Online hiring activity grew 17 per cent in June on year, registering the sixth straight month of expansion, according to a survey by job portal Monster.com.
The Monster.com employment index rose 22 points to 153 in June from 123 points in the same month a year ago - a 17 per cent increase. The index registered a 2 point rise on month-on-month basis.
The business-friendly and stable government has brought in a new ray of hope across sectors and strong hiring activity last month, the survey said.
"Increased thrust on reviving economic growth, boosting the manufacturing sector and creating more employment has led to growth in India's business confidence," Monster.com (India/Middle-East/Hong Kong/South East Asia) managing director Sanjay Modi said.
On a year-on-year basis, online recruitment activity improved in 26 industry sectors out of 27 being monitored.
There was an incredible upsurge in online recruitment in the NGO/social services sector with a remarkable 44 per cent growth on year.
The home appliances sector is emerging closely followed by the media/entertainment sector. Meanwhile, online demand expanded in all 13 occupational groups being monitored by the index.
There continues to be a greater demand for senior management professionals. The group saw a 51 per cent growth in demand between June 2013 and 2014.
A city-wise analysis showed that online opportunities improved in 12 of the 13 cities being monitored by the index. Bangalore (up 34 per cent) continued to lead all monitored cities by the way of long-term growth for the 6th month in succession.
Mumbai ranked among the top five registering a 24 per cent growth on year. Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, and Chennai recorded 22 per cent, 16 per cent and 17 per cent growth, respectively.
