The Country's largest software maker, TCS, today said it expects to keep overseas hiring flat at ten per cent of the total 60,000 people it will be recruiting this fiscal.

"The overseas hiring will be similar to the ten per cent which we have done earlier," TCS's Global Head of Human Resources, Ajoyendra Mukherjee, told PTI. He, however, said the Tata Group company is yet to firm up a detailed plan on overseas hiring and will do so soon.

TCS hires people overseas based on merit depending on the job requirements, such as knowledge of the local language which is essential for certain projects in Latin America, he said, adding that non-Indians constitute 6.95 per cent of the company's total employee strength of over 1.98 lakh.
