      The job market is picking up pace, and fresh talent is in demand. A new report reveals that 72% of employers are planning to hire freshers in the second half of this year.

      This marks a 4% increase from the first half of 2024 and a 7% jump compared to the same period in 2023. The findings of the TeamLease EdTech's 'Career Outlook Report’ signal steady improvement in employment opportunities.

      Leading the charge in hiring fresh talent are the e-commerce and technology start-ups, engineering and infrastructure, and retail sectors, all of which are showing strong intent to onboard freshers in the coming months.

      "The increase in hiring intent for freshers is an encouraging sign. It reflects growing confidence among employers and presents valuable opportunities for fresh talent entering the workforce," TeamLease EdTech founder and CEO Shantanu Rooj said.
