THE WATERFALL RECRUITMENT MODEL

TCS focusses mainly on their recruitment function as a good recruitment function translates
into a solid foundation for the company. In the highly competitive software industry, the
quality of people is a critical success factor for every organization.

System thinking is the basis for design of major HR practices at TCS. The simplified Waterfall
Recruitment Model is used to recruit world-class talent at the organization. In most cases,
the HR group follows a structured interview process to judge the potential candidate. TCS
also mandates the presence of at least one psychologist and a language expert to be part of
the interview panel, so that while the technology experts evaluate a candidate's technical
skills, his attitude and communication skills are not ignored.
