STARTLING FACTS (1/4)

By 2017, LinkedIn had over 10 million
active job listings.
According to a report by World
Economic Forum, India is facing the
second highest skill shortage with 64%
organizations have difficulty finding
qualified employees.
Also, 25% employers believe being
culture fit is equally important than
skill set.
Roughly 18% of companies currently
use personality tests in the hiring
process
This number is growing at a rate of 10-
15% a year
Meta-analytic studies reviewing 50
years of research suggest that
personality traits such as curiosity,
extraversion, and emotional stability
are twice as important as Intelligence
Quotient (IQ) — the benchmark metric
for reasoning capability
It has been predicted that by the year
2022, nearly 37 percent of Indian
workforce would be in jobs demanding
radically different skill sets
91% of Indian employees felt
threatened that their skills will become
obsolete in coming 5 years
Clients are facing major difficulties in
matching up with the expectations of
the employers
