Of the cities surveyed, Mumbai will contribute the maximum towards the number of jobs (1.66 lakh) followed by Delhi (1.55 lakh), Bangalore (1.52 lakh) and Hyderabad (96,000). Out of the 14 cities surveyed, the outlook has improved in four cities and fallen in four.

Rituparna Chakraborty, co-founder & executive vice president, TeamLease Services, says, “Tier 3 cities have also shown improvement in the employment outlook. This is a testament that new avenues and job markets are opening up across India and therefore many opportunities will follow in the next half year. “

This report offers an overview of the hiring and job growth trends for the period October 2018 – March 2019. It also forecasts a reduction of three per cent in the net employment outlook to 92 per cent, from October 2018 – March 2019, as compared to 95 per cent for the preceding half-year, April – September 2018. Despite the continued and significant growth in GDP, the job market for the forthcoming half year is expected to witness a slight drop in hiring.

Across hierarchy, mid-level hiring has increased by three per cent, while there is a five per cent drop in entry-level hiring. Junior-level hiring has also fallen by three per cent whereas senior-level hiring has dropped by four per cent. Medium-sized businesses will bear the brunt of the prevailing sentiment with a three per cent drop, while small and large businesses will report a one per cent increase in hiring, respectively.

“The hiring of fresh graduates across sectors and cities is likely to be nearly 16.3% of all net new jobs created during the April-September, 2018-19 half year. These factors will definitely boost the confidence of the job seekers even though there is a minor plunge in the outlook,” Chakraborty says.

The attrition rates are significantly higher for educational services, media & entertainment, retail and telecommunication. FMCG sector in Mumbai will create 15,500 jobs of which 14,200 will be net new job creation and 13300 jobs will be created to compensate for attrition. It also estimates the new job creation for fresh graduates: FMCG sector will create 3980 new jobs in Mumbai.
