Painting a robust hiring scenario in the country, two separate surveys by global staffing firm Manpower and job portal Naukri.com showed that employers are planning to hire at a robust pace this year.
Manpower's Employment
Outlook Survey said that globally, India is the most
optimistic in terms of recruitment intentions for the fourth quarter, after China and Taiwan.
Naukri.com, in its latest Hiring Outlook Survey, said a positive outlook for the second half this year, with 73 per cent of the more than 700 employers interviewed predicting the addition of new jobs.
About 55 per cent of the respondents expected replacement hiring, 3 per cent expected a freeze and 2 per cent anticipate layoffs, the naukri survey said. In July 2009, only 45 per cent of the recruiters anticipated new jobs.
