HTC Desire 310 with quad-core MediaTek chip briefly listed on European sitein

HTC has expanded its Desire range with the unveiling of a new mid-range smartphone, the Desire 310.

HTC had on Wednesday temporarily listed the new smartphone on its European site without pricing and availability details. Soon after, the HTC Desire 310 page on the site was pulled, and is currently still down, with no word on the global rollout of the device.

The HTC Desire 310 is company's first smartphone powered by a MediaTek chipset, the quad-core MT6582M clocked at 1.3GHz. The dual-SIM smartphone features a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 480x854 pixels. The HTC Desire 310 runs Android 4.2.2 out-of-the-box, while there is no word on BlinkFeed feature on the device.

It comes with 512MB of RAM and also includes 4GB of inbuilt storage, though there is no mention of expandable storage in Desire 310. It sports a 5-megapixel rear camera, while there is a VGA front-facing camera. The HTC Desire 310 comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB, EDGE, GPS and 3G connectivity options. The smartphone packs a 2000mAh battery and measures 131.44x68.03x11.25mm. The HTC Desire 310 was first spotted by PhoneArena.

Earlier, HTC introduced a new mid-range smartphone, the Desire 400 dual-SIM which was listed on company's Russian and Ukrainian sites.

The HTC Desire 400 dual-SIM runs Android Jelly Bean OS with HTC Sense UI on top featuring BlinkFeed. However, it's not clear at this stage whether the OS version in the Desire 400 dual-SIM smartphone is Android 4.2 or Android 4.3.

The HTC Desire 400 dual-SIM as the name suggests comes with dual-SIM functionality and supports micro-SIM instead of regular SIM. It comes with a 4.3-inch WVGA display with a 480x800 pixels resolution. It is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 processor along with 1GB of RAM, according to the Russian site, which also lists an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and BSI sensor, apart from a 1.6-megapixel front-facing camera.

Top Recruiters To Step-Up Hiring At B-Schools Despite Slowdown

Top Recruiters To Step-Up Hiring At B-Schools Despite Slowdown

Undaunted by slow economic growth, top recruiters are preparing to step up hiring from top B-schools, including IIMs, when campus placements kick off from first week of February.

Among Goldman Sachs, Cognizant, Capgemini, ICICI Bank, HCL Technologies, Citibank and KPMG — all leading recruiters last year — a few are looking to hire 18-100 per cent more MBAs this year, while the rest will hire at least as many as last year.

This spells good news for IIMs, many of which had struggled to place the final lot of students last year due to weak hiring sentiments and large batch sizes.

Top recruiters to step-up hiring at B-schools despite slowdown

KPMG is looking to double hiring from B-schools to 200, driven by a need to strengthen presence in advisory. “We are investing heavily to recruit top-end talent across talent pools that are relevant for our businesses,” says Shalini Pillay, head, people, performance and culture, KPMG in India.

Goldman Sachs is planning to increase its B-School hiring by 30 per cent to about 90 professionals this year, according to V Bunty Bohra, CEO for Goldman Sachs Bangalore. Last year, the firm recruited 70 Bschool students and another 45 interns.

It will also double internships this year. “As IIMs attract a pool of some of the brightest, highpotential talent across the country, our hiring from them has increased significantly,” says Bohra.

A number of factors are driving requirement of MBAs this year even though there has been no uptick in the economy: companies are keen to strengthen talent in certain key areas, build business solutions capability and also want to build a strong pipeline for the future.

Besides IIMs which will get into placement frenzy in February, the Class of 2014 at other leading management schools, including XLRI Jamshedpur, FMS, SPJIMR, NMIMS, SIBM and XIMB, will also benefit from the strong hiring outlook.

Many of them are already in the thick of final placements. Last week, ET reported that hiring at non-IIM B-schools was better than anticipated.

Citi India is stepping up hiring by 18 per cent in 2014 by hiring 65 management associates across top Bschools including 25 from the IIMs, according to Kripa Krishnamoorthy, head of talent, diversity and organisation development.

