Hiring sentiment in sales hit due to slowdown in mobile shipments: Report

Hiring sentiment in the mobile phone sector where sales roles are important, is bearing the brunt of the slowdown in handset shipment, reported Economic Times (ET).

While exports have helped in balancing the impact of a domestic slowdown on production and manufacturing, local sales promoters’ profiles are now seeing indirect attrition as organisations aren’t immediately replacing individuals who are leaving these roles, said the report.

Citing industry experts, ET added that while there are no job cuts yet, it could be a possibility, given the shipments do not pick up.
