01Where the hiring is
Twenty sectors, and IT is not the whole story.
The company count matters as much as the role count.
| Sector | Roles | Companies hiring |
|---|---|---|
| IT & Software | 22,143 | 7,091 |
| Real Estate & Construction | 9,474 | 3,295 |
| Manufacturing | 8,352 | 3,538 |
| BFSI | 7,357 | 2,103 |
| E-Commerce & Internet | 6,506 | 2,919 |
| Healthcare & Pharma | 6,186 | 1,848 |
| Energy & Utilities | 6,021 | 1,876 |
| FMCG & Retail | 5,213 | 1,956 |
| Consulting & Professional Services | 4,992 | 1,528 |
22,651 roles from 8,956 companies have not been confidently classified into a named sector. That bucket is shown rather than distributed, because spreading unclassified volume proportionally across the named sectors would make every sector figure marginally wrong and completely unfalsifiable.
02Where your graduates would move
Where the roles actually are: Gulf and India, side by side.
Willingness to relocate is the single biggest constraint on a student's offer set.
| City | Roles | Companies hiring |
|---|---|---|
| Dubai | 12,766 | 4,839 |
| Bengaluru | 8,494 | 2,914 |
| Riyadh | 7,128 | 2,038 |
| Abu Dhabi | 5,727 | 1,519 |
| Mumbai | 3,092 | 1,548 |
| Hyderabad | 2,929 | 1,262 |
| Pune | 2,500 | 1,049 |
| Gurugram | 2,114 | 951 |
| Chennai | 1,908 | 880 |
| Jeddah | 1,382 | 607 |
03Why the employer count holds
Two records that look like one company are not merged quietly.
Employer counts only mean something if the employers are real and distinct.
Flagged, not merged.A repeated link is a hint, not proof. A person decides.
- 71,785 records, not strings
Every posting attaches to a company record. 4,003 records were added in the last cycle alone.
- Industry and size, where known
Company profiles carry sector and size where they can be established. Where they cannot, the field stays empty rather than guessed.
04Putting it to work
Four questions this answers before your next placement season.
- 01
Which employers should we be calling?
Rank live posting volume in your city and sector, then work down it. The list is ordered by what is open now, not by who came to campus last year.
- 02
Is our sector mix wrong?
Compare where your graduates went against where the roles are. A programme feeding a sector that is contracting shows up as a divergence, not as a hunch.
- 03
Should we be pointing students at the Gulf?
Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Jeddah together carry more posted roles than the comparison most placement cells assume.
- 04
What do our top recruiters ask for?
Take the employers your cell already works with and read their last ninety days of requirements against your syllabus.

Five capabilities, one evidence base.
Each one is a different question about the same corpus. They share a vocabulary, so a finding in one holds up inside another.
05Before you ask
What placement heads ask first.
Is this a list of companies that hire from us?
No, and the distinction matters. This is observed hiring volume - who posted a role, where, in what sector, over the last 90 days. It says nothing about whether they have ever hired one of your graduates. Cross-referencing the two is what alumni intelligence is for, and the two datasets stay visibly separate.
How current is "live"?
The default window is a rolling 90 days, because a hiring signal shorter than that is noise and one longer than that is history. Collection runs continuously against per-market schedules; the partner dashboard is versioned quarterly so a figure in a board paper is still on screen when the board meets.
How do you know two postings are the same company?
Carefully, and with a human in the loop when it is not obvious. Every posting resolves to a company record rather than a free-text employer string - 71,785 records so far. Where a match is only probable, the platform flags it for review rather than merging, because a wrong merge is invisible after the fact and silently corrupts every count built on it.
Can we filter this to our city or our sector?
Yes - country, city and sector are first-class filters, and most placement teams live in a filtered view rather than the national one. A Pune engineering campus cares about 2,500 roles across 1,049 companies in Pune far more than about the national total.
Can we see which skills a specific employer asks for?
Yes, where those postings carry descriptions. It is one of the most direct uses of the corpus: take the twenty employers your placement cell actually works with, and read what they have asked for across their last ninety days of hiring - in governed vocabulary, so it lines up with your syllabus.
