A majority of recruiters expect hiring to go back to pre-pandemic levels, while jobseekers may see as much as 30% increments by the first half of this year, according to a survey by job-listing platform Naukri.com. Three out of five recruiters said in the survey that they expect hiring to rise back to pre-COVID levels in their organisations by June 2022. Fields such as Information Technology (IT), business development and marketing will see the most active hiring.
According to the Naukri Hiring Outlook Survey, the IT field will see 59% rise in hirings while business development and marketing will see a growth of nearly 40%. “Given the continued surge in demand for IT roles, recruiters expect this sector to witness a high employee fallout rate of 49%. It is interesting to note that the number of recruiters anticipating an attrition rate greater than 20% grew up by 33% when compared with the previous survey conducted last year,” according to the statement.
From the standpoint of experience, the majority of the employers surveyed by Naukri said they will hire jobseekers with an experience band of 3-5 years, followed by the candidates with an experience of 1-3 years.
Pandemic-led hybrid work model also found mention in the survey in which over 40% of recruiters said that work-from-home is equally productive as working in office
