Hiring in airlines and hotels in July nearly doubles over a year, finds Naukri.com

Among sectors, hotels, restaurants and airlines registered a 95 percent YoY jump in hiring followed by the insurance space which hired 65 percent more people last month compared to July 2021, according to the report.

This comes at a time when travel is gradually returning to pre-pandemic levels or even better and companies are looking at improved business.

For instance, ITC earlier this week said, its occupancy at its hotels for the April to June 2022 quarter rose past pre-COVID-19 levels and revenue from the hotel business jumped over four-fold YoY to Rs 5,80.71 crore. Lemon Tree Hotels too posted that its occupancy was at 65.1 percent for the June 2022 ended quarter and versus 29.6 percent in the same quarter last year.

Meanwhile, Nauki.com’s report suggests hiring momentum is also gaining in the airline industry.

This, at a time when Akasa Air backed by billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is hiring for various positions and Jet Airways too, is recruiting for multiple positions as it is set to resume operations from September.

According to Naukri.com’s Naukri JobSpeak Index, the job market continues to reflect optimistic hiring patterns across all experience brackets. The demand for top management (>16 years) and professionals with 13-16 years' experience saw the steepest uptick of 32 percent and 31 percent respectively in July’22 versus July’21.

It also said a positive hiring sentiment was also observed for other experience brackets such as 0-3 years (+20 percent), 4-7 years (+18 percent), and 8-12 years (+24 percent) when compared with July’21.
