Naukri.com has revealed that most recruiters expect hiring to return to pre-covid levels in three to six months, while only 15% see it taking more than a year.
Just 15% of the 1,600 executives and recruiters surveyed confirmed layoffs; and about one-fifth admitted salary cuts at their organizations.What such surveys report and what actually happens need not display too strong a correlation.
Some businesses may have adopted a skeletal-staffing policy to get through the lockdown, and these might need fresh recruits just to operate at their usual pace.
