According to Hindustan Times, while India is unlikely to see a hiring slowdown in 2013, candidiates should be prepared to compromise on location.
Despite the deceleration in the broader economy, Indian companies are set to create more than million jobs across various industry segments, according to various studies. However, job hunting this year will be more about having the right skill-sets and choosing the right industry, said experts. According to job portal Shine.com, 2013 will be significantly better than the last two years. “The year may see at least 15-20% jump in hiring – both fresh and replacement hiring,” said Amit Garg, business head of HT Digital. Besides consumer products and retail, job opportunities are expected in consumer electronics, healthcare, hospitality and financial services. However, hiring in IT and software services are dependent on global business sentiments. “Till the scenario improves, there may not be massive growth-based hiring, but attrition-effected hiring,” said Garg.
