The Naukri Job Speak Index for March stood at 1,475, showing stability in hiring activity, when compared to the previous month.
Yearly comparison shows a 12 per cent increase in hiring activity in March over the corresponding period last year, the report said.
"The job market continues to improve steadily. Hiring activity is beginning to look up beyond sectors like IT.
However, for hiring to pick up substantially we will have to wait for uncertainty around the elections to clear a bit," said Hitesh Oberoi, Managing Director and CEO, Info Edge (India) Ltd, the company that owns Naukri.com.
Industry wise, sentiment was muted across all sectors except pharma, which saw growth, with the index moving up by eight per cent month-on-month.
