The hiring in the insurance sector grew by more that 45% in December, as Indians felt the need for securing their health and businesses in the post-Covid era. The auto and ancillary sector (33 per cent) continued to register <keyword id="42546" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Growth">growth</keyword> in sequential hiring with increased consumer demand during the year-end period. Other key sectors such as BFSI (+18%), Pharma/Biotech (+28%), FMCG (+21%) and IT-Software (+11%) too have shown positive growth in hiring. "Key sectors like hospitality, travel, auto and retail are still bouncing back, and the sequential numbers reassure us of robust recoveries in 2021," said Pawan Goyal, Chief Business Officer, Naukri.com. "As we look forward to a brighter year ahead, the overall hiring sets in the right direction for the closing month." Within metros, Pune and Delhi led the sequential recovery at more than 18% and 16% increase in hiring, respectively, followed by Kolkata (+14%) and Mumbai (+10%). Coimbatore saw the highest hiring growth of +30% among Tier-2 cities, followed by Ahmedabad at +20% and Jaipur at +15% in December. In fact, hiring of professionals in the hotels/restaurants domain also saw an uptick of 13% sequentially, indicating the revival of the sector. Hiring activity in the month of December declined by 10% vs the last year, the findings showed. While Bengaluru (-1%), Pune (-2%), and Hyderabad (-5%) were less impacted given the growing demand for IT professionals in the virtually connected world, cities such as Mumbai (-25%) and Delhi (-18%) saw a decline in hiring activity in December as compared to the same month last year.

The government on Thursday said it expects 5G services to be rolled out in the country by October 12, and the Centre will make sure that the prices are affordable for the consumers. Union IT minister <keyword id="7796574" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ashwini-vaishnaw" source="Orion">Ashwini Vaishnaw</keyword> said that installations are being done and telecom operations are busy with the seamless rollout of 5G services. The government will ensure that the 5G plans remain affordable for the public, the minister said. The government also introduced the "The Indian Telegraph Right of Way (Amendment) Rules, 2022" along with the launch of the 5G right of work (RoW) application Form on the GatiShakti Sanchar Portal. The Indian Telegraph Right of Way (Amendment) Rules, 2022 will help the industry in faster proliferation of digital infrastructure, deployment of small cells, aerial fibre, and street furniture. There is a provision for small cells, electric poles, access to street furniture, etc. introduced for the easy and smooth deployment of 5G networks. The 5G services would be rolled out in a phased manner and during the first phase, 13 cities will get the 5G internet services. The cities are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi, Gandhinagar, <keyword id="11900977" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="gurugram" source="Orion">Gurugram</keyword>, Hyderabad, Jamnagar, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mumbai and Pune. Just like 3G and 4G, telcos will soon announce dedicated 5G tariff plans and according to industry experts, consumers may pay more to access the 5G services on their devices. <keyword id="6354504" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="reliance-jio" source="Orion">Reliance Jio</keyword>, Airtel and Vodafone Idea are currently tight-lipped, deliberating internally whether to opt for a substantial or a modest price hike for the end users, along with discussions on providing lucrative data bundling offers with smartphone makers when 5G roll out takes a better shape, according to sources. However, the tariff plans will come down as usage increases, and more people embrace 5G networks especially in Metros where the initial demand will come. An immediate tariff war with the launch of 5G is unlikely, but it "will be competitive as India continues to be a price-conscious market". A recent report by <keyword id="6354527" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="nomura" source="Orion">Nomura</keyword> Global Markets Research estimated that telecom service providers would have two options -- either a modest 4 per cent incremental tariff hike on their overall subscriber base or a 30 per cent premium over 1.5 GB per day 4G plans. "Historically, Indian telecom companies have refrained from charging a premium for 4G plans (vs 2G/3G data plans). With potentially higher speed on offer and likely initial uptake from premium customers (smartphones above Rs 15,000), there is a potential for telecom companies to charge a premium for 5G (vs 4G), in our view," Nomura said in its report."5G tariff plans would be a key monitorable in the near term, and 5G premium (vs 4G) may provide the next leg of ARPU (average revenue per unit) uptick for the telecom companies," it added. Another report by Goldman Sachs Equity Research mentioned that 5G rollouts have not resulted in any "meaningful uptick in capex for telecom companies globally, and it foresees a similar trend in India". Airtel CTO Randeep Sekhon said recently in reports that globally, there's not a major difference between 5G and 4G tariffs. "We expect 5G plans in India to be similar to 4G tariffs," he had said.

