GCCs wooed by staffing firms in India - Yeh Ishq Nahin Aasaan!

India has 23000 staffing/recruiting firms. Bangalore has one in every street!

There is no qualification required, no entry barrier...It is as simple as starting a Pani Puri stall.
There is a new city girl, called GCC, in this sarkari tier 3 town college! Everyone of the aspiring/non inspiring staffing/recruiting firm is trying hard to patao this girl! Videshi girlfirnd ka craze hai bhai! Chapri/Tiktoker type recruiting firm bhi lage hain, baal mein gel laga ke!
There are 1780 such GCCs in India and we have seen , some of them in India for past 25 years..
At CAGR of 11.4% they are expected to be 2400 by 2023 as per EY report!
Goldman Sach's report predicts Indian IT services export to reach $800 bn by 2030! Currently it is $340 bn. Looks like massive growth..
You may ask, how much are GCCs contributing to this $340 bn export; Answer is $43 bn for 2023. 50% of GCCs export Engineering and R&D services, mostly to their parent company! GCCs employee close to 1.7 mn staff in India.
Some upstart Staffing cum Research firms here have been over-enthusiastic about the GCCs and keep sharing recent trends of their hiring. Let me tell you, GCCs are of all hues and not everyone is doing so called "product development" for the world market, using India's unmatched talent! 80% of them do services as their parents ask them to. They are here for labor arbitrage, talent is given.
Other fact is, 50% of them may not have any niche of tech, so they can hire from any company, when cost and skills match. Others hire from a very limited set of firms, who are naturally competitors globally. Regarding core talent, each GCC would not need more than 10 other GCCs and a few other open market firms to meet their needs.
Do you know, how many of these GCCs actually make no money selling their services but just cost arbitrage with parent company, whose 100% subsidiaries they are?

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Why Organizations are so BAD at Talent Management? A curious case below..

Founded in 2019 in South San Francisco, ProcDNA has grown 2x in 24 months....from 100 to 200 as of Feb 25th as you see the snapshot below. I was looking at their India staff data looking actively for jobs as evident on Naukri.com, a leading job portal in India. For past 30 days, 39 staff in India looking out actively. If you check for past 2 months, this number inflates to 49. Median tenure of staff here is 8 months. What interests me are the following: 27 jobs posted on LinkedIn and 9 out of them are just repetitions. Same job posted many times (5x at times). There is only 1 Director level job is up there as far as senior open roles are concerned. Many jobs have titles like Senior/Associate/Assistant Engagement Lead, etc. Below are 4 senior staff in key roles who are active on Naukri.com , looking for next job. What's wrong here? Nothing....they are just looking out...:) ....But that's a self fulfilling thought, right, especially when you are the co...

Reflections: the stoic way!
