Kerala IT companies are revamping their hiring strategies to usher in a system that involves prolonged multiple practical assessments to test the capacity of the candidates in implementing what they learn and to adapt to emerging technologies in a rapidly changing environment.
Under the conventional system, candidates are selected through shortlisting based on marks in engineering study, written tests and interviews. Such methods, industry experts feel, are no longer suitable to identify candidates who can thrive in today’s digital era with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Launchpad Kerala 2024, a month-long talent acquisition programme organised by the Kerala Section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Group of Technology Companies (GTech) across the State, is piloting the new hiring process.
