In the Information Technology job market, “things are picking up” say recruitment firms.
Some companies have planned recruitment drives-the first in many months.
There is demand for people in senior positions and also for those with three to five years of experience.
The hiring may not essentially be customer driven but more to do with the fact that companies had not been hiring for almost a year.
Captive set-ups were also hiring. As more work was being transitioned from the U.S. or other locations to cut costs, captives were gaining more business.
In the face of cyclical changes, such as the economic downturn, and long-term changes, such as globalization and consolidation of industries, customers required technological solutions.
The demand for good talent continues to persist even in the toughest of market conditions.
