HCLTech to add over 10,000 freshers in FY25

India’s third largest IT services company HCLTech is all set to onboard over 10,000 freshers in the fiscal year 2025, coming at a time when many of its peers are avoiding sharing campus hiring targets amid an uncertain demand environment.

Speaking at the company’s fourth-quarter earnings conference, Ramachandran Sundararajan, chief people officer said, “For FY25, our go in position is about 10,000. So the off-campus cycle we did in the last quarter, we have more than 10% of the plan coming from that. From the campus cycle for this quarter, we have already released the offers which covers another 15 percent of that plan, and the next cycle too is on.”

“So if you look at the readiness to meet the numbers for this year, we are quite prepared for that. So the go-in position is we look at 10,000 plus for FY25,” he added.

HCLTech had also bucked the larger IT industry-wide trend on both sequential and full-year net addition numbers. It added 2,725 employees in the fourth quarter ended March 31.
