Kolkata/IBNS: Tech-based jobs requiring skills in Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and customer support appear to be in demand in the current situation, according to Indeed, an Indian job site.

Indeed recently conducted its week-long hiring initiative, “Top Jobs in India” with participant companies from domains such as Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Financial Services, Healthcare, Retail, Technology, and others.

The job site received more than 45,000 registrations during the period.

The week-long event hosted speakers from the participating companies, who spoke about their organizational culture, the roles that they were actively hiring for, changes in the recruitment process due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the skill-sets they sought in potential employees.

Sashi Kumar, Managing Director, Indeed.com, said, “The Covid-19 pandemic caused a serious disruption in the job market. While our data indicates improvement in hiring activity as lockdown restrictions eased across the country, there are large numbers of worthy candidates waiting for job opportunities.”

Kavita Kurup, Global Head - Talent & Organizational Transformation at UST Global, said, “As our business adjusted to the new reality after the pandemic, we are seeing an uptick in growth and opportunities at various levels in the company. The hiring week by Indeed allowed us to interact with some great talent across the country.”

According to a release by Indeed, overall hiring in India is gradually increasing across industries.

Although hiring in India was down by 21 percent towards the end of October 2020 as compared to 2019, it was still an improvement from the middle of June 2020, when hiring was down by 51 percent from 2019 levels, the release said.
