The employment market in India has rebounded in the aftermath of the global economic downturn. Job growth is occurring across most sectors and the employment outlook for 2013- 2014 is encouraging.

Our annual employment survey reveals 58% of employers anticipate an increase in staff numbers over the next 12 months. Some 36% believe their staffing levels will remain stable while only 6% anticipate a reduction in headcount. This positive outlook in recruitment has been driven by global companies looking at India as a core growth market given the ongoing uncertainties in the US and European economies. India is regarded as a logical business hub with a well qualified young workforce and the required infrastructure to support international business activities.

With regards to demand for talent, we forecast an increase in demand at the middle management level across all sectors. A steady volume of recruitment at junior and graduate level roles is also expected in the coming year. Furthermore, certain specialist skill sets currently limited in the existing talent pool are also in demand. If the economy continues to strengthen over the next 12 months, companies will continue to increase their focus on the retention of top performers.

The services sector in particular is forecast to see robust growth with a solid demand for professionals with strong domestic experience. This is spurred by continuing growth within the healthcare and life sciences sector as well as an expected acceleration in the growth of retail as the

government relaxes entry restrictions for foreign players in this sector.

With the continued entry of new foreign players into India along with the growth of existing organisations within India, experienced professionals across all functions continue to be in demand. Middle to senior level professionals can expect salary increases between 10% to 20% while bonuses may increase up to 20%. As talent attraction and retention becomes a key focus for employers, providing employees with the right mix of training and development to drive career growth has become a priority. Employers that offer these opportunities along with the right cultural fit and expected salary levels will therefore be highly sought after.

The recruitment market in India however, remains relatively immature, with most of the hiring activity conducted through in-house recruitment teams and internal referrals. However, a shift towards specialist recruitment partners has been observed due to the requirements for specialist skill sets and an increasing shortage of supply of strong middle to senior professionals with both the technical expertise as well as the cultural fit.

Most important thing in a new role

Reason for leaving

As talent attraction and retention are areas of focus for employers, the survey reveals that there is little difference from a diversity perspective on the reasons why middle to senior level professionals change jobs. 57% of women and 61% of men anticipate lack of career growth to be the prime consideration for leaving an organisation. Some 18% of women professionals anticipate work-life balance to be an important consideration unlike male professionals, who anticipate lack of support from management to be the next important consideration.

Among the candidates surveyed, title and profile were of prime importance when looking for a new role. Some 22% of women look at work culture as the second most important thing in a new role while. 18% of men rate both brand and work culture the most important after title and profile.

Michael Page Finance & Accounting recruits middle and senior finance roles within commerce and industry with a specialist focus on:

• Accounting• Finance• Audit• Tax & Treasury

The early part of the year witnessed a slow start in finance hiring primarily because of a cautious market outlook by both multinational companies as well as Indian conglomerates. Hiring however saw an uptick post quarter 1 as finance candidates explored fresh opportunities after their annual appraisals. While growth within finance trails overall hiring expectations, with only 51% of CFOs seeing an increase in headcount

within their teams, demand is still strong within certain specialist areas. Furthermore, finance professionals who have strong business partnering skills and commercial acumen remain in demand as companies focus on transforming their finance function from business support to business partnership.

The pharmaceutical and consumer goods sectors remained buoyant with strong hiring, primarily because these sectors are less cyclical in nature. The manufacturing sector mostly saw replacement hiring and some new headcount creation at a corporate level within FP&A teams. The service sector was a mixed bag with the IT and hospitality sector remaining weak,

while there were improving hiring trends within telecommunications. At a middle management level, there is a clear preference for local talent especially because of their exposure to local compliances, taxation and understanding of the market. At a more senior level there is a visible preference for Indians with strong international exposure.

The demand for talented finance professionals in taxation, corporate finance and working capital management has seen an upward trend. Survey findings reveal, 37% of employers feel that these are the areas in which they are likely to face shortages. Organisations are increasingly being extra cautious in terms of compliance and statutory requirements in a highly regulated environment. Plant controllers in remote locations continue to be in demand, with companies paying strong premiums to

attract the right professionals for relocation. Finance is also increasingly being viewed as a business partner rather than business support function and this has led to increased demand for finance professionals who have good business acumen and some operational exposure. Chartered accountants who are rank holders remain highly sought after within large employer brands.

The healthcare & life sciences discipline covers companies within the pharmaceuticals, bio-technology, medical devices and healthcare sectors. The healthcare & life sciences industry in India is expected to see double digit growth annually which is likely to be fueled further by the proposed increase in government expenditure in research grants for new medicines.

The pharmaceuticals industry has proved resilient despite the recent economic cycles, and shortage of talent at a business unit head and above level remains a key concern in this sector.