Last year, the bank hired around 55 MBAs across corporate, retail and support functions. IIM hires will comprise about 40 per cent of the associate pool in 2014 compared to 25 per cent last year. In terms of overall campus hiring, it plans to hire over 200 this year. Citi will pay its management associates around Rs 17 lakh, while for businesses like markets and investment banking, entry level talent will be paid up to Rs 35 lakh. Goldman Sachs has offered around Rs 30 -34 lakh in some non-IIM colleges, while ICICI Bank, another active recruiter on campus with 60-70 hires from the IIMs last year, will be offering Rs 12 lakh. The bank will hire the same numbers as last year.

Capgemini too will hire around 140 B-school grads, the number it hired last year. Rajesh Padmanabhan, corporate VP & chief HR officer at the organisation, says it hires for roles like business consulting and risk managers among others. The company may add a couple of new IIMs to its list this year from the six older ones it regularly visits.

Cognizant, the top recruiter last year with over 300 MBA hires, including 75 from IIMs, declined to reveal proposed hiring numbers.

But Sriram Rajagopal, VP-HR, said that while its consulting practice has been the biggest recruiter of management graduates, it now also has several groups within its Emerging Business Accelerator businesses that are looking for MBA talent for their ventures. Consulting firm BCG, which was the top recruiter across IIM-A, B and C last year, may hire marginally more this year, Suresh Subudhi, partner and director, said. BCG hired around 55-56 students across B-schools in 2013. It typically hires students as senior associates while those with over 3.5 years of experience may be taken as consultants.

BCG is also planning to expand the number of campuses it visits this year and is in talks with MDI, SP Jain, JBIMS and NMIMS.

Citigroup Plans To Hire 2,500 Professionals In India This Year

Citigroup Plans To Hire 2,500 Professionals In India This Year

Citigroup is planning to increase its headcount in India by hiring 2,500 professionals in 2014, though globally the bank does not plan to increase its people’s strength from a net add point of view.

“India is a place we are investing in. Last year, we hired around 2,500 people in India and this year we will hire about the same number of professionals,” said Paul McKinnon, head of human resources at Citigroup.

“India is an important market for Citi. It is one of our high growth countries where we plan to invest in the future,” he said, in his first ever media interaction in India since he joined the global group in February 2008.

“Some of these hires are based on in house growth in the business while others are for the various centers of excellence we have set up around the country,” said McKinnon in an exclusive interview to ET. India is one of the eight markets in Asia with revenues of over $1 billion for the group.

Citigroup plans to hire 2,500 professionals in India this year

The hiring will be across functions and businesses, including consumer banking, investment banking, transaction services and treasury business. A significant number of the recruitment will be for the consumer banking business and the group’s offshore units coming up in the country. The bank’s consumer banking business has turned around in the last two years with growth across all segments including home loans, credit cards, wealth management and basic retail banking. It was primarily due to a slew of launches in the market in the past 18 months.

In the human resources function, for example, Citigroup has decided to have a single point of contact globally for all reporting and analytics within HR. “We started a ‘Reporting Center of Excellence’ here in India. I will spend some time meeting the team to know what progress they have made,” says McKinnon.

“One of the first things that struck me when I joined Citi was the number of senior executives we had around the world that came from India and I think that is because we are a global company and offered great opportunities to learn. So we drew a lot of very talented senior players from India into the company as a whole. India is a place we will continue to come for great talent,” said McKinnon.

The proposed hiring will mostly be at the entry level or within a year or two of experience. Also Citi will hire about 200 from different campuses, including the business schools (IIMs and others), engineering colleges (IITs and others) and undergraduate (UG) college campuses.

“We hire a lot from campuses. In 2014, we have plans to hire a little over 200 people from campuses in addition to doing some lateral hires,” said McKinnon.

Regret Letters Important For Your Employer Brand

Regret Letters Important For Your Employer Brand

Organisations must send regret letters to those who were not selected, post interview.

After conducting an interview session, you might be ready with a list of selected candidates who meet your requirements. Ever thought of reaching out to the other candidates who didn’t make it to that list, with an official regret letter? If not, start doing it! Their opinion can seriously impact your employer brand.

