Recruitment Ruckus: Wipro Faces Allegations Over Delayed Onboarding

NITES has filed a complaint with the labour minister, accusing Wipro of delaying the onboarding of 250 fresh graduates. The organization claims this impacts candidates selected through specific recruitment programs and highlights a lack of transparency. NITES urges government intervention for clarity and fairness in the recruitment process.

The Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) has lodged a formal complaint with Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya against Wipro Limited, alleging significant delays in the onboarding of over 250 fresh graduates. These graduates were reportedly selected through Wipro's campus recruitment initiatives, including the 'Turbo' and 'NextGen Talent hiring' programs.

NITES claims that affected candidates are experiencing undue stress and financial strain due to unfulfilled joining dates, despite completing necessary requirements such as background checks. The employees' body is calling for government intervention, seeking an explanation from Wipro and demanding transparent communication to resolve the issue.

The complaint emphasizes that Wipro's purported delays amount to an 'unfair recruitment practice,' potentially setting a harmful precedent within the IT sector. NITES insists that the company's practices could negatively impact job seekers and the integrity of recruitment mechanisms unless addressed by the authorities.
