| The first Monster HR Panel discussion focused on the
topic "2005 - Year of Freshers" and evaluated various aspects
of hiring in the entry level segment. The e-discussion revealed that
panelists on average predict that as compared to 2004, hiring in the
entry-level will grow an estimated 28 per cent in 2005.
Another key insight of the discussion was that panel members believed
there will be a huge demand for engineers in 2005. The panel also
predicted that companies will be aggressively visiting campuses
to recruit talent in the year ahead. This is also a reflection of
the growing demand in the engineering and manufacturing sector.
The Monster site statistics indicate that from May 2004 onwards
the number of resumes in the manufacturing and engineering segment
has shown a 14 per cent month-on-month growth. During the same time
the job postings in this category showed a 22 per cent month-on-month
growth.
The HR managers also pointed out that while they would look to
hire talent from B towns too, the majority of them said that the
recruitment will be heavily focused in the top eight cities and
from the top engineering colleges.
