Ezzat believes the acceptance of remote workforce has increased access to talent from across the world. "I can onboard and train people at a very low cost. So, I can have students or even retired people or somebody who has no technological background train them because it doesn't cost a lot to train people. So, you have to start thinking differently,” Ezzat said, while talking at the 30th edition of the Nasscom Technology and Leadership Forum, on Thursday.
Capgemini's total headcount stood at 324,700 at the end of December, and it has been on a hiring spree in India.
"I have been telling my team that their next best recruit is a person who has just resigned. Because this is the person you want back. We have been taking initiatives to bring back some of these people after six months or after one year, and we have been very successful in achieving this,” he added.
