BENGALURU: The information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services (ITeS) sector will likely see a rise in hiring of contractual employees after demand gradually picks following the phased exit from the covid-19 lockdown beginning 1 June, according to staffing firms.
IT-ITeS companies typically hire contract workers to suit their project-oriented work. According to Indian Staffing Federation (ISF), around 12 of every 100 employees in the IT-ITeS sector is a contractual or flexi staff.
Hiring has been subdued at most IT majors since March as majority of their client bases in the US and Europe which were hit by covid-19.
