As part of its expansion drive, Reliance Jio will recruit about 75,000 to 80,000 people during this financial year.
“There are about 1,57,000 people on the rolls today. But that’s not important. What’s important is the number of people associated with Jio. We have one million retailers who are on-board, each one impacting two to three employees. Couple of newer businesses are opening up for us. Jio Payments bank will also be geographically distributed. 70,000 or 80,000 new people will be hired,” said Sanjay Jog, chief human resources officer of Reliance Jio, on the sidelines of a conference organised by Society for Human Resource Management in Hyderabad on Thursday.
On attrition rate in the company, he said it was about 32 per cent in the sales and technical areas related to constructions sites.
“If it is taken at the headquarter level, it is just 2 per cent. Average if you go it will come down to 18 per cent,” he was quoted as saying.
Jog reportedly said the company was having partnership with about 6,000 colleges, including technical institutions, across the country.
He said there are some embedded courses offered in these institutions and students who clear these are “Reliance ready”.
Hiring would also be done through referrals and now with the help of social media platforms, he reportedly said, adding that recruitments through referrals now accounted for about 60 per cent to 70 per cent of the hirings.
