When polled for the report, 70% of talent indicated a positive outlook for job prospects in 2023, up from 61% in 2021 and 51% in 2020. Specifically, the sectors with the highest levels of optimism among talent were: - Consumer Goods, Retail & Hospitality (83%) - Industrial Manufacturing (81%) - Technology, Media and Telecommunications (77%) On the employer side, the survey found that 73% are optimistic about their industry. "With broad optimism, healthy hiring, and talent in search of ever-higher accomplishments, this year is shaping up to be a highly dynamic one for India's labor market," notes Sachin Kulshrestha, Managing Director of RGF Professional Recruitment India. "As the country continues on the path to recovery, employers and talent alike will increasingly need to find ways to meet halfway and manage expectations, and understanding talent's motivations, needs, and priorities is the best first step." Behind this positive outlook are several factors, including a sense of overcoming the pandemic, increased innovation, and advancements in technology. In addition, the survey found that employers are actively hiring -- 39% of employers are planning to increase hiring in the next 6-12 months -- not only to fill current needs, but also to scale up and innovate in the future. Among the minority of talent respondents that expressed pessimism for 2023, 69% cite negative global economic conditions as the main reason for this outlook. Post-pandemic shifts Talent appears to be highly active this year, with 63% of respondents actively seeking a new job, largely out of a desire for higher pay, greater career advancement opportunities, or improved work-life balance. However, the survey also found that 40% of respondents last changed jobs over three years ago, possibly due to the need for stability during the pandemic years. Among employers, a majority (62%) are actively recruiting, although this is down from 82% last year. In terms of work environment, the findings indicate that the hybrid work model is here to stay, with 69% of talent respondents stating they are most productive under a hybrid model, and 82% of employers viewing hybrid as the new norm.
