E-commerce and tech startups are likely to dominate hiring landscape in the coming months as the sector is likely to witness a 23.6 per cent growth in jobs during April-September, says a report. According to the Team-Lease Employment Outl-ook Report, the increase in consumer spending and the renewed focus on market expansion will have a positive impact on hiring. However, manufacturing and engineering and infrastructure seem to be bearing the brunt of negative sentiment created by the slow prog-ress of Make in India initiative. On the functional front, sales, IT and blue collar profiles will benefit substantially from the net positive sentiment. The rush to acquire driving and delivery skills seems to be boosting the demand for blue collar jobs. “Make in India initiative which was the critical driver of employment sentiment over the past couple of half years seems to be losing its sheen. In fact, the job market is maturing and giving way to business growth leading hiring,” TeamLease Services senior V-P Kunal Sen said.a. Source: The Asian Age
