Technology hiring consistently above pre-pandemic levels: Report

As digitisation has increased in the country due to the pandemic, a report has showed that hiring in technology roles between April 2020 and January 2021 was consistently above pre-COVID-19 levels, peaking in November 2020.

Job postings for technology-related positions in India rose 13 per cent in January from a year ago, according to a report by global job site Indeed.

While hiring in tech roles between April 2020 and January 2021 was consistently above pre-pandemic levels, peaking 17 per cent in November 2020, it added.

The report is based on data of job listings on Indeed platform from January 2020 till January 2021.

Indeed.com Managing Director Sashi Kumar noted, “With the pandemic necessitating ‘remote working’ and more technology-based business operations, organisations have had to ramp up their tech hiring to support this transition.”
