Despite global uncertainty, sectors like professional services, manufacturing, and banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) witnessed a hiring growth in January-May this year, reports The Economic Times, citing a study by Quess.

????The professional services sector doubled its headcount as more companies are looking to expedite business operations, especially in areas like taxation, consulting, risk advisory, deal advisory, technology services, and ESG services.

????An uptick in sales for Indian products led to a 50% growth in workforce in the manufacturing industry.

????The BFSI sector witnessed a 16% increase in headcount thanks to enhanced credit conditions for borrowers and strengthened solvency.

The increase in headcount proves that Indian businesses are holding steady and looking to tide over the global economic storm, says Naozer Dalal, CEO, Allsec Technologies.
