HY-I 2016 2


The Indian consumer durables/FMCG industry saw stable hiring trends during Jul-Dec 2015. In the first three months of the second half of 2015, the industry posted a 3 per cent rise. however, because of a sluggish market, talent demand started to drop from October. While July saw maximum rise of 8

per cent in demand, November reported highest drop (10%). With the 7th Pay Commission recommending an average 23.55 per cent hike in salaries and pensions, consumers will have additional $15 billion in their hands. The increased spending is expected to boost growth prospects of the sector. Consequently, manpower demand will also increase across key job roles with sales, engineering and logistics leading the pack. In the latter part of 2015, sales and related specialisations saw maximum demand. experienced professionals in quality assurance were also in demand. The industry is expected to grow 12 per cent in 2016 reaching $49 billion, says a Nielsen report. According to KPMG, the Goods and Services Tax is likely to bring the most significant changes in 2016.

DeMAND was huge across sales and its specialisations at entry level in the consumer durables/FMCG industry during the Jul-Dec 2015 period. Sales professionals not only grabbed maximum

share in jobs at entry level but also posted highest rise in demand. Production, manufacturing, maintenance specialists continued to report increased demand, similar to Jan-Jun 2015. Demand was also there in supply chain, logistics, quality control and purchasing/sourcing function. Like in the first half of 2015, hiring declined for IT/telecom and marketing profiles.

C ONTRARy to the trend in Jan-Jun 2015, talent demand surged across core and support function areas at the middle level in Jul-Dec 2015. These included sales, engineering, logistics, marketing

and IT. Quality control, front office roles and content writers also reported significant rise in demand at middle level in the consumer durables/FMCG sector. Similar to junior level, sales specialisations and production/manufacturing/maintenance roles saw huge demand for talent. hiring was also up for software engineers, purchasing/sourcing profiles, relationship management and material management verticals.

These locations claimed considerable job share and an average rise of over 30 per cent in demand.

Demand for data analysts, digital marketers and brand managers will be on the rise. Sales, marketing and

brand management roles will also be in demand. Soft skills will act as game-

changers since they are often found lacking by hiring managers.

recruitment game-changersThere will be a complete shift in the nature, process and skill requirement of the hiring process in 2016. More opportunities within the organisations will open up for younger people who demonstrate high performance and potential. Use of social networks has already become a favourite of recruiters. Moreover, emphasis will be laid on employee referrals, for this has become a tested method of hiring the right talent and also helps in engaging the employees. Apart from the knowledge and skill required for the job, employers will give more importance to people with the right attitude who will culturally align with the organisation. Also, the rehiring trend will pick up considering the many advantages it offers. The challenge largely is no longer about finding talent. It is about engaging them and building the kind of relationship needed to transform a passive job seeker into an active candidate.

in-demand skillsAt all experience levels and job roles, going beyond skills, we have started looking at

right behaviour. It is necessary to have right people with us who are right in attitude. There will always continue to be a demand for value creators, who are into marketing, sales and

research professions in the FMCG sector. There has always been a

demand for quality people in the packaging division. year 2016 will see a different approach to marketing, with digital marketing,

visual merchandising, advertisements and,

to a major extent, packaging picking up pace.

role of technology in HrTapping talent anywhere anytime will become a trend in hR. There is a huge demand on reducing the turnaround time in recruitment. Technology is going to enable and significantly reduce the time taken in the recruitment cycle by challenging traditional processes. Companies will adopt CRM for talent acquisition to run targeted campaigns, nurture leads and develop passive candidates. Interviewing will go virtual because even small, emerging companies will face the challenge of managing multiple teams spread across multiple locations and functions.

Emerging skillsets for freshersNew entrants must fundamentally have speed of execution, understand and anticipate shifts in consumer needs, have the ability to understand consumer behaviour, big data analytics, brand behaviour insights and interpretation, conceptualising and building significantly winning and differentiated products with commercial acumen.

Compensation trends in 2016A salary increment of an average 12 per cent can be expected, which can go up to 22 per cent for high performers. Marketing and packaging development will take a major pie. Thoughts are going around on the need to relook at the traditional appraisal system and replace it with the continuous evaluation process, thereby eliminating the need for the bell curve.

Salary meter (average range) n Junior: Rs 4 lakh per annumn Middle: Rs 15 lakh per annumn Senior: Rs 30 lakh per annum

Marketing, package development will be best paid profiles

Apart from the knowledge and skill required for the job, employers will give more importance to candidates with the right attitude and those who will culturally align with the organisation.”
