Within this workforce, over 88,000 employees are women and over 5,000 are specially-abled persons, the firm said.

The company hiring has been focused across 6,400+ cities. Tier 1 cities hold a workforce share of 37%, followed by Tier 3 areas with a share of 32%. Tier 2 cities, with 31% share, have also been a great source for hiring. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana witnessed maximum hiring.

Guruprasad Srinivasan, ED & CEO, Quess Corp, said, “Amidst growing concerns of a global recession, it is encouraging to see demand for hiring up in India.  Such growth in headcount in a short span of two quarters, further solidifies our commitment to making India employable through formalisation and supporting economic growth in the country. We are happy and appreciative of our clients, team members, and extensive network of colleagues who have contributed to our rapid expansion over the past 15 years and elevated us to the fifth-largest staffing company in the world by headcount. ”
