India as a thought leader in Recruiting?

Well, Dr. John Sullivan certainly thinks so in his 2005 annual roundup called "Who's ahead of the curve?"

Yes, I know, it's a country. But you had better watch these fast-growing Indian firms because they have plans to open facilities and recruit all over the world. Using a kind of reverse engineering, firms are planning on opening R&D facilities where the talent currently resides (in North America, Asia,
and Europe). They are incredibly aggressive because they don't have to unlearn all of the old-fashioned recruiting traditions that restrict most thinking.
