Full-time remote job openings also grew to 3,000 in October from 2,000 in September, as more companies could be embracing work-from-home as a permanent feature.
Hiring momentum has further picked up pace in October with full-time jobs accounting for 95% of the placements. The number of applicants accepting jobs rose nearly 100,000 to hit 2.75 lakh, a sharp rise of 56% over September listings. At 1.05 lakh openings, the software sector made up for 38% of the active openings, data compiled by Bengaluru-based specialist staffing firm Xpheno, shows.
Interestingly, the contribution from the top five metros shrank to 34% from 51% in September. “With extended WFH models becoming a norm at many large enterprises, hiring is gradually shifting to non-metro regions and Tier 2 Towns and cities,” Kamal Karanth, co-founder, Xpheno, observed.
