There is optimism in the economic scenario across all sectors. In the services sector, healthcare and hospitality are seen to add the maximum number of jobs, the survey says.
The survey was conducted among 650 companies across 13 industry segments in eight Indian cities.
The top management and senior HR personnel at these companies were queried on their hiring intentions in the present quarter as compared with the previous quarter and their views for the whole year.
The survey shows 4,18,564 jobs were created between January and June 2010 with 1.21 lakh jobs in healthcare and 63,000 jobs in hospitality. The top five sectors leading the boom are healthcare, hospitality, real estate and construction, IT and ITeS, and education, training and consulting.

Mr Ben Noteboom, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board, Randstad Holding, said, “We see positive trends across many economies such as US, Germany, France, Asia Pacific and parts of Europe which are clearly growing. I expect India to continue its economic growth and employment generation fuelled by its domestic consumption and stabilising global economy.”
