Tech giants hit brakes on hiring in India amid global economic slowdown

As Silicon Valley grapples with economic challenges and layoffs, the ripple effect has reached the Indian tech sector.

Major players such as Google, Amazon, Meta, and Apple are reportedly scaling back recruitment efforts, contemplating a potential hiring freeze in the near future.

A recent report by a national business daily reveals a substantial drop in active job postings by these tech giants in India, plunging by 90% compared to 2022.

Data from staffing firm Xpheno indicates that these companies currently have around 200 open positions in India, marking a staggering 98% decrease from their usual hiring levels.

The hiring deceleration aligns with the broader challenges faced by the industry amid a global economic slowdown.

Companies are focusing on revenue generation, implementing restructuring measures, and experiencing project slowdowns.

Prasadh MS, Head of Workforce Research at Xpheno, emphasises that the cautious hiring stance from top companies serves as a warning for smaller firms.

He notes that maintaining the status quo involves replacement hiring, with no significant net talent additions.

IT analysts and industry experts anticipate this cautious approach to hiring to persist for the next two quarters, driven by weakened demand and a concentration on improving employee utilization.

Data highlights that the economic slowdown and concerns about a potential recession have significantly impacted the tech sector, resulting in a sharp decline in hiring.

By December 2022, demand from major tech companies had fallen by 78% compared to July, hitting a 1.5-year low.

Globally, big tech players, including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, have collectively cut hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Notably, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, and Google employ just under 150,000 people in their core operations and captives in India. However, 2023 witnessed a substantial hiring slowdown.
