The report said hiring in hospitality, retail and auto sectors has been the most impacted due to the COVID-19 lockdown

Mumbai: Hiring activities in June remained muted on a year-on-year basis, but registered an increase over the previous month amid nation-wide relaxations of coronavirus-induced lockdown norms, a report said on Wednesday.
According to  Naukri JobSpeak Index for the month of June stood at 1,208, registering an improvement of 33 per cent compared to May when it was at 910. However, on year-on-year basis, the hiring activity was still down by 44 per cent.

The Naukri JobSpeak is a monthly Index that calculates and records hiring activities based on the job listings on Naukri.com.

The report further said hiring in hospitality, retail and auto sectors has been the most impacted due to the COVID-19 lockdown and functional roles in education/teaching with 49 per cent growth, pharmaceuticals/biotech (36 per cent) and sales/business development (33 per cent) saw an uptick in month-on-month hiring.

Hiring across experience levels also grew by an average of 28 per cent in June compared to May led by the entry-level executives' band (0-3 years experience).
