MUMBAI: The Indian Staffing Federation (ISF), representing over a hundred recruiters, plans to seek details from Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) on the recent hiring scandal at India’s largest IT company.

“Our regulatory committee will approach the brand and see if they can share information related to the investigation enabling us to assist as an industry body," Lohit Bhatia, president of ISF, which requires members to uphold a code of conduct, told Mint.

Bhatia’s comments followed Mint’s report on Friday that TCS discovered that a few senior executives entrusted with hiring thousands of critical personnel accepted bribes from staffing firms, compromising the recruitment.
