According to data from Indeed, the leading global recruitment and matching platform, the country is fast becoming a top destination for talent, while blue-collar workers are adapting to the demands of the new market.
UAE, US and UK are at the top of this exchange of talent pool. Between June 2021 and June 2024, searches in India from these countries grew by 13 percent, 12 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
While India attracts more global attention, worldwide job searches from India have declined by 17 percent between June 2021 – June 2024.
This trend underlines India's appeal as a hub of innovation and economic growth, attracting top talent from around the world.
“India is being seen as a land of opportunities for professionals. “This surge in interest from abroad underlines the confidence in India’s growth and ability to lead in key industries,” said Rohan Sylvester, talent strategy advisor at Indeed India.
According to the report, Indian job seekers are now preferring local opportunities over international positions, a shift that reflects confidence in the country's economic stability and growth potential.
“Indian workers are increasingly choosing to build their careers at home, showing confidence in the domestic job market,” Sylvester said. “This marks a significant change in job-seeker behavior, with more workers finding opportunities that keep them close to home.”
The report noted that blue-collar workers are demonstrating flexibility by adapting to new market demands. The findings show that as automation and digitalization reshape industries, these workers are upskilling and transitioning to roles that blend traditional skills with new technologies.
