Is India embracing the gig economy? We take a look at what panelists had to share during a panel discussion co-hosted by People Matters and Indeed during the People Matters Talent Acquisition Conference 2019 about tackling recruiting challenges in India
Gig economy as a buzzword is new. But, the concept of working on different “gigs” or projects is age-old.
Construction workers who work intermittently on various projects are one such example. (However, this is not out of their own choice). When you think about white-collar jobs, insurance sellers have been entrepreneurs or freelancers in their own right.
As the workplace is increasingly turning into a global office interconnected with technology, the concept of gig economy has penetrated into the corporate world as well.
During a panel discussion co-hosted by People Matters and Indeed at the People Matters Talent Acquisition Conference 2019, the focus was around the theme of From gig to big in real India: Navigating the hiring challenges.
The discussion revolved around the concept of gig economy, identifying the right talent pool of gig workers and using the right kind of content to tap into the existing pool of gig workers. Employees are increasingly willing to sacrifice the additional benefits that come with a permanent job, such as gratuity or health insurance, in exchange for a greater amount of flexibility that allows them a healthy work-life balance, and the opportunity to simultaneously pursue multiple interests. However, there are some gaps and opportunities for both TA leaders and the staffing industry.
During this panel discussion experts like Bharat Jayaprakash, Senior Director- Inside Sales, Indeed India; Vinod Subramanian, Chief Operating Officer, FlexAbility, RPO Initiative of ABC Consultants; Saleel Panse, Head TA (India), Mondelez International; and Satya D. Sinha, CEO, Mancer Consulting Services shared their insights into the gig industry while Ester Martinez, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, People Matters, was the moderator of the discussion.
