According to a report by Quess Corp, replacement hiring in Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in India has reached 40% of all recruitment activities in the fourth quarter of FY26. This increase is attributed to the declining tenure expectations of Gen Z employees, who now average under 24 months in their roles. The GCC ecosystem has shown a 12-14% quarter-on-quarter growth, shifting from a phase of selective optimization to a broader recovery-led expansion. Despite ongoing demand for skills in AI, platform engineering, and infrastructure modernization, GCCs are facing persistent talent shortages. Notably, the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector is experiencing a 42% skill gap in AI and data roles, leading organizations to offer 1.5-2.5 times salary premiums to attract qualified experts. Quess Corp's CEO of IT Staffing, Kapil Joshi, emphasized the need for GCCs to balance rapid growth with long-term talent development to ensure sustainable success.
