Increased Hiring in More than 50% Companies Expected in 2019, Says Mercer

According to a senior official of the international consulting HR firm Mercer, more than 50% of companies are looking to increase hiring in 2019. In contrast, only 3% of companies are likely to lay off workers in the year. 

Mercer India CEO Anish Sarkar said that hiring has been observing a decent growth since the past few years in India. He said that the demand for roles in research and development have increased considerably. On the possibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over jobs, he said that while AI might lead to jobs displacements, it will create new jobs too.
