and I have to leave for 1 month; might come back, not very sure!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Best of all, one person left the laptop and email locked up (unusable) and could not reach at all!<\/p>\n

Why? I wonder do people have to lie so blatantly and so often? I wonder if ethics and truthfulness are no longer thought in schools or at home here. Or is it the habit of their social life that\u2019s manifesting itself in their professional life?<\/p>\n

Anyway now for all those folks thinking of setting up shop in India, hire<\/a> three people if you need One so that the natural laws of percentages in India work out in your favor!!<\/p>\n
