Hi-Tech Bribery - Recruitment Business in the Current IT World!

Just wanted to share this with folks around. I was thinking ‘Do such things happen?’. How offensive it would against the company if its employee takes bribe to fulfill the opening. He/ she who took bribe along with he/ she who bribed for the position will be sacked immediately and would be black listed in NASSCOM, if found guilty. I know corruption & bribery is there everywhere, but this is like ‘selling’ the jobs. OMG!

Why should one bribe for getting a job? I could think of only one reason – looking for a break in something in which he/ she doesn’t have any experience and which pays way much higher that what he/ she used to get. And why would one take bribe for filling an opening, again one reason I could think of – a sick and money minded nature of that person who is ‘selling’ a job taking ‘disadvantage’ of company’s trust on that person. We should be very careful with and keep distant from these kind of encounters, lodge a complaint against them as well with Company’s Compliance & Legal departments. Agree/ Disagree?

Below is the recent email from someone about ‘selling’ openings, which is awfully unprofessional, especially in the current IT market.

I've come to know that one of my colleagues at my current work place did take a bribe to fulfill an open position. I just don't have any proofs for that, else I would have made his life tougher.

Not just this, I've heard that of late, TCS did catch hold of it's employee who took bribe from a candidate for filling up an open position. He just got sacked immediately and black listed in NASSCOM.

 

Each company, no matter big or small, should keep an eye in this recruitment field as well, without blindly trusting its employees. There should be multiple levels to be followed in the interview process before confirming the candidate based on just an interviewer's opinion. Only then these inappropriate and irrelevant recruitments can be stopped and worth candidates will be considered to fulfill a position.

If you can't go to your management to complain against the person who took bribe from you, lodge a complaint against that person/ organization in http://www.ipaidabribe.com/. Someone will be truely listening to your frustration/ anger :)

All That Glitters Ain't Gold...

Ever heard of 'Insanity' in the professional world?

One of the third grade company I've ever seen in my life so far. People say "What's there in a Name"... Truely said.... But I've got trapped with that name itself... LOL.. A company which claims it has all the Knowledge Force, but up on my experience, that's an unethical, cheap standards company which only 'forces' people to believe it's a good company. Located in US, claiming that they have great people and they always will have great results, and a billion dollar company. LOL. Yea, a billion dollar company with no ethics. No company/ Org. will grow if it doesn't follow 'ETHICS'..... & so the people... I wonder everyone in that company are unethical or just that cheap sample whom I've faced... At times, a small sample can imply the whole body's nature...

Everyone can be Legal, but these kind of third grade companies can not be 'Ethical' and for sure, sometime it goes pathetically down if it doesn't follow ethics.

Here's the story - I was with one company when I entered USA. Everything was going good, but slow. That was the time when this brutal company came in and approached me with all the false and cheap (which I realized later) things and let me join them, leaving my company. I transfered my VISA and started working with them. That's what was the sickest decision I've ever made in my life. As an employer, one should help an enployee to over come the tough times they are facing. If can't help much, act professional. But no. This company sent me a termination letter immediately after getting to know that my current project is completed and I'm on bench, instead of holding me and placing me somewhere else. Not even a day notice period has been given to me where at least 15 days notice is required for an individual to work on that situation and look for alternatives.

I realized later that this cheapster company took me ONLY because I'd a job in hand even in that tough recession time and wanted to make money out of me.

Of course I'm in a good situation now with another great company, but just wondering why did I take such a cheap decision to join this company. Nevertheless, it was a lesson for me, a very great lesson. I would never take any steps without prior research and thinking.

This may sound stereotypic as it's my own individual experience and opinion about that
company. But I'm sure there will be many who have become victims with this company's traps.
With such people one can hardly do anything, except repenting for trusting them. They will be unethical as always, no matter what happens to an individual.

I haven't mentioned the company's name though, because I'm Ethical enough. But anyway, right people will definitely know whom I'm talking about, people who are victims of that company or might have affected in some or the other way. ;)

Finally, No big deal in being Legal. Being Ethincal is what one (as an individual or as an organization) has to be.

Be careful in taking any step regarding your career. These kind of cheapsters will come in between, diverting your minds. Mind you, All that glitters is not gold...
