As the job market evolves, we're witnessing a significant shift in hiring trends towards tier 2 and 3 cities. Companies are actively recruiting in smaller cities like Indore, Jaipur, Mohali, and Lucknow, driven by the need to balance escalating living costs and infrastructural challenges in metros.
🏙️ Key Drivers:
Cost Advantages: Lower land costs and salaries are attractive to companies.
Talent Availability: There's an abundant pool of eager professionals ready to contribute.
Rising Disposable Incomes: Smaller cities are seeing an increase in spending power, fostering job growth.
