India, January 13, 2010: TeamLease Services Private Limited, India’s largest staffing company, today released its latest Employment Outlook Report for the period Jan – Mar 2010.

TeamLease releases the Employment Outlook Report every quarter after a survey administered to the HR heads, CEOs and Senior Management of leading companies in India. The study, which covered 501 companies in the latest round, focuses on the employment growth potential, the business outlook and hiring forecasts with relation to the location and the company profile. The report serves as a reference manual to corporate houses to understand the employment trend in the present market scenario at major cities across the country.

According to Rajesh AR, VP, TeamLease Services Pvt Ltd, “Hiring sentiments have marginally improved this quarter, in line with the Industry’s positive outlook. Our estimates show that there would be a leap of faith during this current quarter and trends will not just hold out, they will be bolder and result in higher employment gains. That said, employers are cautious and are placing stronger emphasis on skill-gap and employability. It must be noted that the intention to hire is still weak this time around. The jitters have been shaken off, however, and the numbers are now likely to ramp up steadily.
