Business-Today had an interesting article on the growth of high level headhunting in India and put out this table. It apparently puts out the biggest placements in India Inc. over the last year. But as some friends from the headhunting industry told me...there seems to be a lot of people that got missed out !
(note Rs. 1 crore = $ 227,000 approx)

Interesting fact to note that two of these are ladies and both are ex-HP employees !
Note that these are people based in India so Indians hired by firms to be stationed in US or other countries are not covered.
The facts & figures in this blog make me wonder that Head hunting or technically speaking Executive Search is another career alternative which people in HR industry have.
ReplyDeleteIn fact this just does not remain confined to peole in HR domain only. Rather, search industry is full of people who just steeped in this by chance & not by choice.
The explosion has just begun, let's wait for the Big Bang now.
