Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. has adopted a different model for hiring temporary workers at one of its plants, completely eliminating the role of middlemen, according to top company officials.
The subsidiary of Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp. and India's largest carmaker is now hiring temporary workers directly, using the same selection criteria it uses to hire permanent employees, at one of its factories in India, R.C. Bhargava, chairman of Maruti Suzuki India, said, adding that this hiring method may become the company's general policy.
"We are trying out a different model to hire contract or temporary workers at our factory in Manesar (in the northern state of Haryana) ... now we don't use contractors for getting them," Bhargava said.
