Non-IT roles also see pick up

Amidst the rise in the pace of vaccination, hiring across companies in India is limping back to normalcy. And it is not just the IT sector that is hiring; a pick-up is now being seen even in the non-IT space.

Hiring consultants told Moneycontrol that with the Covid-19 lockdown being eased across the country, sectors such as banking/financial services, automobile and hospitality are seeing a recovery.

Overall, there has been close to 20-25 percent growth in jobs since the second wave in April 2021. However, hiring experts also maintained that there is slight caution being exercised over fears of a Covid-19 resurgence.
