Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services provider, is holding lateral hiring interviews for tech professionals at multiple locations, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi-NCR, and Pune.

The focus is on mid-level roles across various tech functions. TCS is seeking professionals with 5 to 15 years of experience, depending on the role. The company is looking to fill positions across several skills, including:

  • Java Full Stack and Microservices
  • Azure Data Engineering
  • Power BI Development
  • Workfront Fusion
  • Python Development
  • Microservices on GCP Cloud Run
  • Azure DevOps
  • AWS DevOps with Terraform

Hiring Amid a Slow Market

This move follows a period of relative quietness in hiring across the IT sector. Global economic concerns and new trade policies from the US—TCS’s biggest market—had slowed down tech spending by clients.

As a result, TCS added only 625 employees in the fourth quarter of FY25. The previous quarter had seen a reduction of over 5,000 staff.

TCS Offers ₹40,000 Vendor Bonus to Speed Up Hiring

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services firm, has launched the Quick Joiner Incentive Plan, offering vendors an additional ₹40,000 per candidate for senior roles filled within 30 days.

This initiative aims to expedite hiring, ensuring that experienced professionals join the company swiftly to meet growing market demands.

However, the incentive comes with a condition: if the recruited employee leaves within six months, the bonus must be returned.

TCS’s hiring strategy is driven by expanding operations and high-profile outsourcing deals, including a multi-billion-dollar contract with British insurance giant Aviva.

The company is prioritizing experienced professionals over campus recruits, reflecting a broader industry trend toward specialized talent acquisition.

Under the Quick Joiner Incentive Plan, TCS vendors receive:

  • ₹40,000 per senior hire who joins within 30 days.
  • Standard recruitment fees, in addition to the bonus.
  • Conditional payout, requiring employees to remain for six months to retain the incentive.

Previous Hiring and Industry Trends

TCS had held similar hiring rounds in March and April across five cities. While the number of open roles hasn’t been shared publicly, these efforts suggest a push to meet demand in ongoing and upcoming projects.

The trend isn’t limited to TCS. Infosys, a major competitor, also began a lateral hiring drive in March. It reached out internally for candidates skilled in over 40 areas, such as cloud platforms, cybersecurity, Java, Python, Android/iOS development, and testing tools.

This increase in mid-level hiring points to IT firms slowly regaining traction in client work after a sluggish phase. While large-scale hiring may not return just yet, companies are looking to bring in talent with the right skills for current needs.
