The IT company has been on a hiring spree over the past few months. It also started its work-integrated programme Tech Bee for highschool pass outs, including freshers without an engineering background — targeted to create a deployment-ready talent pool.

The company has hired nearly 500 freshers with a stipend of ₹10,000 per month after it launched its training programme. HCL earlier notified that it is hiring nearly 10,000 freshers in 2019-20. Of this, 3,000 candidates will be hired in Noida — including nearly 1,000 highschool passouts.

Work-integrated programmes train freshers in technical skills including coding, software skills, and R&D.
