Hiring activity will see a positive outlook: Survey

If the survey report of a recruitment firm is to be believed, hiring outlook in the country is expected to turn towards positive in this fiscal – 2019-20. The survey suggests that 58 per cent of employers have a positive outlook on hiring but at the same time 10 per cent of the employers which participated in the survey also think that layoffs are on cards. The junior level employees are expected to drive attrition more than the middle and senior levels. In this respect, the Western region of the country will lead over others. However, the Northern part of the country seems to be more positive than the other regions. The Northern Indian states were ready to offer more jobs than the rest of the country. The healthcare sector is expected to offer the maximum number of jobs (around 40 per cent) followed by marketing and human resources. Engineers continue to be the favorite in the job market followed by graduates and MBAs.
