No jobs in the time of Covid-19? Interviews to be delayed, say experts

Delay in joining dates is also expected if the current situation continues

The overall hiring sentiment in the country is likely to witness an adverse impact in the short term with 60-65 per cent interviews getting delayed, especially in the services sector, following the slowdown across industries triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, industry experts said.

"Since the outbreak of Covid-19, companies have been cancelling interviews. We expect 60-65 per cent interviews getting dropped or delayed as there is lockdown in many parts of the country and people are encouraged to stay at home to curtail the spread of the virus," TeamLease Services Business Head –BFSI and government vertical, Amit Vadera told PTI.
