E-commerce companies remained one of the top job
providers in 2014 and hiring by these sector expected to climb by 20-30 per
cent in next few years on the back of entry of domestic online start-ups and
e-commerce multinationals into India, analysts said.
Industry insiders say e-commerce companies are
offering around Rs 10 lakh to Rs 25 lakh annual compensation coupled with other
benefits that are way ahead of what jobs across other sectors offered.
Start-ups flocked to campuses to recruit double the number of fresh graduates
they did in 2013.
E-commerce becoming favorites among job seekers as fresher’s
as well as middle-level and senior managers joined companies like Flipkart,
Amazon, Olacabs and Zomato.
Job creation has been one of the key agendas of the
new government as one million youth enter our workforce every month. The year
2014 started on a sober note as businesses were uncertain about the future.
This reflected in their hiring, which stagnated and
even declined in some cases. The overall net employment between October 2013
and March 2014 declined by three per cent. Hiring for entry and junior levels
remained flat as companies were interested in engaging a more productive
workforce.
Also, a large number of recruiters started using
social media sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn extensively for hiring. The
year also saw a lot of start-ups with interesting recruitment models. This
varied from referral hiring platforms, social media management for hiring and
niche databases portals.
