“The growth of the employment in organized sector was certainly affected by the downturn and diverted from its course of higher growth. However, revival of economy has brought back positive sentiments and the organised sector is back on hiring mode. Stable growth coupled with several positive policy measures by the Government has put the economy back on track and the industries have regained their confidence with higher output and profit levels. In addition to job generation and increase in salary levels, we also expect intra-sector movement of skilled workforce.” said Mr. K. Pandia Rajan, CEO, Ma Foi Randstad (India & Sri Lanka).