These candidates and their opinion of your organisation can either add-up or seriously erode your employer brand value, depending on how their interview experience was. In order to understand the job-seekers’ perspective on this, TimesJobs.com conducted a poll. According to the poll results, we found out that 84 per cent out of 800 respondents expect an official regret letter, in case they are not selected after an interview. They believe it’s better than the uncertainty of not knowing the result. According to Sunil Goel, managing direction, GlobalHunt, a professional always expects to get an output for the efforts, time and resource spent on appearing for the interview process and they have a strong desire to know the final outcome.

“Most of the large global and professional organisations follow the practice of sending official regret letters to candidates who do not clear the interview process, appreciating their capabilities, time spent and efforts put in to come for the interview,” adds Goel. An ideal regret letter should also explain the candidate that they have selected someone and position is currently closed; therefore, their candidature cannot be presently considered. It should also say that the organisation would definitely like to keep in touch with him/her for future opportunities.

Keeping a candidate you don’t intent to hire, waiting for the results and not reverting back, can take a serious toll on your employer brand. A disgruntled candidate can express their discontentment with your organisation’s interview process, on their social media page; which can spread like wildfire. Goel explained that today’s world is largely dependent on social network; feedbacks and experiences spread almost instantly. A logically explained regret letter ensures positive communication, which is a key tool for effective employer branding. This, in turn, can help the employers to attract good and active talent and also allows them to dip in the passive talent pool.

‘Companies To Develop Corporate Alumni Networks And Rehire Ex-Employees’

‘Companies To Develop Corporate Alumni Networks And Rehire Ex-Employees’

Rajesh Jain, head – corporate HR, Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd.

Jain feels in 2014 businesses have to start hiring from within. This will involve taking stock of the company’s current skill inventory and redeploying to fill mid-level positions so that the new hiring can be done at the entry level

What will be the top recruitment trends in 2014 in your industry? What will be the game changers in recruiting?

Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) see the announcement of banking licenses as the next game changer when it comes to attrition and hiring scenarios. Irrespective of the number of licenses given out or the players, the effect and impact of this landmark decision may be felt across the industry especially in few areas/roles where talent demand may disproportionately increase.
Recruitment in our industry would undoubtedly increase to catch up with the growth aspirations. Most of the hiring will be at the mid-level. However, industry will also hire at entry-level to build bench strength.
One key game changer in 2014 will be to have the businesses to start hiring from within. This will involve taking stock of the company’s current skill inventory and redeploying to fill most mid-level positions so that the new hiring can be done at the entry-level. Hiring at entry-level is simpler and we can pick good people from a vast pool. Lateral hiring is difficult and the fishing area is very small and shared by many prospective employers.
Another key game changer would be to have the businesses to develop corporate alumni networks and try to rehire their ex-employees.
While traditional recruitment methods such as hiring through consultants would further get reinforced, the search at the backend will get heavily dependent upon networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.
Companies have now evolved from a model of ‘candidate relationship management’ to a model of building a ‘talent network’ from which to recruit.

What kind of compensation can candidates look out for in your industry?

Continuing on the mantra of ‘Pay for Performance’, most NBFCs doled out handsome increases to their key talent with fixed pay increases going as high as 25-35 per cent for top talent in key functions.

Going forward, we may see an increase in innovative incentive schemes, long-term benefits with organisations linking company performance with equity, corporate tie-ups or customised solutions with respect to employee benefit schemes, rewards and wellness.

What will be this industry’s top/highest paid jobs?

Top talent with specialised knowledge and skills in the areas of enterprise risk management, legal, corporate governance & compliance, corporate finance, and investment banking would command higher compensation. Seasoned management professionals and specialists in their niche area with a broad based experience across various areas of Banking and Financial Services will remain the highest paid in the sector.

What are the key challenges that every HR/Business Head in your industry should have on top of their workforce agenda in 2014?

Engage, retain and develop your workforce, effective and increased use of technology in your processes and systems should be the top most agenda in 2014. This year, we find the issues of branding, retention, development, and process automation to be top on our priority list.

Organisations will shift their focus from cost reduction to retention and development. Technology will continue to make the world a smaller place, forcing companies to improve their employment brand in every possible way. Leadership will continue to be in short supply. And HR will have to innovate to stay ahead.

