The Slowdown's Effect on Indian Hiring

Filed in archive Opinions & Insights on October 28, 2008

Recently, the Washington Post published an article on the effects of the downturn on the Indian outsourcing community. While the managers in Indian companies remain confident, they are taking steps to "immunize" themselves from problems. These immunization tactics comes in the form of reduced hiring of entry-level engineers and looking at second-tier cities with lower labor costs.

Of course, the unknown variable in this mess will be the west's, and particularly the United States', hunger to continue outsourcing in a difficult economic market - particularly if the political costs offset the perceived economic benefits of offshoring.
