Mahindra Satyam has announced that it is stepping up efforts to attract talent across Asia-Pacific and India, two of its fastest-growing markets. The outreach initiatives, launched as an essential part of its regional business strategy, are targeted towards potential employees both within and outside the industry.
Notable among these, is "Starting Over", a lateral recruiting initiative that taps into a highly talented pool of mid-career women seeking to restart their careers at Mahindra Satyam after having taken a break for personal reasons.
The selection procedure for "Starting Over" is as per the corporate norms, although candidates are evaluated based on their potential rather than just their previous experience. Various training programmes are also provided for them to reorient them to corporate processes.
"Women make a significant part of the tech workforce today and 'Starting Over' is a novel way of honing that talent base effectively. 'Starting Over' nurtures talent right from the initial application stage and ensures opportunities to all candidates by offering three employment avenues: internship, part or full-time. In this way, we ensure that all candidates are optimally employed," said Suresh Samudrala, Head - HR, Asia-Pacific, Mahindra Satyam.