Predicted staff numbers for the next 12 months Hiring focus by level of experience

The consumer goods sector is the fourth largest sector in India and major goods companies reported an impressive year-on-year growth of between 10-25%. The sector is expected to continue to see double digit growth in 2013 as companies continue to invest in rural expansion and, in the process create strong opportunities for talent with rural sales and marketing experience. Apart from continued rural investment, during 2012 consumer goods companies increased their investment into new platforms to reach their customers and hence the creation of new roles within digital marketing. Professionals with a strong digital marketing background and a solid understanding of how to position organisations on social media were in demand.

With foreign direct investment opening in the retail sector, several international players have already obtained licenses to operate in India

and a further number is expected to do so over the course of the year. The current trends and the rapid growth of the market will create an acute shortage of talent at the middle to senior level, creating high demand for candidates that are experienced in setting up large retail chains as well as candidates with international exposure. This increase in demand is likely to drive up salaries and consequently the average annual increase in salary will be between 12-18% in the retail sector as a result of skill shortages due to the entry of new foreign players. On a sectoral basis, demand is likely to be highest for candidates with experience in clothing & apparel followed by the food & grocery sectors. These constitute the highest part of the organised retail market as well as the areas where foreign retailers are likely to enter the fastest.

The Michael Page Human Resources function recruits professionals within middle to senior roles across the following sectors:

• Banking & Financial services• Industry & Commerce

Recruitment activity within the human resources (HR) sector is likely to remain positive over the next 12 months, with 44% of HR directors surveyed looking to increase their headcount. The strongest hiring activity is expected within middle management, with 66% of the surveyed employers likely to hire at this level. There is a demand for HR professionals to act as business partners within companies and this has given rise to Centres of Excellence emerging within HR teams across companies.

In an effort to support business growth, an increasing number of companies are looking for the traditional HR function to have more of a strategic focus. This has fuelled demand for HR professionals across the

professional services, technology, banking, and pharmaceutical sectors in particular.

As companies face a general shortage of talent, particularly with niche skill sets, employee engagement and retention have become key. As a result, HR is now increasingly perceived as a business critical function and has assumed a business partnering role with the senior leadership of most organisations in India. The last year has also seen increased specialisations within HR, with roles such as diversity management and leadership development evolving into stand alone roles within organisations.

Human Resources

Within financial services, companies continue to re-examine their talent acquisition strategies. There is a move to hire talent acquisition professionals with strong domain knowledge as roles within financial services become increasingly complex and niche.

Within manufacturing we have seen an increasing demand for industrial relations professionals who can also assume corporate HR roles in order to improve employee engagement and retention.

Some 57% of survey respondents reported that their title and profile is the most important factor when considering a new role. This was followed by the work culture (23%). Compensation is the least important factor that candidates look for in a new job, with only 5% selecting this as a priority. For most respondents (47%) lack of career growth is the main reason why they would consider leaving their current jobs.

Human Resources

As more companies expand their HR teams to position themselves for growth in 2013, the strongest hiring activity is expected to be at a middle level. Generalist roles are the most sought after in the industry with 34% employers expecting a shortage of quality professionals in this function in their organisation. Companies are also looking for professionals especially in the compensation and benefits function to support organisational structural efficiencies. As companies plan their hiring strategies for the year ahead, talent acquisition and talent

management are becoming particularly sought after to help implement retention strategies. Professionals in the local market with skills in the area of organisational development are a particular sourcing challenge for employers. Employees that offer a blend of both technical expertise and functional knowledge will therefore be highly sought after. In addition to this, the opportunity cost of high attrition rates can be tackled by effective employee engagement programs.

Michael Page Banking and Financial Services recruits professionals in middle and senior level positions across all verticals in the banking industry,

• Front Office – Investment Banking, Private Equity & Venture Capital• Finance, Risk & Governance• Mid & Back Office Operations• Quality, Change & Project Management • Analytics

The Indian banking and financial services sector presented a number of contradictions in 2012-13, both in terms of outlook and a shift in focus during the course of the year. The last 12 months were amongst the more unpredictable periods experienced in recent times within Indian financial services. Consequently most financial services firms have adopted a cautious and watchful outlook for 2013 while continuing to make measured investments into their India business. Overall, the survey demonstrates a stable picture for the year ahead after the turmoil of the latter half of 2012.

Within the front office area, the investment banking sector saw downsizing of up to 50% across the bulge bracket banks in response to the low deal

volumes. This has been the largest downsizing India has seen in terms of scale and number of organisations that participated in it. Moving to a leaner core has also resulted in lay offs occurring at senior levels. A clear drive towards a specialist core focus for business rather than being spread out across various products and services has driven these changes.

