Almost 83 per cent of senior professionals, who took part in a poll on the job market, have expressed confidence in hiring numbers.

In a study conducted by Headhonchos.com, a job search portal for senior professionals, only 17 per cent of the respondents felt that the economic scenario would continue to be bleak. About 44 per cent expected the job market to go through some fluctuations, but did not have a pessimistic outlook.

Mr Uday Sodhi, CEO, Headhonchos.com, said that the findings of the poll are an important determinant of hiring in the crucial mid-management and senior-levels in an organisation.

“A positive feedback points towards employee readiness to make a job change. This is in contrast to the mindset during economic slowdowns, when employees play safe and prefer not to shift from their present job.”
