Naukri Hiring Outlook Survey Reveals Upswing In Hiring Activity In 2014

BANGALORE: Buoyancy in hiring activity was the sentiment that emerged from the Naukri Hiring Outlook survey 2014 – a half yearly survey which gauges the hiring sentiments of companies and covers a plethora of sectors. The survey was conducted amongst 800 plus recruiters. Approximately 64 percent of the recruiters who were surveyed indicated the creation of new jobs this year. This represents a more positive outlook in comparison to July 2013 when only 54 percent recruiters signaled the creation of new jobs. In contrast, replacement hiring is likely to contribute less to the overall hiring with only 30 percent recruiters expected to engage in it in 2014 versus 54 percent recruiters who anticipated the need for replacement hiring in second half of 2013. Layoffs too, are also expected to decrease with only 2 percent recruiters anticipating them in first half of 2014 as compared to 5 percent recruiters who suspected layoffs in the second half of 2013.
