As economic activities continue to surge, the job market is witnessing recovery across several sectors that were impacted by the pandemic, showcasing the highest growth in the month of April, reports the Monster Employment Index (MEI). India has registered an overall growth of 15 per cent year-on-year and 4 per cent month-on-month in hiring demand as a result of increased positive business sentiment, it added.

As per the survey, while, leadership roles with experience of more than 16 year exhibited steepest growth of 29 per cent amongst all experience levels, inter-mediate and mid senior level roles showed growth of 24 per cent and 22 per cent respectively.

In fact, real estate, which exhibited a continuous dip in year-on-year hiring demand since April 19, saw a recovery of 26 per cent on the back of improved consumer sentiments who are now enthused by an upward looking market, it added.
