New Delhi, Jun 22, 2011: Riding the revival of Indian and global economy, the hiring of IT personnel is gaining momentum even in sectors that are outside the domain of IT and

requirements in other industries in present quarter (Q1FY12) as against last year and their intent of recruitment for their entire year.

The survey was conducted across eight industry segments (except IT and ITeS) in seven cities.

The following is the share of different segments in total hiring: banking and financial services (26% share), followed by FMCG (15%), telecom (16%), retail (14%), manufacturing
