Hi Karthik Ji,
You are right. What you stated below:
'Right now, the need for work and the necessity to meet deadlines is so high that companies do take in people for the time being and do not tend to care about so-called future consequences ('lets cross the bridge when we come to it' syndrome). For all that you know, the HR personnel taking in the frequent job hopper would not necessarily care because he would himself be in a different job when the candidate he hired has hopped. "
makes things more difficult. If everyone starts thinking "let us cross the bridge when it comes", isn'y dangerous for an organisation?
Thanks

The IT industry has a different business model, and that is why job-hopping happens. People are body-shopped or made billable for a project. Once the project is over, they are put in a bench-pool, and if they can't be provided with a project (mostly because the company can't get a suitable project rather than employee incompetency), they are immediately asked to resign or are terminated. Sometimes employees are asked to work in a role that doesn't suit their profile at all, just for the sake of billability. So please don't lament that employees are job-hopping a lot and see it as a lack of loyalty; what these IT/ITES organizations are doing, are they in an ethical position to blame?
Middlemen making money out of employees by body-shopping business are the worst as they treat their employees as commodities in the market, often denying benefits! IT/ITES organizations just want to get an employee billed by any client; they aren't considerate of employees with exceptional skill or the quality of the project. Lack of labor rights, lack of unions for collective bargaining, or a voice against injustice is another aspect of the Indian IT sector. To make things worse, politics and partiality by managers and unethical and inhuman organizational practices do exist in service companies and body shopping consultancies.
Having said that there are exceptional players in the market too - like captive centers and product development companies - who value employees and respect their skills. In such companies, attrition rates are much lower.
To conclude, please analyze the fingers that are pointing to companies and HR before IT sector's job-hopping phenomena.
Employees are voiceless in most cases in billing-oriented companies, and there is enough justification for their job switching.
