What's The Current Job Scenario In India?

by IV S. Consultant
The state of the job market definitely affects everyone, more so, if one is a fresher looking for campus recruitment assistance. While 2017 did see a dip in the job market, the forecast for this year is a good one. The job market will finally see an upswing, accordingly. There have been positive sentiments on the campus recruitment front. In such a scenario, students would need to know where they stand and how they can cope. The importance of a skills assessment test in such a scenario can’t be underlined enough. 

While some IT firms announced a freeze on hiring during some quarters of 2017, in this year, there are firms, many in the FinTech space, that are looking to hire. There is also a demand on the UI and UX engineering front as also artificial intelligence space. It is the year when automation and artificial intelligence will gain ground, and while certain skills may become redundant, certain others will become very important.

Keep track of what’s happening

Job seekers, freshers in particular, would do well to see what areas are in demand, and how they can align their skills with the sectors that will take off in a big way. For instance, there is a huge push given by the government to the renewable energy sector, and jobs in this sector will be hot! If you are a fresher keen on this sector, you should be able to seek campus recruitment assistance to help you find a placement in this industry. 

Seek help on an online portal

The Internet provides a wealth of knowledge and freshers should identify a portal or an app which is free and which will handhold them to the best jobs in the market. There is an app and a free portal that helps students and recruiters find common ground. Such an app helps students upload a video resume and also opt for a skills assessment test. The results, which are given in the form of a seven-digit score, will show them where they stand on various parameters, including soft skills and subject matter expertise. 

Cash in on improved hiring

Hiring has definitely improved and this trend will be seen through the year. Areas like data analytics, pharma, micro financing sector, and R&D will see an increase in hiring on the back of current demand. The current job scenario is on the cusp or threshold of some big changes, and freshers would take note and make hay! Freshers should be alert to changes, hone their skillsets and add a few new ones to their repertoire so they are ready when the jobs come calling.
