Good news for job seekers. According to a recent survey, Indian
employers have strongest hiring plans compared to their global peers for
the October-December quarter of this year.
According to PTI, the
Manpower Employment Outlook Survey says Indian employers anticipate a
"vigorous" hiring pace for the next three months with as many as 46 per
cent employers planning to increase their staff strength.
Globally,
the fourth quarter hiring confidence is strongest in India, Taiwan and
New Zealand, while the weakest forecasts are in Spain, Italy, Ireland,
the Czech Republic and Finland.
"India's employers expect the
optimism of a stable government to have an encouraging impact on the
job market. Employers are back in hiring mode and we're seeing evidence
of their renewed optimism across all industry sectors and all regions,"
Manpower Group India Group Managing Director A.G. Rao said.
Various
initiatives on reinforcing business efforts which the government is
undertaking - such as stabilising the rupee, granting permission for new
projects and encouraging the use of automation and technology in the
government sector - are expected to boost the job market, the report
said. "Amidst speculations and apprehensions, job-seekers are hoping for
burgeoning employment opportunities across sectors," Rao said.
A
sector-wise analysis shows that the most optimistic hiring plans are
reported by employers in the services and mining and construction
sectors, where net employment outlooks stood at 49 per cent and 47 per
cent respectively, said the survey that covered 5,287 employers across
India.
From a regional perspective, employers in the southern and
western regions anticipate the most opportunities for job seekers in
the months ahead, reporting net employment outlooks of 54 per cent and
49 per cent respectively.
