Hiring prospect look strong in India: Manpower

According to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, job seekers in India are likely to benefit from a active labour market as India’s employers expect to hire at a pace seen prior to the global recession. With a net employment outlook of +42%, Indian employers report the most optimistic forecast among all 36 countries and territories participating in the Manpower survey.

India’s Outlook improves by 2 percentage points quarter-over-quarter, and improves by 19 percentage points when compared to Q3 2009. Job seekers in the Mining & Construction sector (+46%) and the Manufacturing Sector (+44%) can look forward to the most favourable hiring environment in the next three months of the year. Meanwhile, the weakest – but still strong – hiring pace is reported by Transportation & Utilities (+24%) sector employers.

“The job market has recovered sharply from the weaker forecasts of early 2009. We are witnessing a notable exuberance in hiring sentiments across all industry sectors, cities and functional areas.” said Sanjay Pandit, Managing Director of Manpower India.
