TCS Job Scam: Company Responds to Allegations

TCS called media stories on an alleged TCS job scam "incorrect" even as it acknowledged that some of its workers and vendors had broken the code of conduct. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), which asserted that no critical executive personnel was engaged, likewise defended senior management. Additionally, it disqualified the corporation and its Resource Management Group from any involvement in this.

TCS does not handle its hiring processes through the Resource Management Group

"The complaint referred to in the article relates to hiring such contract resources employed by the contractors."

Employees Fired over TCS Job Scam

A portion of the media stated on Friday that TCS had compromised the hiring procedure at the Tata Group company by uncovering a multi-million dollar TCS job scam. The nation's top exporter of IT services reportedly fired four employees for breaking its code of conduct after an alleged Rs 100 crore bribe-for-job scandal surfaced there.

According to reports, TCS has blacklisted three staffing companies that hired people on a contract basis and ordered E S Chakravarthy, the director of its recruitment business Resource Management Group (RMG), on leave.

How was TCS Job Scam Discovered?

A whistleblower informed the company's CEO and COO that ES Chakravarthy, the worldwide head of RMG, had been collecting payments from the staffing companies involved in choosing applicants, which led to the discovery of the entire scandal. A three-person panel, directed by Chief Information Security Officer Ajit Menon, was assembled by the IT major to investigate the claims.
