India Inc’s hiring activity grew by 21 per cent in June this year compared to the year-ago period, led by the improving business sentiment, job portal naukri.com said in a report.

Naukri.com’s monthly job index — JobSpeak — moved up to 947 in June this year compared to 784 in the same month of 2009
Hiring activity in June also showed an improvement over the previous month as well, with the job index increasing by four per cent in June from 913 in May, the study revealed.
“Companies are actively hiring now and have shed their “wait-and watch” policy. The hiring growth in June is secular in nature, with a balanced rise seen across all sectors and cities,” Info Edge (owner of naukri.com) COO and director Hitesh Oberoi said.
Hiring has been bullish in the first six months of this year, with 22 per cent more recruitment seen in the January-June period of 2010 compared to the same period last year.
“The first half of 2010 has been very encouraging, as most of the key industry sectors have been able to move out of the slowdown phase and are heading towards recovery,” Mr Oberoi added.
The IT-enabled service (ITES) sector has been bullish on hiring, with the sector registering a growth of 25 per cent in the job index for June compared to May this year. — PTI
