Infosys, Wipro, TCS among tech giants blacklisted in US recruiter's leaked email: 'Not the right fit

[kevinUsa]

Reddit user has claimed that a recruiter accidentally sent him her “secret internal selection guidelines” that go into great detail about what to look for in a candidate. The leaked internal memo has ignited controversy online after revealing selective hiring criteria for software engineers.

The memo, which surfaced on Reddit two days ago, outlined stringent preferences, favouring graduates from elite universities while explicitly rejecting candidates from major tech firms and certain backgrounds.

 

The leaked guidelines

It states that ideal candidates should have a “Bachelors or Masters of Computer Science from a top CS program” and specifically lists institutions such as MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, Caltech, UIUC, and the University of Waterloo. It notes that "special exceptions" could be made for graduates from other schools, but only if they had a 4.0 GPA.

 

Additionally, the document emphasises hiring candidates with “4-10 years of software development experience,” expertise in modern JavaScript (TypeScript, NodeJS, ReactJS), and AI/LLMs, while discouraging applicants from big companies unless they had startup experience. It also explicitly rejects “job hoppers” and candidates from consulting backgrounds.

The memo included a blacklist of employees from major companies, stating: “Candidates who have ever worked at the following companies are not the right fit.”

 

The list included Intel, Cisco, HP, TCS, Tata, Mahindra, Infosys, Capgemini, Dell, Cognizant, and Wipro.

 

The memo also made it clear that there would be “absolutely no visa sponsorships,” restricting applications to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and Canadians.

 

The Redditor who shared the memo expressed frustration, despite meeting much of the listed criteria.

He wrote, “the sheer pretentiousness and elitism kinda pissed me off ngl. And I'm someone who meets a lot of this criteria, which is why the recruiter contacted me, but it still pisses me off.”

This is all BS. There is no single entity or regulatory body that will create this blocklist and ask every recruiter to follow. Demand and supply (with some dirty management practices in the middile)

Pre-IPO and tech startups typically avoid WITCH culture, which is more common in older, non-tech legacy companies that focus on maintaining outdated systems. I work closely with talent acquisition team, and it's evident that these companies prefer hiring freshers from reputable public universities, offering them internships, and eventually transitioning them into full-time roles. I haven't encountered any presence of WITCH in the tech or startup space.

Product based companies ki WITCH toh avasaram emundii uncle, also they want to safeguard proprietary, 

startup lo they burn investors money and  at the same time they will be on lean model also they don't want someone to steal ideas or replicate their product.
