White-collar job posting activity witnesses two per cent growth in March: Report

White-collar hiring in India grew by 2% in March, boosted by demand from the retail, telecoms and tourism sectors. The annual rise in hiring was driven by recruitment in these sectors, according to Foundit Insights Tracker (FIT).
