Good news for job seekers! According to the latest Employment Outlook Report by Teamlease Services, hiring sentiment will improve incrementally over the next six months. The report states that six of the eighteen sectors surveyed have indicated positive hiring sentiments. Job seekers in financial services sector are likely to benefit the most from this, says the report. The other key sectors that will also experience positive hiring intent are Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPOs) and Health & Pharmaceuticals, the report adds. Yet another positive is the finding that mid-level hiring which had “taken a beating” in the previous half year makes a comeback.
