Indian recruitment consultancies operating in the UK

[TheDude]

Recently encountered "Blackcode" which would appear to be a British recruitment front end for "Photon", an Indian services company.

Went along to an interview, it was only when I saw the time zones in the interview invite (well, and the names) that I figured out what was being arranged.

Got marked down in the interview for saying that I'd rather deliver something late but working, over on time but broken ("which is our company's philosophy")

I have found that in interviews conducted from India the interviewers tend to ask questions incredibly specific to the language/framework/platform in question rather than try to determine the candidates level of competence and experience.

It leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling that the interviewers don't really know what they are talking about.

On time, but with most of the requirements descoped to phase 2, 3 & 4 (which we're only telling you about now)

Yep, very typical: it's fun to see how they start with the best intentions, then descope tons of requirements to define the bare MVP, then descope some more, and then finally end up going live with a product that is de facto worse than what was there before.

But you forget how much money is made from support and projects extensions...

This forum is trash.

and you keep coming back because...?

[ConsultingTechArchitect]

Our Indian friends are pathologically averse to saying "No"... Makes life difficult at times.

Bollocks. Our Indian friends are perfectly capable of saying "No, you're wrong"; they've done it to me many times. You just have to understand the body language.

ok......

I agree with you, I said the same things with slightly worse English was called racist. This forum is trash.
