- June 2025 opens with a Tech Jobs outlook for 112K active openings in the tech talent market
in India. - Overall, Tech Sector’s collective demand has rolled back to a sluggish trend, after a brief rise
earlier in 2025. The current volume of active openings puts the Tech Sector’s contribution to
India’s total active talent demand at 48%. Non-tech sector collective continues to hold the
majority contributor status, it took over from the Tech sector in October 2022. It is important to note
that the Tech Sector dominated 80%+ of the total demand in the boom years for talent action. - June’s outlook is a minor 2.0% drop over openings in May 2025. The overall dip in hiring action
continues with June 2025’s outlook being less than 2024’s volume by 3.5%. - The tech openings for June 2025 have a 41% freshness index, with 2/5 th of all openings being
published or refreshed in the last 2 weeks period. In comparison, the month of May 2025 had a
45% freshness index and same period last year had a 47% freshness of postings. The MoM drop
in freshness of postings is attributed to slower hiring velocity and lower net demand additions. - Full-time openings at 90K account for over 80% of total openings and have grown by 6%
compared to May 2025. While overall demand remains low-to-moderate in the tech sector, the ask
for full-time engagement of talent remains high. Other types of engagement like contract, part-time
and internships remain low overall with a YoY drop of 25% and above. - Mid-Senior openings account for 54% of all active openings and have registered a significant
17% growth in volume compared to the previous month. Opportunities for entry-level tech talent up
to 2 years of experience show a 4% MoM growth with 18K active volume. - Demand from the IT Services cohort, as the key talent consumer, remains sluggish with a
total active volume of 52K openings, with a marginal 1.5% growth over the previous month. On a
YoY basis, the current demand is at the same level as seen a year ago in June 2024. The sustained
headwinds, and the rise of GCCs as a popular format of talent consumption, continues to keep the
IT Services cohort under pressure. - The active tech talent demand from GCCs Cohort accounts for 12% of total demand and has
grown 5% compared to previous month. The overall moderation in demand volume has caused
a 9% YoY drop in active tech demand from the GCCs cohort. - Functionally, the core Tech & Engineering functions dominate active demand with a 61%
contribution. The demand for and intake of tech and engineering talent has driven a 10% MoM
and 7% YoY rise in this cluster of openings. - Associate functions like Tech Sales and Project Management functions have also seen a rise in
demand compared to previous month. Meanwhile the Consulting & Advisory function’s demand
has marginally dropped 3% MoM and 21% YoY. - Geographically, 87% of active demand is concentrated in and around the megacities collective.
Despite the overall majority contribution, the volume of demand on a YoY basis has dropped 20%,
and the demand from Tier 2 & Tier 3 locations has grown 70% (on a low base value). - Full-time work from office (WFO) openings account for 69% of all active openings in the market.
WFO demand has grown by 8% compared to previous month but has dropped 12% on a YoY basis.
This is largely due to the overall drop in demand and a change in the mix of WFO and full-time
remote and hybrid openings. - While full-time hybrid openings are seen losing popularity, enterprises continue to hold
interest in engaging talent on a full-time remote mode. Sustained uncertainties in key client
markets of the tech sector, are keeping enterprises cautious and engaging talent in remote mode
to reduce cost footprints remains a popular austerity measure
