Decoding Hiring Trends in India 2015

Talent challenges in India are unique. While we are the econd largest and youngest workforce in the world (with a median age of 25); more talent does not mean employable talent. With 0.01% of the population being skilled and qualifying as employable; there is a visible dearth of requisite talent supply. The shrinking number of employable talent with required skill sets in India has led to the need for sourcing and selection mechanisms to be spot-on while addressing existing skill gap. Indian organizations are paying a premium for jobs due to the existing skill gaps while sourcing for niche skill sets.

The coming year will witness some key changes in how India Inc. attracts and retains talent. A shift from traditional approach of hiring is the need of the hour to leverage the large talent pool coming from diverse backgrounds.
