 According to TeamLease EdTech's latest insights, the healthcare sector is witnessing a significant hiring surge, with a 47% hiring intent fueled by advancements in telehealth and a growing focus on preventive care services. Cities such as Delhi and Chennai are driving this trend, showcasing the highest demand for critical roles, including Research Associates, and Brand Management Trainees.

Shantanu Rooj, Founder and CEO  of Teamlease EdTech shared, “ With tech advancement, almost all sectors are undergoing massive changes, with Healthcare standing out distinctively. Propelled by the pandemic, virtual consultation and remote healthcare support are the new normal. People at large are adopting a proactive approach focusing on preventive care rather than reactive care. With so many factors at play, the rising demand for talent isn't surprising. If understood well, one can definitely chart out an impressive career trajectory in this sector”.

This surge is powered by the increasing adoption of telemedicine, which has normalized virtual consultations and remote healthcare support. Alongside this, the expansion of diagnostic services, driven by a shift toward preventive healthcare, is contributing to the rise in hiring. Furthermore, the aging population and the prevalence of chronic illnesses continue to highlight the need for continuous healthcare support and innovative treatments.

Delhi (65%), Bangalore (56%) and Ahmedabad (48%) have emerged as key hubs for Research Associate roles, which involve conducting medical research, supporting clinical trials, and managing data. Brand Management Trainees who focus on marketing and strategic initiatives are in high demand in Chennai (57%), Delhi (53%), and Coimbatore (45%). Nursing Assistants, who play a crucial role in patient care, are in demand across Hyderabad (54%), Chandigarh (49%), and Gurugram (43%). Medical Laboratory Technicians responsible for operating diagnostic equipment and conducting tests are seeing strong hiring momentum in Mumbai (51%), Hyderabad (47%), and Indore (40%).

Employers are seeking candidates with robust technical expertise in lab techniques, diagnostic testing, and clinical trial management, along with core skills in patient care and data analysis. Soft skills such as communication, empathy, attention to detail, and adaptability are also highly valued. Certifications like Certified Clinical Research Associate (CCRA), Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) certification are increasingly critical for securing roles in this expanding sector.
