Conclusion
The highest demand for HR workforce lies in the recruitment sector. Attrition is a major challenge experienced by all companies and continuous recruitment has become a daily affair. Attrition is also high among the recruiters because they transit to non-HR professions like marketing and sales where relationship and conflict management skills are demanded, while the remaining transit to Training & Development or Administrative roles within HR. Our data indicates that HR profiles continue to be in high demand because it outweighs the supply.
