Accenture builds team on cricket theme
Sify - Taramani,Chennai,India
Bangalore: Nothing excites Indians like cricket. And nobody
can motivate an Indian more than a friend or a relative.
Realising the power of these two sentiments, Accenture India's
BPO operations has launched an employee referral programme
revolving around the cricket theme. The result: the company
has received more than 4,000 resumes in about two weeks time.
Says the Accenture India's HR Lead, Rahul Varma, "Employee
referrals have always yielded good results. But combined with
the cricket theme, the success rate has been very high."
High success rate in the recruitment process would amount to
the entry of better quality of talent and more importantly,
employees who will not exit in a hurry. "When satisfied
employees refer their friends and relatives, the chances of
getting the right hire is definitely higher," says Varma.
As the recruitment process is still on at the company, how
many of these 4,000 would be converted into actual
appointments is hard to say, according to him. Currently,
Accenture India's BPO arm employs 11,000 people.
To participate in the `Cricket Mania,' employees form teams
comprising 10-15 members. For every candidate referred, the
individual and the team score points that are designated
`runs.' The runs scored for a referral depends on the level of
the candidate, the day on which the candidate is referred, the
stage in the recruitment process the referred candidate has
reached, among other factors. Apart from the top scoring team
that wins prizes, the highest individual scorer gets to visit
The Lords cricket grounds at London.
Through this interactive campaign, Accenture has ensured that
the employee referral programme becomes an engaging exercise
between the employee and the employer rather than being just a
resume gathering process, says Varma. |
