It is a great place to work for Mediocre Indians who want to earn more than they deserve or their skills justify. let's be honest, not all of us are star performers, so if you are an average performer with limited growth in India and manage to get in, just join, earn well without much effort, complain about Africa's Hardships, and enjoy it while it lasts. The Top leadership is good, but they can't be everywhere, so they have to rely on people who have simply learned how to stay relevant. Lets face it - if you are truly talented, you'll find great opportunities in India itself, if you want to earn in dollars, you'd go to Europe, America, the Gulf, or worst East Africa.

Meanwhile, you have monthly recruitment targets to meet. Supplying CVs for a challenging geography as such is an endless job if the Hiring Manager is incompetent and has an agenda to push "his guy" eventually. 3. TA sits in different country while Hiring Managers meet leadership daily, controlling the narrative. How many battles can a recruiter fight when the very people they rely on for target completion are undermining them, making them a scapegoat for own incompetency. The company does have a few good people - the problem is, they are just a few. A strong Talent Acquisition strategy is the only way forward. But the real question is: how?...Read More
