Orkut India and HR

Corporate India is actively scanning Orkut and other social networking websites to fill up its ever expanding ranks. 

Recruitment through social networking websites is a new trend, but one which is expanding rapidly.

The benefits of using Orkut and other social networking sites like LinkedIn as a recruitment platform far outweigh its disadvantages. Companies scan profiles and then initiate contact with people who have potential.

But while these sites are useful for sectors and companies where the volume of recruitment is small, a company like the Tata Consultancy Services, which recruits over 15,000 people every year, prefers traditional routes like campus placements or employee referrals for their needs.
