New Delhi: Hiring for artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) roles grew 20 per cent year-on-year in September even as overall white-collar hiring remained largely steady, pointing to a continued shift in demand towards specialised skills and experienced professionals, according to the Naukri JobSpeak report.
The Naukri JobSpeak Index rose 2 per cent year-on-year to 3,053 in September from 3,002 a year ago. AI/ML hiring remained one of the strongest areas of growth, while hiring in several traditional sectors weakened during the month.
