Indian recruitment consultancies operating in the UK

Ouch!

Makes sense it didn't last long

Some of the biggest bullies on the planet, in my experience. Worked on a project with a couple of them before, of course they tried it on, but we managed to resolve things with resorting to any violence

The other Indian guy they hired, they bullied and harassed the guy on a seemingly hourly basis.
He did a fair few (free) late nights too.

When it was suggested I do the same, they decided to leave me alone, as I made it abundantly clear I would issue my weeks notice.

Total W@nkers.

It's a disgusting culture that permeates from the very top. I have PMed you.

Former senior guy at Wipro here. The only way you will be any good in the eyes of the Indian's is if you are a complete and utter **** to your reports & contractors. If you are good in the eyes of your reports and clients, you will not last long. I didn't.

I've found a couple of senior Wipro people to be good. Other than that, I wouldn't touch them with someone else's bargepole, or indeed any other Indian agency or 'consultancy'.

Doesn't stop me getting lots of linkedin requests from them. Just decline and mark as spam. Shows how much linkedin cares about abuse of its mail system.

If you are getting calls from them better, I suggest you just take it or else forget contracting.....


What you really need to be beware of is agencies which do market research with no work on the table..... to be honest I don't mind cause I like everyone improving.

Your view is quite disturbing..... its best to be clear than to be clever.

Feck me, a little bit of wee came out.

I wouldn't work with any of those useless cockwombles, to label then as "top" consulting firms of any kind is beyond a joke

I would suggest his "view" is a lot less disturbing than yours.
Have you worked for Tech Mehindra, TATA, or Wi Pro for long

Easier to separate fool from his money. And yet there must be somebody out there other than us lot that are falling for that particular numbers game.

+1 LI really is losing its value, in fact if I ever go perm again I will delete my account. As for Indians I has a PM (via Linked In) from some who were looking to hire me for a 4 day Java course running locally to me for 300 notes a day, a quick google surfaced that they were charging delegates 2k and 12 delegates per course was the minimum for them to run the course, best part was the 300 a day made no provision for adding VAT so closer to 250, told Anjay to jog on...if they're not trying to convince me that my Mac has a 'windows virus' they are trying to shaft me on training fees...useless.

+1

The best Indians are either in America, London or are at a top tech firm in India, such as Google. The "consultants" that I've seen couldn't consult their way out of a paper bag.

Seriously? I wouldn't touch any of them with a bargepole.

I know of at least 3 people who took up contracts through them (TM) only to be replaced a couple of weeks in once they'd found an Indian replacement to parachute in.

I guess these days they don't even need somebody homegrown to temporarily fill an urgent requirement as there are so many Indians already here to choose from.

Yep, got contacted by a consultant from Tech Mahindra a little while back.. Utter shambles of a telephone conversation!

Proceed with the upmost caution. Better still, introduce them to your mate Tone... Ring Tone
