According to a survey by Monster.com, the demand for cloud professionals has seen an uptrend with cloud-related roles taking up nearly 10 per cent of total jobs with three lakh active job seekers in November 2021. Skills such as cloud computing, AWS/Azure, cloud migration, SAP, cloud security, machine learning and artificial intelligence are highly pursued by recruiters. Further, the demand for cloud-related roles has grown exponentially since last year — over 40 per cent, with over 608,000 cloud professionals across all verticals in India.
Amid the demand for cloud professionals, there is an emerging talent gap prevailing in the industry due to the lack of adequate skilling and hence Velocity was conceptualised to cater to this burgeoning demand in the industry, says the online recruiting platform. “The two organisations are collaborating to create a talent revolution in the industry through upskilling professionals with Microsoft certifications and bridging the gap between qualified candidates and the most sought-after recruiters in the country,” reads the official release.
