NEW DELHI: Globally, Indian employers are the most upbeat on hiring plans in the fourth quarter ending December 2015, according to the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey. Sectors like wholesale, retail, utilities — mainly logistics — and transportation are likely to hire aggressively in the next quarter.
Over 41 per cent of employers in India are looking at increasing hiring numbers for the fourth quarter as compared to the quarter ending September. Around 5,000 employers were covered as part of the survey in India. Around 45 per cent and 44 per cent of employers in the wholesale & retail sector (including ecommerce) and the transportation & utilities sector, respectively, are looking at increased hiring in the next quarter over the previous one. From a regional perspective, around 42 per cent employers in the eastern region anticipate the most opportunities for job seekers in the months ahead.
"There is a big opportunity for ecommerce sectors to add more jobs to the labour market. With the onset of the festival season, there is a renewed focus on employing additional staff to boost businesses and greater hiring is expected across all domains," said AG Rao, group managing director at ManpowerGroup India.
In view of the positive outlook for the economy, ecommerce firms are ramping up their workforce across functions, particularly engineers and other specialists with an intention to be technology, product and engineering-driven companies, added Rao.
Shopclues.com, for instance, is planning to add 1,200 employees to its team of 800 while Snapdeal is looking at doubling its headcount of 5,000 by FY16. "We have robust hiring plans in place for the coming months. Most ecommerce companies at this stage are busy ramping up their teams," said ShopClues cofounder, Sanjay Sethi.
