Owing to an expansion in its business with more hotels coming under its Umbrella, OYO is partnering with Peoplestrong to augment its workforce.

Budget hotel room aggregator OYO Rooms, which is tweaking its asset-light marketplace model to add a full-stack hotelier model, will hire 5,000 people over the next eight months, a person with knowledge of the plans said.

The Gurugram-based company will do most of this hiring through the recruitment process outsourcing route. Earlier this week, the company entered into a seven-year multi-million dollar contract with leading RPO service provider PeopleStrong.
