Recruitment Billings: Below Estimates
Despite the overall financial improvement, Info Edge's recruitment billings growth of 9.5% on a yearly basis came in below Kotak's estimate of 13%. This shortfall is seen as an indicator of weak hiring trends and prevailing economic pressures, which may be tempering demand for the company's core recruitment platform.
