Tech hiring numbers have seen some improvements in March vis a vis January, but there are a number of issues that IT services companies are facing.
The mandate fulfilment or conversion rate in India's IT services sector has dropped to an all-time rate, marking a significant decline from pre-pandemic levels in FY20. While demand is rebounding, particularly for specialized fields like Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity, the hiring process has become more rigorous, leading to prolonged recruitment timelines. IT services hiring likely to stay muted till September.
The uptick in IT hiring comes after the macroeconomic slump in 2023 led to a massive headcount correction last year. However, experts caution that current requirements are only filling vacant roles not replaced over the past few quarters and that the numbers are still small.
