fill up as many as 25 CEO posts in 700 cities.

in place for RIL to get its retail plans off the ground.

have kept out headhunters.

BPOs: Study
A study by the Indian arm of Hay Group, a global HR
consultancy firm, revealed that employee turnover costs
in low-end-voice-based-process firms are about 76 pct of
their annual salary costs working out to more than nine
months' annual compensation.
Three fourths of what is shown as wage costs in a BPO
may actually be the money that goes towards costs of
hiring, training and rehiring.
Now BPOs are making recruitment agencies more
accountable and have put replacement clauses in place.
This means any employee exit before 60 days has to be
made good with another suitable candidate.
They are also recruiting through other channels such as
referrals, thus, making employees themselves more
accountable.
