This was followed by the recruitment, staffing and RPO sector with 13.80 per cent, IT- software sector with 10.10 per cent, BPO-ITES with 7.30 per cent, e-commerce with 6.70 per cent and FMCG and F&B industry with 4.40 per cent growth.

“The amazing number of profile updation indicates a marked improvement in the job market as well, if we compare it with the situation that existed over the past quarters. Trends also testify the fact, how BFSI is leading as the most in-demand industry, followed closely by HR, IT and ITES, e-commerce and F&B. The pro-digitisation and automation endeavors of the government have added the much needed fillip to the banking sector,” said Dinesh Goel, CEO, Aasaanjobs.
