Hiring panelsector-panel-v1 · 25 Oct 2026
What is hiring in India, by sector
Read from employer hiring systems directly, not from job boards, and re-checked at the source. Every figure carries the number of roles behind it.
Still advertised is the share of that sector's closed roles still sitting in the employer's own feed, from the Ghost Job Index. This page says what is open; that one says whether to believe it. A dash means the index withheld the sector for too few observations, not that the sector is clean.

What this does not cover
- 8 sectors are published of 10 tracked, covering 52,514 of 52,696 live roles. A sector appears only with at least 100 live roles and 5 employers. Below that a panel describes a handful of postings at one company.
- This is a panel of tracked employers, not a census of Indian hiring. It is deep rather than wide, and a sector's numbers move when we add an employer as well as when the market does.
- A listing with no sector on it is excluded rather than bucketed into an "Other" row. Unclassified is missing data, not a sector.