As the <keyword id="490344" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="holiday-season" source="Orion">holiday season</keyword> has kicked in, the travel and hospitality sector is witnessing a 357 per cent growth in hiring sentiment, breaking the shackles of the pandemic waves last year, according to a report released on Friday. India showed promising signs of economic recovery in May 2022 with hiring across key sectors witnessing an upward year-on-year trajectory and a stable sequential trend. According to the latest Naukri JobSpeak May '22 Index, the surge in hiring activity stays put as it records over 40 per cent y-o-y growth in May. Retail (+175 per cent), real estate (+141 per cent) and insurance (+126 per cent) were among the top sectors that witnessed a significant y-o-y growth in May 2022. Other key sectors that saw an uptick in hiring trends as compared to last year are BFSI (+104 per cent), education (+86 per cent), auto (+69 per cent), oil and gas (+69 per cent), FMCG (+51 per cent) and IT-software/software services (+7 per cent). The demand for talent in metros and non-metros remained steady as all cities indicated a double-digit y-o-y growth in May 2022. Amongst metros, Delhi (63 per cent) registered the highest y-o-y growth closely followed by Mumbai (+61 per cent). <keyword id="6354925" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="kolkata" source="Orion">Kolkata</keyword> (+59 per cent), <keyword id="12864" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="chennai" source="Orion">Chennai</keyword> (+35 per cent), <keyword id="2094" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="pune" source="Orion">Pune</keyword> (+27 per cent), and <keyword id="6354552" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="hyderabad" source="Orion">Hyderabad</keyword> (+23 per cent) also showed positive y-o-y growth. An optimistic hiring sentiment was observed across all tier-II cities with Jaipur leading the y-o-y growth in demand for talent at (+76 per cent). Other emerging cities such as Coimbatore (+64 per cent), Vadodara (+49 per cent), Cochin (+35 per cent), <keyword id="5065" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ahmedabad" source="Orion">Ahmedabad</keyword> (+26 per cent), and <keyword id="6360078" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="chandigarh" source="Orion">Chandigarh</keyword> (+25 per cent) showed double digit y-o-y growth. Further, across all experience levels, the demand for entry-level talent (0-3 years) exhibited the steepest rise of +61 per cent in May 2022 vs May 2021. Moreover, a positive hiring sentiment was observed for other experience brackets such as 4-7 years (+37 per cent), over 16 years (+27 per cent), 13-16 years (+26 per cent) and 8-12 years (+22 per cent). "The recruitment landscape continues to stay resilient and is sustaining the momentum 2022 ushered in. The job market has shown stable sequential trends that are substantially ahead of last year's baselines. The secular nature of trends; cutting across metros as well as non-metros, experienced professionals as well as freshers is again a good indicator of this strong hiring sentiment," said Pawan Goyal, Chief Business Officer, Naukri.com, in a statement.

It remains resilient and maintains its status as the top choice (18%) for employees in Q2 2023. This robust demand can be attributed to the sector's continuous evolution, which opens up new opportunities for skilled professionals. Following closely are production/manufacturing (17%), sales (15%), and marketing (13%) as other preferred areas of work. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Employers looking for employees with soft skills" comment="subhead" text="Employers looking for employees with soft skills">Employers looking for employees with soft skills</cmsannotation> Both employees and employers are emphasising the need for specific skill sets. Both groups have observed a growing demand for these skills. Alongside technical expertise, employers are increasingly valuing soft skills like communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These skills are crucial for employees to thrive in the modern dynamic and ever-changing workplace. Says Sashi Kumar, Head of Sales, Indeed India, “The IT sector remains strong, and there is a clear demand for specific skill sets.

This has resulted in heightened competition for employment opportunities and increased financial uncertainty for job seekers. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Job market tough for recent graduates" comment="subhead" text="Job market tough for recent graduates">Job market tough for recent graduates</cmsannotation> Most employers (71%) consider the current white-collar job market tough for recent graduates, with limited opportunities as a major concern. Key challenges include a scarcity of job openings (41%) and changing skill requirements (11%). Nevertheless, there's a 5% rise in employers (28%) hiring recent graduates compared to the previous quarter, hinting at a potential positive trend ahead. It's worth noting that the job market landscape isn't uniform across India. Opportunities vary by region, and the specific skills in demand also differ. Major metropolitan areas like Kolkata (50%), Chennai (46%), and Delhi/NCR (45%) are facing shortages in job openings for fresh graduates. In contrast, non-metro cities and emerging tech hubs like Hyderabad (37%) and Pune (39%) are witnessing a high demand for recent graduates. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Going ahead…" comment="subhead" text="Going ahead…">Going ahead…</cmsannotation> The white-collar job market in India presents a mixed outlook for the near future. Key trends include a growing demand for tech-related skills, increased discussions about the future of work (such as hybrid models and remote vs. office work), and a strong emphasis on continuous learning. To succeed in this evolving landscape, job seekers should focus on enhancing their technical skills, embrace remote work opportunities, and commit to ongoing self-improvement.
