Hiring slumps for semiconductor design GCCs before Q4 uptick: Report
India’s semiconductor design Global Capability Centres (GCCs) went through a corrective phase in calendar year 2025, with hiring activity slowing steadily through the first three quarters before showing signs of a cautious rebound in the final quarter, a report said on Wednesday.
Open roles across the top 50 semiconductor design GCCs fell consistently between January and October 2025 – with the second quarter emerging as the weakest – before witnessing a selective pickup in hiring during the October-December period, according to talent solutions provider Careernet’s ‘India’s Semiconductor Design GCC Talent Ecosystem – CY 2025’ report.
