Amid IT firm layoffs, top tech talent in demand among non-tech companies

At a time when the information technology (IT) sector is witnessing a slowdown and mass layoffs globally, demand for tech talent from non-tech sectors is on the rise, according to a report published in The Economic Times (ET).

There is a demand for software experts in several manufacturing companies, including the automobile industry. Talent adept at software development is in demand for research and development centres across India.

Non-tech companies are taking steps to hire top talent from the IT sector in order to drive their organisations towards digitisation. Most of this demand is for employees holding experiences in their respective domains, the report said.
