Only 6% of the respondents expected no change in recruitment activity.

"Also good news for job seekers, along with new opportunities -- they are going to be benefited by a handsome increment and better salary," MyHiringClub.com CEO Rajesh Kumar said.
When it comes to a salary hike for existing employees, 36% of the respondents said they will be able to give a 15% to 20% increment, while another 24% of the employers surveyed said they would give a 10-15% increment.
Another 12% of the respondents said salaries would rise by 5% to 10%, while 6% of the employers surveyed did not comment on the issue.
Furthermore, for job seekers, there would be a 12% rise in pay scales vis-a-vis existing levels.
The survey said 69% of the respondents indicated the maximum hiring will be witnessed at the mid-level for employees having experience of 4-9 years.
Another 38% said the maximum hiring will be at lower levels, with employees having between 1-4 years of experience. Only 18% predicted that the maximum hiring would take place at the senior level, with 9-15 years of experience.
