Hiring action in India’s tech sector continues to remain buoyant, undeterred by the steep climb of the third Covid-19 wave.
In the first week of 2022, the sector put out more than 70,000 active job openings, according to data from LinkedIn put together for ET by specialist staffing firm Xpheno. This is despite the first few days after holidays being typically a slow period when most companies restart action. If the current hiring action is sustained into the rest of January, the number of open job positions is likely to cross December’s figure of 253,000, thus making it the strongest in over two years, according to Xpheno estimates.
