According to reports, the onboarding of newly hired employees by firms like Wipro and Deloitte is being delayed, and no one knows what the future holds. Almost 300–400 new hires at Wipro alone have been instructed to wait, and they are unsure if the company will ask them to join or not.

A report includes an engineer who claimed that Infosys offered him a job on March 22. However, he hasn’t heard from the company again since that time. He announced via a LinkedIn post. “Months have passed while I waited. Even on social media, I tried to get in touch with them. Despite my response, in which they requested my candidate ID and email address, they have not written to me or provided any other clear updates on the offer’s status “, he said.
According to the same report, up to 70 freshmen who Wipro hired for a Facebook project were denied onboarding.
Wipro has not provided any update on the offer, HCL has been supportive. According to BL, candidates who have similar issues were interviewed.
According to a statement from their spokesperson, Wipro restates that, as said before, the company will honor all offers to candidates for employment. A spokesperson for Deloitte also stated that all job offers would be honored. They stated, “All of our offers will be honored, we promise. We have had virtual onboarding of joinees even during the lockdown. The onboarding process may sometimes be delayed due to market disruptions.”
Infosys promised to hire 35,000 people and to respect all job offers. Even during the Coronavirus pandemic, more than 40,000 new employees would be hired, according to TCS and Wipro’s respective promises. Even their current employees receive bonuses from HCL and Accenture. However, because deliveries were halted during the lockdown, e-commerce sites like Amazon and Flipkart postponed hiring about 2,00,000 workers. Still, now that all the deliveries are permitted, they must also start hiring again.
