As workspace dynamics have changed with COVID-19, employees are preferring permanent work-from-home opportunities, data from jobs aggregator Naukri.com revealed. In July 2021 Naukari launched a new feature for ‘permanent remote’ and temporary ‘Work From Home during the present pandemic.
Companies have listed three types of jobs
In the past six months, 32 lakh job searches for permanent and temporary remote jobs were made by Indian job seekers, of which about 57 percent were for permanent remote jobs. Companies have posted all three types of jobs — regular jobs, temporary work-from-home, and fully remote jobs. As things are opening up gradually, corporates largely believe that hybrid work is here to stay at least in the near to medium term. After listing the dynamic feature on the job board, the firm saw over 93,000 permanent and temporary remote jobs being listed on its site, of which permanent remote roles made up 22 percent. “There is a foundational change in how recruiters are setting up organizational structures. While uncertainty prevails due to the present pandemic, more and more recruiters are acknowledging the benefits of work from anywhere like access to talent and more inclusion and are now beginning to make permanent changes to the human resource and infrastructure requirements at a corporate level,” said Pawan Goyal, the chief business officer of Naukri.com. Companies have considered the option of making some job profiles completely remote where the roles require a high individual contribution, especially popular in IT, software and BPO industries,” the job board said adding that the preferences of job seekers have evolved and the hybrid model suits many profiles that have a low intervention on a day-to-day basis.
Data shows companies posting more permanent remote jobs
Data reflects that IT software, software services, ITeS, and recruitment/staffing sectors are posting more permanent remote jobs. Some of the companies posting both temporary and permanent remote jobs are Amazon, Tech Mahindra, HCL, PWC, Trigent, Flipkart, Siemens, Deloitte, Oracle, Zensar, TCS, and Capgemini, according to the employment website.
