Talent Management

Employers in India are expecting cautious hiring in the first quarter of 2025, as ongoing talent shortages are likely to continue to hinder recruitment efforts, according to a survey. The ManpowerGroup Talent Shortage Survey collected data from more than 3,000 employers across four regions of the country.
