Despite economic uncertainties, the hiring activity among startups has
significantly increased in April this year, while there has been a 6 per
cent decline in e-recruitment for white-collar compared to the same
period in 2022, a new report said on Tuesday.
According
to the report by foundit (previously Monster India & APAC), there
has been a 4 per cent monthly dip, indicating cautious hiring sentiments
among Indian recruiters.
Although some sectors like BFSI (+3 per
cent), Travel & Tourism (+2 per cent), and Import/Export (+13 per
cent) experienced a boost on a month-on-month (MOM) basis, other
sectors, such as Logistics, Home appliances, and Oil and gas, saw a
significant decline.
"Although hiring has declined, there are
still a plethora of job opportunities in emerging industries for job
seekers. Remarkably, the Indian startup ecosystem has taken a turn,
exhibiting resilience in hiring intent despite the prevailing job market
challenges," said Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit.
Moreover, the
report showed that the Retail (22 per cent), Travel & Tourism (19
per cent) are among the top industries exhibiting positive growth
year-on-year basis, while BFSI (-4 per cent) and BPO (-13 per cent)
sectors continue to be apprehensive.
The overall hiring demand
among startups has noted a strong 19 per cent (year-on-year) growth this
April 2023 compared to the previous year.
In addition, while
most cities showed an overall decline in hiring, startups in Bangalore,
Mumbai and Delhi hosted maximum demand for professionals.
However,
in the first quarter (Q1) of 2023, Indian startups raised a total of
$2.8 billion in funds, a massive 75 per cent decrease compared to the
same period in the previous year ($11.9 billion), as rising inflation
and interest rates continue to impact investments significantly amid a
deepening funding winter.
There were no new unicorns created in
the January-March period, compared with 14 unicorns in Q1 2022,
according to a recent report by Tracxn, a leading global market
intelligence platform.
