 India’s Emerging Population of Young Professional Talent (part 1 of 2) [11:03m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

According to a report from the Institute of International Education, there were 103,260 students from India studying at US universities… an increase of 7.7% over the previous year. That makes India the largest supplier of international students to the United States (a 15.4% market share). Student enrollment within India is estimated to be 500 times larger than in the US, creating a one of the world’s largest and fastest growing global talent supplies.

In this first, 10-minute podcast of a 2-part series, I talk with recruiting veteran Gerry Crispin, fresh off his trip to India, about the young talent emerging from Indian and international universities today, and what they’re looking for in terms of education and career. Gerry offers some interesting and somewhat surprising insights on young Indian talent in this 2-part interview.

Gerry, who established CareerXroads and the CareerXroads Colloquium with business partner Mark Mehler, also provides an ongoing recruiting discussion in “Gerry’s Blog”. He’ll be publishing more observations from his trip to India there over the coming weeks and months.

Please listen and share your own observations by posting a comment below.
