Here is some good news for those who are unhappy with their current job. According to a survey conducted by HR consultancy major Manpower, Indian companies are lining up robust hiring plans for the next quarter, beginning April 1.
The firm’s quarterly Employment Outlook Survey states that a dynamic pace of hiring is expected across the country between April and June.
Job seekers can expect the maximum opportunities in the services sector (59 per cent), followed by finance, insurance and real estate sectors.
The weakest job outlook has been reported by the employers in the public administration and education space (38 per cent).
“The outlook in the services sector is being fuelled by the IT industry’s highly optimistic hiring plans. Similarly, PSU banks are also expected to hire thousands to support expansion plans further boosting the sector’s outlook,” Manpower India managing director Sanjay Pandit said.
As per the survey, which covered 4,992 employers across India, the country’s net employment outlook – an indicator of recruitment intentions – rose to 44 per cent for the second quarter of 2012, up from 41 per cent in the first quarter.
Manpower Group India associate director Namr Kishore said that Indian employers are looking forward to the Government to boost the economy. “If the budget is progressive, one can expect the employment outlook further improving in the next quarter as well,” Kishore said.
