You don’t have to worry about the Donald Trump effect as a report suggests that the tech industry will hire 76% between December 2016 and March 2017 in India.
The survey by Experis IT stated the software development is in demand and people having a mix of complex and niche skills will be preferred the most.
Experis IT president Manmeet Singh told TOI, “Due to complex requirements in IT firms and startups, and emerging automation and artificial intelligence, there will be a need for constant upskilling and re-skilling among job-seekers. This would be particularly relevant as employers have reported difficulty in filling jobs because of talent shortage and gaps in skillsets.”
As per the Experis IT Employment Outlook Survey, south (34%) and west (20%) will have more hiring, followed by north (18%) and east (3%).
Singh said told TOI, “48% of employers surveyed in India reported difficulty in filling jobs, with IT professionals being in the top spot. So, to tide over the shortage in skilled IT talent, firms are increasingly hiring IT professionals on contract, as it's cost-effective, and improves flexibility and agility of companies.”