Thus, 2014 looks an exciting and critically important year for HR. The economy will grow, employees will be in charge, and HR’s role in business success will be more important than ever.

Any emerging skill sets (owing to new technology/market forces) that you would like entrants to be trained/ready for?

With increasing regulatory focus of the central bank on NBFCs and the impending banking licenses, control functions such as business process automation, risk assessment and high degree of problem solving ability, strong networking capability, interpersonal skill and fraud control have become talent areas witnessing hectic activity.

What is the biggest USP of your industry (work hours, work-life balance, salary) that you would like candidates to know about?

The biggest USP of the NBFC industry is flexibility and independence in doing your work. Employees themselves earn such flexibility for themselves when they show end-to-end ownership.

Android powered 79% of smartphones sold in 2013: Study

Android powered 79% of smartphones sold in 2013: Study

The Google Android system was used on 78.9% of smartphones sold globally in 2013, a survey showed.

WASHINGTON: The Google Android system was used on 78.9% of smartphones sold globally in 2013, a survey showed.

The report by the research firm Strategy Analytics confirms the ascendancy of Android, which has extended its lead over Apple's iOS, which is used on the iPhone.

"There is little doubt that 2013 was the year of Android," said Neil Mawston, analyst with the consultancy.

"However, Android's annual growth rate slowed to 62% in 2013, its lowest level in the platform's history. We expect Android's growth to slow further in 2014 due to market saturation, and rivals like Microsoft or Firefox will be ready to pounce on any signs of a major slowdown for Android this year."

The report said Apple's global market share slipped to 15.5% in 2013 from 19.4% in 2012. Meanwhile Windows Phone grabbed third place with a 3.6% share, up from 2.7% a year earlier.

"Microsoft is now firmly established as the smartphone industry's third major ecosystem, shipping 35.7 million units worldwide," Mawston said.

"However, the Windows Phone platform is still struggling to gain traction in the low-tier and premium-tier smartphone categories and they remain serious weaknesses that Microsoft will need to address in 2014."

Strategy Analytics said global smartphone sales rose 41% last year to 990 million.

A report Monday by IDC said the total was just over one billion, with Samsung the largest vendor at 31.3%.

Tablet sales up 50% in 2013, iPad share falls: IDC

Global sales of tablets surged 50.6% last year, with Apple clinging to the top vendor spot amid strong gains by rivals.

WASHINGTON: Global sales of tablets surged 50.6% last year, with Apple clinging to the top vendor spot amid strong gains by rivals, a survey showed.

International Data Corp (IDC) said worldwide tablet shipments totaled 217.1 million, up from 144.2 million in 2012.

IDC said Apple's iPad is increasing sales but slower than the overall market, and that growth rates are tapering off in the big markets like the United States.

"It's becoming increasingly clear that markets such as the US are reaching high levels of consumer saturation and while emerging markets continue to show strong growth this has not been enough to sustain the dramatic worldwide growth rates of years past," said IDC analyst Tom Mainelli.

"We expect commercial purchases of tablets to continue to accelerate in mature markets, but softness in the consumer segment -- brought about by high penetration rates and increased competition for the consumer dollar -- point to a more challenging environment for tablets in 2014 and beyond."

IDC said sales in the fourth quarter grew 62.4% from the third quarter to 76.9 million, amid a holiday season featuring several new product launches. That was up 28.4% from the same period a year earlier.

In the quarter, Apple sold 26 million iPads, for a 33.8% market share, IDC said. That was down from 38.2% a year earlier.

"While the quarter represented (Apple's) most successful on record, its year-over-year growth of 13.5 percent was well below the industry average," IDC said.

"The numbers bring into focus the challenges the company faces as it attempts to grow its tablet business in markets outside of its traditional mature-market strongholds and in the face of continued success from competitors both large and small."

Samsung was the number two vendor, selling 14.5 million tablets for an 18.8% market share, according to the survey.

IDC said Amazon -- which does not publicly reveal sales of its Kindle devices -- sold 5.8 million tablets in the fourth quarter, securing the number three spot globally with a 7.6% market share.

