92% of Indian employers now prioritise the quality of hire. 70% assess soft skills. So why do only 42% of jobseekers feel confident about their market readiness? We're witnessing well-intentioned transformation without the operational infrastructure to support it.

Our new report, Smarter Hiring with Data‑Driven Insights: Quality & Skills Edition – India, offers a clear, data‑backed roadmap for Talent Acquisition leaders seeking to make hiring faster, fairer, and more future‑ready.

What You’ll Discover Inside the Report

Our India‑focused analysis delves into:

  • How recruiters define a quality hire today—willingness to learn, communication, and retention potential top the list 
  • The most in‑demand skills across levels, from entry‑level curiosity and communication through mid‑career decision‑making to senior‑role leadership and emotional intelligence
  • Perception gaps that leave capable candidates feeling unseen and create hiring friction for employers
  • Post‑hire metrics that really move the needle—retention rates, speed to productivity, and collaborative feedback
  • Practical strategies to align skills-first thinking with real-world recruitment processes and existing workflows
