New Delhi: Online hiring activity in India jumped 32 per cent in July from a year ago, a sign that Indian businesses are getting confident of the economy, says a survey. The Monster.com's employment index, a monthly gauge of the country's online job demand, rose 50 points (up 32.46 per cent) to 204 in July this year, from 154 in the same period a year ago.
"The Monster Employment Index records the highest growth for 2015 with a 32 per cent increase in online job opportunities," Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, Monster.com (India, Middle-East, South-East Asia and Hong Kong) said. While the hiring momentum continues to pick up, the overall job market in India has witnessed more stability, especially in sectors such as BFSI, which registered a 73 per cent jump in hiring momentum in July followed by production and manufacturing (72 per cent) and automation.
A sectoral analysis shows that 20 of the 27 sectors tracked by the index saw traction in online space. On a month-on-month basis too, hiring momentum trended up. The reading for July is 2 points higher than June. According to the report, going forward, the strong hiring momentum is set to continue, thanks to an improving economy, government's initiatives including 'Make in India' and plans to create 100 smart cities.
Moreover, online demand improved in all the 13 occupation groups monitored by the index. There was an increase in demand for senior management personnel.