Taiwan's Asus was fourth with 5.1% and China's Lenovo fifth with 4.4 percent, the survey showed

Why Facebook can celebrate its 10th birthday early

Why Facebook can celebrate its 10th birthday early

The results from its latest quarter showed that for the first time, mobile advertising accounted for more than half of its total ad revenue.

NEW YORK: Facebook can celebrate its 10th birthday a few days early.

The results from its latest quarter showed that for the first time, mobile advertising accounted for more than half of its total ad revenue. That's a clear sign that the social network born a decade ago in the desktop computer era is succeeding in its goal of being "mobile first."

Facebook's earnings and revenue for the final three months of 2013 handily surpassed Wall Street's expectations for the third quarter in a row as it further expands the number of users and the amount of money it makes on mobile ads.

"If 2012 was the year where we turned our core product into a mobile product, then 2013 was the year we where we turned our business into a mobile business," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a conference call with analysts. "I expect 2014 will be the year where we begin to deliver new and engaging types of mobile experiences."

Facebook said that it earned $523 million, or 20 cents per share, in the October-December quarter. That's up from $64 million, or 3 cents per share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings were $780 million, or 31 cents per share, in the latest quarter, 4 cents ahead of analysts' estimates.

Revenue grew 63% to $2.59 billion, from $1.59 billion. Analysts, on average, had expected revenue of $2.35 billion, according to FactSet.

Facebook's stock soared 12% in extended trading after the results came out.

Facebook, which turns 10 years old next week, had 1.23 billion monthly users worldwide at the end of 2013. Of those, 757 million signed in at least once a day, up 22% from a year earlier.

Monthly mobile users stood at 945 million, up 39%. That means more than three-quarters of Facebook's users log in using their mobile devices at least once a month. Daily mobile users grew 49% to 556 million.

Fifty-three per cent of Facebook's ad revenue came from mobile during the quarter, up from 49% in the third quarter.

Facebook continues to grow its share of the worldwide digital advertising and within that, mobile advertising market. It reaped nearly 6% of the world's digital ad revenue in 2013, up from 4% in 2012, according to research firm eMarketer. Online search leader Google, meanwhile, accounted for a 32% share of the market in 2013.

When it comes to mobile ad spending, Facebook accounted for an 18% share of the total amount companies spent in 2013, according to eMarketer. That's up from 5% a year earlier.

Facebook's stock jumped $6.41 to $59.94 in extended trading. The stock had closed the regular trading session down $1.61, or 3%, at $53.53 before the earnings announcement.

Through Wednesday's close, the stock had gained 51% in the past six months, far more than the 6.4% increase for the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which the Menlo Park, California, company recently joined

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to change how tech industry works

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to change how tech industry works

Speaking to this engineering audience, Zuckerberg was much less guarded than usual about what he has done and where he is going.

SAN JOSE: Mark Zuckerberg was in his element.

Zuckerberg, whose social network turns 10 years old next week, spoke at a meeting of theOpen Compute Project.

Open Compute is an initiative that Facebookstarted three years ago to help big computing centers add the kind of cost cuts and efficiency gains from open-source software - where programmers share ideas and code across company, university and even national boundaries - to single computer servers and Web management.

If that sounds technical, you are right. Speaking to this engineering audience, Zuckerberg was much less guarded than usual about what he has done and where he is going.

His goals - some achieved and others still aspirational - paint a picture of someone who wants to do more than just be the king of social media. He wants to change the high-tech business, all the way to the guts of the data center. And he thinks he is on his way to doing it.

To start, he believes he has eliminated the technical advantages enjoyed by Amazon, Google and Yahoo.

Facebook got big after those other companies had all built proprietary global computing systems. Unable to replicate quickly what they had learned, he introduced Open Compute, which effectively crowdsourced the problem of rethinking servers, server racks, cabling, networking and a hundred other engineering problems.

"When you're first to design something, there's advantage to keeping secrets," he said, adding that "from our perspective, it was much better" to take an open-source approach. Now, he said, "we're far ahead."

