The mood of optimism all around has given rise to positive sentiment in the hiring market, with top companies such as the Tatas, Birlas, Reliance, and ITC planning to add more staff in the coming months. Most of the hirings are, however, in the entry or junior level, say HR managers.
While TCS, created a record of sorts by hiring 15,721 people in the December quarter, other group companies are not far behind.
Tata Projects, which recently bagged the prestigious Central Vista project, also plans to hire more people soon. Infosys, too, has announced it will hire 24,000 freshers from campuses this year. The Aditya Birla group is looking at fresh talent for its various verticals.
Hiring by Reliance Retail and Reliance Jio has picked up as well, with both getting ready to onboard people from the Future Group and other acquisitions, according to sources. Auto is another sector where hiring is set to rise.
