The IT recruitment division is responsible for a large part of the hiring at Wipro Technologies, except for the key senior leadership positions. Wipro Technologies, which has been in the midst of a 360-degree restructuring exercise as it attempts to fastrack growth, carved out a business operations unit two months ago.
The company rolled the business applications services, global delivery, quality and information systems functions into the new unit.
"The IT recruitment team will be responsible for hiring, training and development. Earlier this was reporting to chief global delivery officer Sambuddha Deb and head of quality Jagdish Ramaswamy. Since their functions are now being headed by Bhanumurthy all the delivery recruitment will now come under him," a senior executive in the company said.
Company executives also feel that this division would be better equipped to hire for the profiles that it needs. With this change a bulk of the technical talent will moved to the business operations unit.
So for instance, the hiring of 2500 coders will be done by Bhanu and the 25 global leaders who looks into qualitative profiles will come under a separate team,said another senior executive at Wipro.
The new business operations unit has been created to club all the delivery functions of the company under one roof and bring in greater automation at the back end. Wipro's restructuring exercise started last year when the company's dismantled its joint CEO model and brought in T K Kurien as the new CEO.
The company has since been working towards creating "one Wipro" that will run more cohesively and be more agile in responding to client needs. Wipro has also made several changes to its leadership team and streamlined business divisions.