The venture capital area however, clearly illustrates the dichotomy in the industry with a completely opposite story. 2012-13 experienced a record high in fundraising in a single year from an India perspective, amounting to approximately USD 1Billion. A growing appetite amongst investors to put their money in emerging promoter driven companies has resulted in this surge.

Overall in front office, hiring within IB, PE and VC were focused on the junior-end with a lot of opportunities being of temporary nature – typically two year Pre-MBA programs. The preference towards under graduates over post graduates in the Indian market was a first.

A similar contradiction was seen in the captive and KPO businesses in roles across middle, back office and project management. The first half of 2012 saw positive growth in global migrations and transitions, creating

new opportunities for Indian professionals continuing from the buoyant growth experienced in 2010 and 2011. However, halfway through 2012 a number of banks went into a hiring freeze. Although it has been a theme gradually gaining volume and importance, the second half of 2012 was where productivity, efficiency and quality was established as the clear priority for all global operation hubs in the next cycle of financial services off-shoring.

While most of the large captives continue to hire at entry level, primarily to offset soaring attrition rates from a recruitment perspective, there has been a significant growth in investment in attracting and retaining senior talent with strong transformational and change leadership experience and international exposure to bring in global perspectives and stakeholder management skills.

Although smaller in scale than in previous years, 2012-13 did see new entrants in global banks setting up centers in India with the hybrid model

of a fully owned captive as well as lower end services with third party service providers and KPOs. Overall, the captive space is adding about 1,500-2,000 high quality jobs at the middle to senior levels, creating an unsustainable talent gap as internal growth to fill these jobs is not keeping pace with the demand. Expatriate secondments, attracting returning Indians, and a focused strategy to develop diversity balance have consequently gained importance to bridge these gaps.

INDUSTRY TRENDS

While evaluating new job options, most professionals generally look for the business designation and responsibility levels. This trend has made the smaller firms particularly attractive to Analysts and Associates, as they gain exposure in multiple business areas along with a bigger job title.

Working professionals today look for career growth and often tend to leave organisations which lack a clear development and career plan. Employers have also understood this and thus a majority of them use career growth as well as strong training and development as retention strategies.

The technical skill gap available in the market continues to remain the biggest challenge. This is followed by the difficulty faced by organisations to match the salary expectations of the prospective employees.

In order to enhance their skill set most candidates (37%) prefer to take leadership skills training closely followed by company sponsored professional courses (36%). This demand is largely driven by the need to increase one’s credibility internally, as strong educational brands continue to be perceived as imperative in order to be considered ‘top talent’ in the Indian market.

Professionals in front office roles prefer soft skills training with leadership skills training being the next choice. While most junior to middle level roles require strong analytical and quantitative ability, sustained career progression requires these professionals to enhance their soft skills.

SKILLS IN DEMAND

Rank holders at leading engineering institutes in the country have been high in demand for the two year programs. This combination of strong pedigree along with one to two years of experience in the consulting, private equity and investment banking areas has been much sought after by leading institutions for front office hires. At a more senior level, most of the demand has been for consumer vertical experts following heavy investments in this area.

A similar demand has been growing at an exponential rate for strong engineering and statistics professionals, with the expanding analytics businesses in the country covering risk, customer and marketing analytics. There is a large gap at the middle to senior level in the analytics area, which is being addressed by investing in internal development, retention and attracting returning Indians.

Across captives and third party service providers the generic skills in demand continue to exist at VP and above senior level management roles. The biggest demand centers around strong change managers with the ability to develop and grow global stakeholder relationships. An emerging trend of techno-functional project managers has been witnessed amidst the larger banks and clear indications for the continuing demand for such talent has been indicated by KPOs and service providers. This skill is expected to gain importance through 2013, with the growing benefits in combining technology and subject matter expertise.

Specifically in the finance, risk and governance area, product controllers across asset classes and levels continue to be the highest in demand. This has allowed the relatively small pool of requisitely skilled professionals to demand higher benefits and compensation than other accounting and

finance roles. 2012 saw a surge in IFRS, US GAAP and regulatory reporting professionals with international exposure with most of the migrations happening in these functions.

Within back and middle office operations, asset services and corporate actions experts have been high in demand, with a large section of investor servicing and middle office moving to offshored locations in India. This has been closely followed with operational risk and controls which has been high on the agenda of employers, parallel to productivity initiatives. While most of the investment banking operation teams have stabilised in size and are in consolidation phases, there is major demand in transaction and wholesale banking operations. Returning Indians and senior diversity candidates continue to top internal recruitment agendas within all the bulge bracket banks.
