Wanted: Skilled, blue-collar job seekers at electric two-wheeler firms

For every one experienced candidate being recruited by e-two wheeler companies, 10 have no prior experience; recruitments are for skilled, low-end jobs, not for managerial or supervisory roles

Fresh diploma holders from industrial training institutes (ITIs) and local technical centres have never been in great demand by traditional automotive (auto) companies. But that is set to change. New-age electric two-wheeler (e-two-wheeler) companies have now been hiring them in droves, says an executive at TeamLease.

For every experienced candidate being recruited by e-two-wheeler companies, 10 have no prior experience.

The shift is prevalent across various sales functions, including production, sales, and marketing.
