Getting around Naukri

What are Recommended Jobs?

Recommended jobs are those jobs that are the best-matched jobs based on your profile and your activity on the Naukri platform. This takes into account the type of jobs you are applying to, your professional details, your education details, your resume and the type of jobs people similar to you are applying to.

You can indicate your job preferences such as expected salary, desired industry and desired location in the ‘Job Preferences’ section of ‘Settings’ page. Based on these settings, you will see jobs in the Recommended Jobs section that meet your job preferences. Jobs that do not meet your job preferences but are among the Recommended Jobs will be hidden. You can view these hidden jobs without altering your job preferences.

What is Custom Job Alert? How to use them?

If you would like to see jobs that match a specific set of criteria such as industry, functional area, role, salary, experience and skills you can set a custom job alert for it. Custom job alerts are designed to show you jobs that you want to see and they are not based on your profile details. Custom job alerts are helpful when–

You are not seeing relevant jobs in Recommended Jobs
You want to search for a job that is different from your current domain. For example, you are working as an engineer but you are looking for marketing jobs.
You are searching for jobs for your relative or friend. You can share jobs shown in Custom Job Alert with anyone.

There are different ways to create custom job alerts:

You can create a Custom Job Alert by specifying criteria such as industry, functional area, role, and location.
You can also choose to be notified of jobs matching a search result by clicking on “Set As Alert” after conducting a search on Naukri. You can set very specific criteria using the search filters and get only those jobs that match these criteria.
If you find a job in the search result that you think is interesting, you can also ask to get alerted on similar jobs by clicking the “Send me jobs like this” link in the job description.

What is Naukri database or Naukri CV database?

It is a repository of profiles of all the candidates who are registered with Naukri.
A profile contains data filled and CV uploaded during registration or profile update
Candidate can register on Naukri through any platform (desktop website, mobile website, Android app or iOS app) to make their profile part of it

Benefit: More than 50% of hiring on Naukri happens through the database. If a candidate's profile is part of it, he/she may get contacted by employers even without applying to any job. It is important to update your profile regularly, as recruiters are more likely to view recently updated profiles

Your profile will be displayed like this in the search result when a recruiter search for candidates -

If the recruiter clicks on your profile, they will see a more detailed profile like this –

Why are there no views for my Profile? or Why have employers not viewed my CV?

Viewing your profile in Naukri database and viewing your application against a job are two different things.

Profile views reported in your ‘Profile Performance’ section represent the number of times your profile was viewed by recruiters while searching through Naukri Database. This does not include the number of times your application was viewed for the jobs you applied to.

Recruiters tend to search for recently updated profiles as this indicates to them that the person is active on the platform and is most likely to respond to an interview call. If you are getting less number of views on your profile, make sure to update your profile with all the details including your latest work experience, key skills, education, certifications, etc. This will increase the chances of your profile being viewed by recruiters.

As far as job applications are concerned, you can track their progress via Application Status feature on desktop or Applied Jobs on mobile.
