ndia's job market has had a few rough quarters as hiring activity has slumped and there have been reports of layoffs by major IT companies at the start of the year. However, job seekers can expect better opportunities in the coming months, according to the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey for October-December quarter. The international HR consultancy group said that 24 per cent of the 5,005 employers surveyed forecast an increase in staffing levels. While hiring prospects showed an improvement of 4 per cent compared to the July-September quarter, the pace would remain slower as compared to the same period last year.
