IIM A Placements (Cluster Two): Nestle SA First time Offers role to IIMA Students for its International Management & Sales Training Programme

The second Cluster of the cohort-based final recruitment process began Friday evening and continued through the entire day. The process started late evening Friday to allow firms which wished to conduct group discussions enough time to do so before the interviews started on Saturday. Indian investment banks, corporate leadership program and global FMCG operations are among the several prominent cohorts constituting Cluster Two.

Deloitte made 10 offers (including lateral offers) for consulting roles. Other regular recruiters like TAS and Feedback Ventures offered general management and consulting roles and hired 6 students each. Other recruiters on campus were HUL, P&G, American Express, Standard Chartered and Nestle. Apart from the offers extended today, Nestle SA also is in the process of exclusively hiring IIMA students for its International Management & Sales Training Programme. This is the first time Nestle is offering this role in India and it is keen to offer this role to IIM-A students.

According to Recruitment Secretary, Himanshu Nema, “It is heartening to see recruiters from a variety of sectors taking a liking to the new cohort based process. One of the innovations this year of separating GDs and interviews proved crucial in improving the interviewing experience for both interviews and students. While running the process, it was evident that a considerable amount of pressure was released from the system, thereby firms and students interacted in a better fashion, hopefully resulting in better hiring decisions.”

At the time of this press release Cluster Two interviews were still in progress.
