Why
Reliance Jio is showering high increments on top performers
The
company has taken extra care to reward some people, from specific
roles/functions, based on their efforts and commendable performance.
After
revolutionising the 4G offerings in the telecom industry, Reliance Jio
Infocomm, a wholly- owned subsidiary of Reliance Industries, is now delighting
its employees too as it is providing salary hike of up to 25 per cent to its
top performers.
Jio has
increased salaries of the top performers among its junior and middle-level
managers by 15 per cent while the high performers among its senior executives,
in the level of DGM and above, have got a 10 per cent raise, a spokesperson
close to the matter shared with HRKatha. He also said that, “A few people who
have done extraordinarily well in their roles, across levels and functions,
have even received a hike of 25 per cent.”
However,
the decision to provide hikes that are way better than what the telecom industry
has offered this fiscal, is not a retention strategy resulting from recent key
exits from the company, but are in line with the company’s endeavours to excite
its employees as much as its customers.

LinkedIn
lets you seek a job without your boss knowing
LinkedIn’s
new feature, Open Candidates, allows users to secretly declare that they're available
for hire.
Professionals
across domains have used LinkedIn to seek new opportunities, showcasing their
profiles and expertise to potential employers as strongly as recruiters have
used the platform to mine potential talent. Taking this a step further, the
company is now allowing candidates to privately declare that they are open to
being hired, which will only be visible to recruiters.
The
professional social network recently announced a new feature called Open
Candidates, which allows users to flip a switch under the ‘preferences’ tab
that tells recruiters they're open to job opportunities. Recruiters who pay for
LinkedIn's premium service will then see a tab in its search results that lists
profiles of those who have turned on the signal, connecting them with what
LinkedIn calls ‘warm’ talent. Others won't be able to see if a user has turned
on the feature, and LinkedIn hides the signal from recruiters at an
individual's own company or its subsidiaries.
Eduardo
Vivas, head of product, Talent Solutions, LinkedIn, shared in an official blog,
“Through Open Candidates — a spotlight feature within our Recruiter product —
we’re making it easy for LinkedIn members to privately raise their hand to say
‘I’m open to being recruited’ for the first time ever.”
