Temping tempting for fresh MBAs
Temping tempting for fresh MBAs
Mumbai: Campuses might be brimming with placements, but MBA student Ronak Solanki wasn’t lucky enough to find a job. Very few companies visited his institute in Mysore.
As he scouted all around Mysore and Bangalore for a decent job, his friend Arun Kumar, an engineering student, suggested an alternative with a temporary staffing firm in Bangalore.
Kumar knew that some temporary staffing firms were hiring. If they join the firms, Kumar and Solanki will work on project basis for IT, retail, and insurance companies, but will be on the payrolls of the staffing firms as temps.
The temp jobs will not only provide them with a salary of Rs8,000-10,000 per month and work experience, but also flexibility and exposure to different organisational cultures and processes.
Though recruitment across MBA and engineering campuses this year has been better compared to last year, students from tier II and III institutes are finding it tough to get jobs.
Hence, students like Solanki and Kumar are exploring options like temping, which sometime ago was not given much thought.
E Balaji, CEO of Chennai-based human resource solutions firm Ma Foi Management Consultants, says that earlier, job seekers had a strong preference for being on the payrolls of companiesthey would be working for. “But that attitude is gradually changing with people ready to join temping companies.”
Sometime ago, mostly arts, commerce or science graduates would join temping firms, but now engineering graduates and MBAs are joining as well, says Rajesh AR, vice-president of Bangalore-based staffing firm TeamLease Services.
Human resource consultant Anish Laikar says companies look for temps for functions like finance, administration, accounts, sales and data processing.
Starting salaries in temping can range from Rs6,000 in retail to Rs8,000-12,000 in insurance, IT and financial services.
Temping companies are seeing demand from India Inc surging by approximately 12% quarter on quarter. “We are witnessing growth. Hence we should be adding 10,000 temps per quarter,” says Sudhakar Balakrishnan, managing director of Adecco India, a Bangalore-based firm with 81,000 temps.
Rajesh says TeamLease would be looking at adding 2,000 temps per month to their current strength of 65,000.
Experts say the demand for temps is growing, as temping allows companies to save 10-15% of their manpower costs in areas like pensions, insurance, healthcare expenses and provident fund.
Moreover, for short-term projects, like the marketing of a new product, companies prefer having temps rather than adding more people to their payrolls.
“Moreover, in scenarios like these, where recovery is still slow, companies would prefer not to add to their manpower costs,” Rajesh says. “Thus, they would go for temps.”

NIIT ropes in industry leaders, CEOs to mentor MBA students
NIIT ropes in industry leaders, CEOs to mentor MBA students
NEW DELHI: NIIT University has roped in leading industry leaders and CEOs, including Manoj Kohli of Bharti Airtel, to mentor its MBA students.
NIIT University--the not-for-profit institution of IT education provider NIIT Ltd--will start offerring an unique MBA programme from August this year under which industry stalwarts will mentor students.
Already 15 CEOs, including Manoj Kohli of Airtel, Raghupati Singhania of JK Industries, and Bhaskar Pramanik of Oracle India have agreed to mentor the NIIT-MBA students.
"The mentorship programme is an unique feature. As per the programme, a group of two-three students would be assigned a mentor. The students can interact with their mentor during the course of their programme," Rajendra S Pawar, chairman, NIIT Ltd and founder, NIIT University, said.
Besides, this NIIT University (NU) has also roped in mid-level managers to coach the students.
"To make this programme industry-linked, we will also have mid-level managers from the industry whom the students can contact anytime for any kind of help," Pawar added.
NU-MBA, as the course is described, will be a two-year fully residential, industry-linked program that will be offered at the University's campus at Neemrana in the NCR.
Even before the course commenced, a group of seven reputed companies, including Biocon, Ernst & Young, Fortis, ICICI Bank, Jubilant Organosys, NIIT Technologies and NIIT Ltd, have already committed placement to all students of the first batch, Pawar added.
With the growing needs of the industry for world class managers, the institutes offering MBAs have gone up in the last few years. There are over thousand recognised institutes offering MBA in India, which includes the Institute of Management, IIMs.
However, this kind of mentoring programme is a first of its kind, NIIT University President Rajeev Shorey said.
The MBA program consists of 36 courses delivered over six terms, and requires a specialisation in one the six areas offered--Strategy & Leadership, Marketing, Finance, Operations Management, Human Resources and Information Systems.
Besides, the NU-MBA also offers students a structured exposure to an emerging economy like China or an African country as a part of its 4-week Immersion Program.
Admissions for the MBA program have commenced. At present, NU offers programs from Bachelors to Doctoral levels in areas of emerging Engineering technology and Management. The University admitted its first batch of students in 2009.
