Staffing companies claim that beginning in July, the tech hiring market began to pick up steam after months of decline. The overall employment needs have increased by 10% in July compared to previous month, they claimed, indicating good news for the IT industry and a possible pick-up in demand in the upcoming quarter following a protracted slowdown.
However, the increase in headcount won’t be seen until the quarter from October to December. Companies with higher demand visibility are driving a rise in demand. Despite the improvement, the rate of recovery is still lower than expected and far below the demand peak projected in 2021.
The opinions of various renowned executive leaders have been welcomed in the circumstance. IT services are anticipated to open up somewhat in this quarter, according to Sunil C, CEO of TeamLease Digital. This is because employment has been put on hold for a while and utilization levels have reached a peak of more than 80–85%. He continued by saying that the third quarter of the fiscal year will show a rise in headcount due to the clients of IT services who raised their employment demands.
The demand for IT services has slowly increased over the last two to three months, however this recovery is still lagging, according to AR Ramesh, director of managed services and professional staffing at Adecco India. He thinks that after nearly 18 months of dwindling demand, there were optimistic signals of a rebound. Despite the fact that this recovery was projected earlier, they anticipate favorable hiring trends for the current quarter. The demand situation has significantly improved over the previous six months, with an overall growth rate of almost 30%. This expansion equates to an increase of almost 10% per month on average.
Headcount for IT services will most certainly stay flat, as it did in the January-March quarter, as a result of persistent macroeconomic challenges in the sector’s largest markets. Additionally, recruiting across global skill centers has increased as more global workload is being moved to India to take advantage of the larger number of talented workers that are present there.
