Skills mismatch, migration hurt hiring in small cities

Mint Kolkata

February 17, 2025

As per the survey, demand for skills like blockchain, cloud computing, coding etc. has fallen

India companies are finding it difficult to hire in small cities, not least because of a lack of talent with appropriate skills, but also because many prefer to migrate to the metros in search of better job opportunities, a study by Mint-Shine said.

According to the study that surveyed more than 200 human resource executives, a majority of the respondents fretted over skilled talent being in short supply. This, combined with workforce migration, has made recruitments in small towns tougher.

"Limited talent pool was the single biggest challenge faced by 76% of the respondents while hiring in tier-II and tier-III location mainly due to migration to tier-I cities along with skill gap, and fewer educational institutes and industries," said the study titled Talent Insights.

The report was conducted for the October-December quarter, which took responses from 1,100 job seekers as well.
