New Delhi, March 16 (IANS) Hiring in February has seen an increase of 15 per cent compared with the previous month, with the IT sector being in the focus, a report by a job portal said on Thursday.
"Though the Jobspeak index has shown just 1 per cent Y-O-Y growth in February, the good news is the month-on-month growth of over 15 per cent in February compared with January.

According to the survey, among metros, Delhi/National Capital Region recorded 20 per cent increase in jobs during February.
"Increase in hiring activity in major metro cities during February has contributed to the overall rise in hiring activity in the job market. The index for Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai saw a growth of 14 per cent, 12 per cent and 11 per cent respectively as compared with January," it said.
