More and more firms – both national and international – are making names for themselves in India. Even more importantly is that, as they do, they need more and more qualified employees.

No company in the world today can exist without having an IT infrastructure. Someone needs to take care of their network, their servers, their websites, their databases and on and on. Therefore, as companies grow, the number of well qualified personnel – especially technical personnel – that is required to keep them growing and thriving increases.

Recently, companies such as so-called “brick and mortar” companies like Tata Motors and Internet based companies such as Flipkart and Vodafone as well as financial firms such as Paytm and Future Group and established companies such as Panasonic, Mahindra & Mahindra and Godrej all announced that they are willing to pay their top performers as much as 200% more for the coming year than they paid them for the previous year – if they keep performing well and if they do not leave the company. For example, financial firm Paytm announced that it has budgeted approximately $3-4 million dollars to pay extra pay and bonuses for its top performing employees. Paytm, as well as other companies mentioned above, have announced that they will also rewarded top performing employees with generous stock options and promotions within the companies.  Companies in India are willing to pay a premium for good talent these days – and this trend is growing!

This is where IndiaFreelancers.com comes in. On IndiaFreelancers.com you, the programmer or web designer, are able to interact with these companies as a prolonged “employment interview.” Companies hire programmers from IndiaFreelancers.com all the time. The way it works is that companies first hire a programmer or developer or website designer using IndiaFreelancers.com and, when they see the quality that the freelancer brings to the table, they offer the freelancer a job in their company.

It is a wonderful “try before you buy” sort of arrangement where everyone wins. The Freelancer is able to get his or her skills in front of companies and the company is able to test the potential employee to see if their is a “fit” between the employee and the company. Everyone wins.

Therefore, if you are a young – or not so young – programmer or web developer who wishes to “break in” into larger companies and their lucrative salaries, consider creating a profile on a site such as IndiaFreelancers.com and letting these large companies FIND YOU instead of you finding them. Let them hire you on IndiaFreelancers.com and see the excellent qualities you bring to the table – and very possibly they will hire you.

Freelancers: The Akash Mittal story

Akash Mittal is a handsome, energetic and hard working young man. He is presently pursuing the final semester of a five-year integrated Ocean Engineering programme at IIT Kharagpur. As any young man thinking of his future when his studies are nearing completion, he thought to apply to Flipkart for a job. He knew that “Being a six-pointer (CGPA), I knew I will never get through. So, I tried something innovative,” and so he did something innovative. Last week, he made a screenshot of a Flipkart listing page onto which he photoshopped  information about himself and uploaded it on to the Flipkart career page.

Well, he may not have been what Flipkart was looking for, but he is most certainly what the world is looking for. We at IndiaFreelancers.com have known all along that the world is very much looking for India’s IT talent.

So this is how the Akash Mittal story then unfolded. He may not have been quickly “snapped up” by Flipkart, but his innovative posting on Flipkart’s career page went “viral” and, as Akash has noted, soon many employers were calling Akash and offering him jobs!

As quoted in an article on EtRetail.com, Akash said that “After this thing got viral, I have received a number of offers, including that of chief product manager and chief technology officer.”

While this is wonderful news for Akash, it is what we at IndiaFreelancers.com have known all along. Employers from all over the world want India’s programmers and web designers. The world is waking up to the enormous quality that is to be found with technology professionals from India at a tremendous value because of the currency exchange. This interaction between employers worldwide and technology experts in India is exactly what we facilitate and bring together on IndiaFreelancers.com. We help to bring the employers and India’s excellent tech professionals together.

Therefore, although we are very, very happy for Akash and the wonderful happy ending to his job application story, we know that if he did not have such a happy ending to his application for employment going “viral”, he could have as well created a profile on IndiaFreelancers.com and earned large sums of money from the employers who would have hired him to develop programs and other application for them through IndiaFreelancers.com.
