january 2010 looking back at 2009, we find a year that began on the grimmest of notes. the stock market was tanking and the banks were imploding. the economy was on the verge of collapse. even at the time of global recession and downturn, axact was able to maintain its growth momentum by achieving an outstanding 81% growth in december 2009 and a positive 45% growth in the year 2009. all the business lines of axact contributed to the revenue and profit increase. “factors behind this outstanding achievement were the strong commitment of axactians, focus on markets with growth opportunities and a strong client-focused approach” the reason behind the tremendous success, even in the most difficult times, was axact’ s relentless pursuit for new techniques and approaches in order to gain efficiencies and to improve and enhance its processes while always striving to be better than the competition. additionally, some other factors behind this outstanding achievement were the strong commitment of axactians, focus on markets with growth opportunities and a strong client-focused approach. axact fundamentally believes in growth-even in recession. axactians believe that the process of defining new strategies and planning to grow and sustaining the winning position, should not stop even during recession. recession is a time when future winners look for new strategies, make changes for improvement and strengthen their position through the methods that will help them to leave the competition when the economy takes a new turn. that’ s what axact did during the global recession time and the result is an unprecedented growth of 45%. as axact begins another year , it stands with a new level of confidence along with positive hopes and high aims about the future. www.axact.com/magazine 6axact roundup axactian -

january 2010 www.axact.com/magazine 8axact roundup axact - rated as the top employer in pakistan axact, the largest single it infrastructure of pakistan, is recently recognized as one of the top ten employers of pakistan, in a survey conducted by rozee.pk-the leading job portal of pakistan. axact was the only non-consumer brand among the top ten employers list. the sound rating by pakistan’ s leading employer testifies to axact’ s position as the number one and most sought after hr brand in the country. as a top employer , axact’ s constant pursuit to select the best talents and being the ‘employer of choice’ is a key factor to maintain the distinguished standard of employees and maintaining its leadership in the region. unlike any other brand listed in the top employers survey, axact does not carry out its revenue generation operations in pakistan, and therefore does not utilize the mass media such as television, newspapers and other brand activities in pakistan. the mass media activities play a significant role for an employers’ perceived brand value. “axact-the only non-consumer brand in the top employers’ list” axact, as the number one and most preferred employer for information technology careers, offers a wide range of job positions and profiles largely exclusive to it companies. these careers include software engineers, call center professionals, communication design specialists, international marketing and advertising professionals, graphic designers, etc. the fact that axact was and is still hiring amid the global recession is a testament to axact’ s well-defined strategy, proactive approach and efficient and robust systems and processes. axactian -

january 2010 contributed by: human resource department “more than eighty five percent of the employees are evaluated on a quantitative basis, where the evaluation points are awarded almost in real time” www.axact.com/magazine 23www.axact.com/magazine 24 axact’ s recruitment philosophy is akin to sifting out the gold from the sediment in a ravine. the philosophy derives from our fourth value; “we value quality human resource”. we believe that given enough time, training and opportunity, quality human resource always proves its worth and contributes to the overall mission of the organization. the recruitment function focuses on identifying that quality human resource and bringing it in and making it part of the team. the first step of attracting quality human resource is creating an attractive corporate brand. you have to understand that the best of human resource always has more than one career options at its disposal. getting the corporate brand name out is just like branding for any other product that you want to sell. only in this case, the customer you want to attract is someone who’d be providing you services, not money. if you have done a good job of getting your name out, quality professionals will automatically approach you when hunting for a job . while we are constantly working on ways to improve how we project a positive brand image for axact in our human resource market, i believe we already have much to be proud of in that regard. through an excellent projection of axact’ s unmatched growth, viable career opportunities and enviable lifestyle via various media outlets and insignia placement, we’ve managed to create a desirable human resource brand for axact. recently in a survey conducted by rozee.pk, pakistan’ s leading jobs portal, axact was identified as the most preferred non-consumer brand to work for in pakistan. so we make sure that if a qualified, dedicated professional is looking for a job opportunity, axact will be the first door he or she will knock on. next comes the task of identifying quality human resource. at axact, recruitment profiles are drawn on the basis of job descriptions, identifying what qualifications would someone need to have to deliver on that particular job description. the job descriptions themselves then are extracted from a systems analysis of department functions and roles, so that each job description is either a composite of or one of the roles needed to be filled. the department or domain functions in turn come from a systems analysis of each business unit, and the evaluation of strategies and tactics for that business unit based on the targets defined. the targets derive directly from axact’ s mission to be no. 1 in every market we enter . this way the position profiles derived relate directly to axact’ s mission. the profiles consist of qualification and experience requirements - these are used for initial screening of candidates - and personality traits that we feel would be needed to be successful at axact and to become a productive part of the team here. after initial screening, short listed candidates are run through a number of specially designed computerized tests. in some cases, these tests are used to identify the technical skills and gauge the presence of such traits as perseverance, intelligence, and sustained attention span in a candidate. after the tests, a third level of screening then involves one or more interviews where the candidate’ s leadership potential, desire to win, communication skills, integrity and other characteristics are evaluated. after the rigorous screening process, less than five percent of the candidates qualify for a job offer at axact. like i said, it’ s like sifting gold out from sediment in a flowing river . axact is now the no. 1 brand in the service sector in pakistan to work for . if you are a potential candidate and would like to work for axact and would like some practical advice on how to be successful at the admittedly daunting recruitment drill described above, i’d tell you to read carefully through our mission, values and action statements. more than listed qualifications, degrees and certificates, we are looking for people that embody those values; we are looking for winners, learners, process- and system-oriented, socially aware and conscientious individuals to work for axact. and if you are one of those, and if you can prove it, make no mistake, we will hire you. see that’ s the most interesting part of axact’ s recruitment philosophy. almost all organizations hire people to fulfill task based requirements. at axact we “value quality human resource”, and by that i mean if we find quality human resource we make it a part of the team whether there’ s an immediate requirement for it or not. this is a completely new paradigm in the philosophy of recruitment science, we’ve thought it up, we’ve implemented it and it’ s working out great for us! the recruitment ideology 2.0 thought corner axactian -
