Hiring activity in India had an 11% boost in Q2 2021 compared to the data from Q1, according to a report by Indeed’s ‘India Hiring Tracker’.
The latest report from the global jobs portal shows that the increase in hiring was led by the Information Technology (IT) sector with a recorded 61% quarter-on-quarter growth.
The financial services industry came second with a 48% increase while the BPO/ITeS industry climbed up to 47% sequentially.
Indeed India’s head of sales Sashi Kumar said that with the employment activity increasing every month, “it was interesting to see businesses pivot their hiring priorities from operation roles to sales roles.” Kumar added that this proves that “paying attention to employee expectations will enable them to thrive, so ongoing conversations around wellbeing and hybrid work are vital.”
