Legal
Process Outsourcing (LPO) buyers are recognising and treating their LPO
providers as partners and the staff as an extension of their
enterprise. In an exclusive interaction with TimesJobs, Kunal Purohit,
country head -India, Integreon Managed Services shares job outlook of
the LPO industry.
What is the current outlook of the LPO industry in India?
The
legal outsourcing industry has seen significant changes since 2008,
where some companies are prompted the by slow down and others a result
of evolution of the legal services market. This growth has led to a
change in the hiring needs. Companies are getting more selective about
who they hire and are paying greater attention to domain knowledge above
everything else.
What is the recruitment trends in the industry?
The
average salary in the industry is set to rise given the industry growth
and the demand for high skill talent. The compensation that we offer to
our employees is comparable to those offered by law firms and corporate
legal departments. Acquiring skilled talent is important to us and if a
candidate is talented and experienced we are willing to pay an above
average salary.
What will be the game changers in recruiting by technology?
When
it comes to technology's involvement in recruiting, I think social
integration in recruitment strategy is imperative. Traditional routes of
recruiting are still efficient however, they have to be supplemented by
social channel. It is cost effective, has one of the biggest reserves
of candidates and is an effective channel to spread the word and get a
quick response to job postings no matter what level.
