Commenting on the report, Pawan Goyal, Chief Business Officer, Naukri.com said,
“The pandemic crisis has impacted Y-o-Y growth in hiring activities leading to 18% decline. The negative sentiment on hiring was visible in the JobSpeak index starting January’ 20, mirroring the economic trends. The hiring activity for the first 20 days of March’ 20 saw only a 5% decline. However, due to the nationwide lockdown, there was a substantial drop in recruitment activity in the last 10 days which resulted in an overall drop of 18% in hiring. Industries like Hotel, Travel, Aviation, and Retail have declined the most during the month. It is a great time for jobseekers to up-skill themselves by leveraging e-learning.”
