Types of Companies Hiring Freshers Right Now

Companies hiring freshers in 2026 fall into four buckets – apply across at least two to maximise offer chances.

Product & Global Tech Companies

The biggest names among companies hiring freshers this week: Amazon is hiring Associates for ML Data Operations fully work from home, Oracle has a Support Engineer role for 0–2 years in Bengaluru, Qualcomm is running its 2026 campus hire for Associate Hardware Engineers, Applied Materials wants an SDET in Chennai, ZoomInfo has a Software Engineer I opening for Salesforce Support in Bengaluru and Citi is hiring Business Analytics Analysts and Big Data Engineers in Mumbai and Pune.

Infosys EdgeVerve’s Systems Engineer-EV drive across five cities, Accenture’s AI/ML Computational Science Associate and Quality Auditing New Associate openings, GE HealthCare’s Graduate Engineer Trainee role in Bengaluru and Electronic Arts’ seven paid internships in Hyderabad are this week’s volume plays among companies hiring freshers – broad eligibility and steady growth paths for 2024–2026 batches.
