What matters when hiring for it companies in Tamil Nadu
Chennai's IT employers sit mainly along OMR, from Taramani and Perungudi down to Sholinganallur and the SIPCOT IT Park at Siruseri. Guindy, Porur and Ambattur hold another large share. Outside Chennai, TIDEL Park in Coimbatore and the ELCOT IT parks in Madurai and Tiruchirappalli draw firms to tier-2 cities, where salaries and attrition both run lower. Candidates in these cities often prefer to work near home, which helps retention in support roles.
Notice periods shape every IT hire. Mid-level engineers usually serve 30 to 90 days, so many offers fall through when a counter-offer arrives. We ask about notice period and buy-out options in the first call. We also run a short technical screen, because keyword-stuffed resumes are common. For contract roles, overlapping entries in a candidate's UAN service history can reveal dual employment, which most IT employers do not allow.
Contract IT staff are still employees for PF and ESI purposes. ESI covers wages up to Rs 21,000 a month, so it mostly touches helpdesk and junior roles (ESIC, as of Nov 2026). A contractor who deploys 50 or more contract workers in one establishment needs a contract labour licence under the OSH Code (as of Nov 2026). Client-site deployments also need written terms on laptops, access cards and data access.
What we check before sending candidates
- Run a short technical screen on the skills listed in the CV
- Confirm notice period, buy-out terms and last drawn CTC
- Check relieving letters and payslips from the last two employers
- Check the UAN service history for overlapping employment
- Confirm willingness for rotational or US-shift timings where the role needs it

IT companies hiring: questions employers ask
How do you charge for permanent IT placements?
Our fee for IT placements is quoted in writing for each requirement before you commit. As market context only, Indian agencies commonly quote 8.33% to 16.67% of the candidate's annual CTC for permanent roles, and 18% GST is added to the fee. The rate usually depends on seniority, how niche the skill is and how many roles you open together. Share the role and we will quote in writing.
Can you provide contract-to-hire IT staff?
Yes. Under contract-to-hire, the engineer first works on our payroll, and you move them onto your own rolls once you are satisfied. The contract period and conversion terms are agreed before the engineer starts. During the contract phase we handle salary, PF, ESI where applicable and statutory records. Conversion charges, if any, are quoted in writing for each requirement before you commit.
What happens if a candidate does not join after accepting the offer?
Offer drop-outs are a known risk in IT hiring, usually caused by a counter-offer during the notice period. If a placed candidate fails to join or leaves early, our replacement terms are set out in writing with every quote. As market context, agencies commonly offer replacement windows of 30 to 90 days. For critical roles we keep a backup candidate warm until the joining date.
How quickly can you share profiles for an IT role?
For common roles such as helpdesk engineers, testers or junior developers, we aim to share screened profiles within 48 hours for helpers and 7 days for skilled roles. Niche skills and senior roles take longer because fewer people are actively looking. The bigger delay is often the candidate's notice period, which runs 30 to 90 days for experienced engineers. Immediate joiners exist but usually ask for more.
Do you check candidates for moonlighting or fake experience?
We check what we can before sending a profile: payslips, relieving letters and the UAN service history, which shows PF contributions by employer and period. Gaps or overlaps get questioned in the screening call. Formal background verification through a specialist firm stays your decision, and we pass on the documents your verifier needs.
