- Sales, accounting, and nursing are the most sought-after roles by recruiters in India.
- High demand is due to significant staff turnover and the expansion of industries.
- Telecaller and mechanic roles are also seeing increased recruitment activity.
A recent study by Indeed has highlighted a growing demand for sales, accounting, and nursing roles in India. Despite an 8 percent increase in unemployment, recruiters are actively searching for talent in these areas. Sales roles top the list, accounting for 10 percent of all resume searches in 2023, followed by accounting and nursing.
Callam Pickering, APAC senior economist at Indeed, notes that this urgency reflects the challenges recruiters face in filling these positions. Sales roles, in particular, are known for high stress and significant turnover, making recruitment difficult. Sashi Kumar, head of sales at Indeed India, points out that sales and accounting are essential across various industries, contributing to their high demand. Additionally, as India’s service sector grows, there is a rising need for telecallers and mechanics, highlighting the dynamic nature of the job market.
The report also shows that Indian nursing professionals are increasingly seeking opportunities abroad, adding to the local demand for nurses. With the expansion of the services industry, roles like telecaller and mechanic are also in high demand, offering cost-effective solutions for businesses to reach customers in a competitive market. Other in-demand roles include business development executive, registered nurse, electrician, graphic designer, and PHP developer, indicating a diverse range of opportunities in India’s job market.