He did it while saving shareholders money and hugging the planet.

According to Jay Parikh, Facebook's vice president for infrastructure, the company has saved $1.2 billion in energy and management costs by using open source products in the last three years.

"It's not just about saving money, we're saving a ton of money," he said. The server system that contains Facebook's core social graph, or all of the content that people interact with regularly, performs 4 billion operations a second, he said, at 24 percent less cost and 38 percent more efficient energy utilization than a conventional system.

Zuckerberg said Facebook's green energy approach, including windmill-based systems in Iowa and hydroelectric systems in Sweden, had saved the equivalent of power for 40,000 homes and emissions equal to 50,000 cars in the last year.

He has also done his bit to destabilize an industry worth more than $100 billion.

Big tech changes, an eminent internet economist/investor has pointed out, require a committed buyer who will encourage young companies to endure several years of learning to perfect breakthrough products.

For most of Silicon Valley's history, this was done by the US military. Facebook and the open computing project, which has drawn 150 companies, including Intel and Microsoft, looks like that firm buyer of transformational big-ticket computing technology.

As Zuckerberg put it Tuesday, "folks are heavily incentivized" to build new kinds of hardware when there is a prospect of big sales. "Facebook is a partnership company."

Innovations like servers made from cheap cellphone chips and now computer networking gear at perhaps half the operational cost of conventional products were features of the show floor at the open computing project.

"The way the market is addressed will change," said Frank Frankovsky, Facebook's vice president for hardware design and chairman of the project. "People are starting new businesses made for the way customers want to consume technology - more flexible, with more choice and control."

As tech history shows, it is tough for the incumbents to compete if that becomes the norm.

Zuckerberg really wants to connect a few billion more people. To put that another way, he is up for destroying several decades of international telecommunications practice.

That is probably a $1 trillion business. Besides Facebook and the project, Zuckerberg has started Internet.org. The headline job of the organization is to get pretty much the whole planet connected. It sounds like a noble thing to do, but it is clear he is getting ready to dive into the guts of what that will take, including remaking how the world uses wireless spectrum.

"Having a smartphone doesn't mean you're connected," he said. "An iPhone costs $2,000 for two years, and only $500 of that is the phone."

Facebook, he said, is working with carriers to deliver new services and will also seek new ways to make data hauling over wireless much more efficient.

Parikh said Internet.org was doing research, establishing partnerships with phone companies and looking at new ways to remake wireless systems, the same way it has been remaking servers and networking

Lenovo deal won't affect Motorola Moto G launch in India

Lenovo deal won't affect Motorola Moto G launch in India

NEW DELHI: In a surprise announcement,Google said that it was selling Motorola's hardware (phone) division to Lenovo. But this will not affect the launch of Moto G, Motorola's budget phone in India, expected to take place in the coming days.

The deal between Motorola and Lenovo comes days ahead of Motorola's expected announcement to re-enter the Indian retail phone market. On January 22 Motorola said that it would detail the launch plans for Moto G, its budget phone, in India on February 5.

After the deal announced, sources told TOI that the Moto G launch plan is still on schedule and will not be affected by the deal with Lenovo. "India plans are still on, India is still important to us," said a Motorola executive familiar with the Moto G launch plans.

This also confirms the statement that Google CEO Larry Page made in his blog announcing the Lenovo deal. "The deal has yet to be approved in the US or China, and this usually takes time. So until then, it's business as usual," Page wrote.

Earlier in Las Vegas, Motorola executives told TOI that the company would launch Moto G in India in partnership with a distributor that will handle the supply chain for the device in India. The company will also work with another partner to provide after sales service for the device.

In fact, Motorola senior executives, including CEO Dennis Woodside, held several meetings with journalists in Las Vegas during CES to talk about the future of Motorola's and its current business strategy. The meetings gave no impression that the company was up for sale in the market.

"Google's mission is to connect as many people as possible to internet... Motorola is a hardware manifestation of this goal. We want to build devices that connect millions of new users to internet and want to do it in a way that doesn't compromise quality of products and user experience," Steve Sinclair, vice-president of global marketing at Motorola Mobility, told TOI at that time.
