Hiring trends are rebounding with employers ramping up their workforce with skilled personnel
India is bouncing back from the macroeconomic aftermath of the first and second waves of COVID-19. Economic, industrial, and fiscal indicators point to an impending growth trajectory that is expected to translate into a greater hiring intent by employers. Additional factors accelerating this trend are the inoculation rate in the country that has ushered hybrid working models, encouraging professionals to resume work. Both the industrial as well as the service sector is expecting more business in association with the festive season ahead. Performance-linked schemes by the government to spur business as usual are advancing to fruition and helping multiply jobs.
As per a ManpowerGroup Survey, Indian employers are reporting a 44% Net Employment outlook, which is the highest in the last 7 years. The sample size of 3,046 employers is working towards upsizing organizational headcount by the year-end. Moreover, a report by the Naukri Job Index recorded hiring activity in August 2021, to be 24% higher than that of August 2019. Information technology was the spearhead sector in this vein, with 79% more hiring than in 2019. With multiple positive drivers working in unison, job seekers have their tasks cut out for upskilling.
