Further similar to other tech companies, HCL taken its onboarding and hiring process online."Hiring is based on two parameters -- growth and backfilling we must do due to attrition. In the last quarter and in the current one, the attrition has come down significantly. This quarter, it looks like single-digit attrition. So out back-fill hiring will also be less," HCL HR Head Apaprao VV told The Times of India.

The company during the first quarter of FY 21 hired 1000 freshers and the pace has been slow given the shutdown of several of its work campuses across cities in the country amid the pandemic.

Also, other IT companies are trying to maintain hiring at the same level as that of the previous year's. The company posted better than expected results for the quarter ended June with 31% jump in net profit.
