The RASBIC Awards aim to recognise and honour organisations for their exemplary practices in Recruiting and Staffing. TCS is winning the honours in the former category for the second year in a row.

The jury for the award included leading experts and practitioners in human resources across India with expertise in workforce management and talent acquisition.

This year-on-year industry-wide recognition is a testimony to our robust recruitment policies, processes and methodology as well as our demonstrated ability to deliver certainty to all the key stakeholders.
