First it was the movement of western jobs to India but now it appears it is the turn of the professionals in these countries to seek jobs in India.
Human resource consultants in the country are getting inquiries from Americans and British software professionals and managers seeking jobs in India, as many firms in the west are moving work to increase their competitiveness.
"Lot of foreign nationals are looking at mid-level and senior level positions in India. Every week, we get at least one well qualified foreigner looking for a job here," Executive Recruiting firm, The Head Hunters (India) Pvt Ltd CEO Kris Lakshmikanth told reporters on Monday.
As several IT product firms are setting up shop in India, experienced professionals from the US are also on the lookout for jobs here and the trend is being witnessed by the top tier recruitment firms, he said.
"Last year, it was Indians abroad who were shifting to places like Bangalore. Since the last six months, it is the foreigners and all the top recruitment firms are getting inquiries," said Lakshmikanth, who is the organising committee chairman for the first National Recruitment Conclave-2004, being organised by Executive Recruiters Association (ERA) in Bangalore on February 21.
He said a call centre located at New Delhi has employed Finnish people to answer queries for a leading travel portal in Europe.

This is a thing which is totally blown up! . Some people might come to India on short term contracts but thats not because of the economy but due to India's popularity as an offbeat kind of a toursit destination.

I agree with Mandeep. Mnay such workrs combine job and tourism and come to India for a year or so. I have seen a TV doccumentary on this in which many of such workers spoke about their choosing to work in India.
