I recently read an article on an UK firm offering iPad for attending job interview. The name of the firm is "Autonomy" and apparently it is one of the largest software firms in Britain. There are others in UK offering iPhones as well. These are the means they have to resort to in order to attract the best talents even while to European economy has not completely receovered. It is very difficult to say the overall impact of such moves on their abilities to finally hire the best talent, but, this is definitely a good sign for the candidates.
In India, despite the good turn around experienced by most of the IT companies, we are far away from anyone offering any decent gifts to the candidates, however there have been some good news for the existing employees. IBM which will celebrate its hundred years on the 16th of June, announced that it will give away $1000 worth shares to its 1,28,000 staff in India. Though noone else has joined the brand wagon so far, but it is expected that Tier-1 companies like TCS and Infosys, will also need to roll-out some additional incentive plans to be able to cope up with alarming attrition.
Definitely good time for the employees!
