Recruit before career day starts…

After reading this article I got an idea…

More than half of Silicon Valley companies are outsourcing, and roughly half of those outsourced jobs are going to India, according to a survey released Thursday by Santa Clara University.

More than 53 percent of Silicon Valley companies surveyed this month reported that they outsource a portion, or all, of their operations, according to the survey. And India is benefiting.

“India has an educated work force, and its people speak English, so it makes it an attractive place for outsourcing,” said Mario Belotti, an economics professor at the university’s Leavey School of Business.

With so much talent in India, would it not make sense to start recruiting talent there earlier than say, Seniors seeking internships? Or “freshers” (the newly graduated) as they exit their alma matter? Why not create relationships with students as soon as they are accepted into say… the top 20 schools in India? It would be sooo much easier to recruit someone you have a 4-year relationship (and their friends) verses someone you just met at a careerfair. (Especially when you are competing with other companies.)

If this make sense to you and (presumably) you are a corporate recruiter, then you might find this list of interest.
