Campus recruitment

In today’s day and age, campus recruitment has become a big issue. Some of the best headhunters target the best Indian campuses for recruiting young grads straight out of college. Campuses like the Indian Institute of technology, Indian Institute of Management actually boast about campus recruitment.

One can look at the campus recruitment from the angle of a placement service. Basically, the young and fresh minds graduating out of college are placed directly into organizations like WIPRO, INFOSYS, etc. With this many grads coming out of the college, campus recruitment is the easiest way to go about. This makes the job of the recruiter a whole lot easy.

Campus recruitment takes the placement service issue out of question. Various things are done before a student is finally recruited from campus. An interview, salary discussion as well as aptitude tests are held before a recruiter can actually hire the fresh out of college grad. Group discussion is yet another aspect of the on campus interviews. In India, the companies pay the recent grads a flat out rate. For example, WIPRO starts you out at Rs.10,000.

Therefore, it is apparent that the on campus recruitment is the best way to go about getting a job in India. Although long and a rather ugly process, this is still the only way to go about getting a job besides online job portals.
