Mumbai, Sep 9: Leading FMCG major Hindustan Unilever (HUL) will hire about 1,050 people each year for the next two-three years, a top official said today.


“We routinely recruit about 40-50 management trainees from management schools and technical schools for our managerial ranks, those are the numbers that will continue for the next two-three years. We recruit 700-1,000 people in our factories and the people who sell for us and that is the same number that will stay,” the company's Executive Director Human Resources Leena Nair told reporters at the sidelines of a CII event here.

She added that there was no change in their hiring strategy and the company might hire 20 of the managerial rank recruits in sales and marketing and the rest distributed across all functions.

When asked about pay hike, she said, “there is no change in the pay package from us this year but we are one of the good paymasters at the campus and we will continue to do that.”

On attrition levels in the industry, she said, “attrition rates across industry are high. In fact in most industries it is in strong double digit. I certainly see that as a challenge that HR persons have to contend with.”

According to Mercer report, the attrition rate in FMCG is 18.5 per cent and Nair said HUL's attrition rate was less than five per cent.

She further said that there were job opportunities in retail, hospitality and service oriented industry and information technology industries.

Nair who also is the chairperson for CII in Maharashtra said that about 1.4-1.5 million jobs will be created in the state in the next 5-7 years. PTI
