Thanks Team!

One of the idea best worked in my office:

We have few 7+ yrs old PIII computers (17inch monitor and very good configuration sometimes overtakes PIV computers in performance) but still to run advanced applications PIV is better best than PIII.

I have kept one section in my office where newly joined guys who look for IT jobs after their graduation (BE/MCA/BSc...) I provide them to choose
either morning (7AM-1PM) or after noon (2PM-8PM) shift based on their time preferences.

I take most of them without asking them any technical questions but I grill about their background and their area of interest etc.. I explain our policies and rules very clearly and give them 2 days time to decide If they are interested to join our company. I reject few people as well although If we find they are not suitable for organization.

Once they join we train them in Microsoft platform (HTML to C#) and also we help them to improve their other non technical skills needed to be to efficient in any office. After 2 months of experience we give them chance if they pick up well, to work on our Projects and also offer salary. They need to work at least 6 months in office till they start searching for dream jobs. Few of them get finance assistance as well to take care of their expenses to stay in Bangalore.

The ones who show best performance will be recruited into our office on full time then they get PIV computers and full scale pay!

This worked very well for me in terms of finding good quality folks and trust/respect we share each other is amazing.

Many guys benefited from this package working abroad now. They are so happy to get the break!

I hunted for 4 months in Bangalore to find my first job, when I got charge
to handle the show I immediately braught this idea into place which will benefit job seeker and good quality programmers/respect/name for employer. We don't take money for this in turn we spend at least 1000bucks on every guy per month to maintain our infrastructure etc.. expenses and on few small salary to lead their life in Bangalore till they find their dream job!

Regards,

Ravi.
