WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 2018--
Virtusa Corporation (NASDAQ GS: VRTU), a global business consulting and
IT outsourcing company that accelerates business outcomes for its
clients, today announced it is the winner of 2017 North American and
2017 Asia-Pacific (APAC) Candidate Experience (CandE) Awards for
delivering outstanding experiences to candidates throughout the
recruitment process. Out of 225 participating companies in North America
(U.S. and Canada) and APAC, Virtusa received the highest positive
ratings from a representative sample of candidates who applied for a
position and were mostly not hired.
“We are proud to receive this recognition, which is a validation of
our strong investments in innovative technology to recruit and hire top
talent and deliver positive experiences for job candidates,” said
Sundararajan Narayanan, chief people officer, Virtusa. “In working with
technologies that best support our talent management and acquisition
needs, Virtusa is well-positioned as a forward-looking and
forward-thinking company determined to outpace competitors and drive
positive business impact.”
Developed by nonprofit organization, Talent Board, the CandE Awards are
open to all and are determined based on two primary survey rounds
designed to evaluate and recognize organizations that produce
outstanding candidate experiences. Feedback was collected from nearly
200,000 job candidates from companies across North America and APAC,
which resulted in Virtusa being named one of this year’s top 50 North
American CandE Award winners and one of the top 10 APAC CandE Award
winners.
“This award recognizes our strong talent acquisition team whose goal
is to ensure that the recruitment experience at Virtusa is reflective of
our company’s culture and values,” said E. Subramanian, vice president
and global talent acquisition head, Virtusa. “Positive candidate
experiences allow us to attract the best candidates and build a
high-quality talent pipeline. Our candidates are our primary brand
ambassadors and it has always been our goal to provide job search
experiences that empower them to obtain the jobs they need while leaving
a lasting impression of our overall brand.”
Virtusa is an employee-centric company with 80 percent of employees
being tech-savvy millennials. Virtusa’s use of innovative technology to
recruit and hire top entry-level and talented niche mid-market employees
helps the company effectively address its business needs and reinforces
the company’s positioning as an employer of choice. For example,
Virtusa’s use of Monster technologies for social and digital hiring
campaigns directly reaches millennials where they already are, such as
on social media and other networking sites. This has helped Virtusa
deliver positive experiences for candidates. Furthermore, Virtusa spends
significant time and resources engaging and retaining millennials once
they are hired through gamification, the company’s internal social
business platform V+ and digital events such as YamJams.
“The CandE Awards research has proven that positive candidate
experiences lead to positive hiring outcomes, which often have positive
business implications,” said Gerry Crispin, Talent Board co-founder and
principal and chief navigator at CareerXroads. “This year’s CandE Awards
winners have demonstrated their commitment to upholding this practice
and we are delighted to recognize their work advancing the recruiting
process.”
Virtusa has been recognized globally for its commitment to employee
excellence, hiring and HR practices. Some of the recognitions Virtusa
has received include the prestigious Stevie Award, UK’s Top Employer,
Achiever’s 50 Most Engaged Work Places in America award and Asia’s Best
Employer Brand Award, among others.
