givers.
Introduction –

Naukri.com is an India-based employment-focused internet service that operates


through websites and mobile apps, the website was launched in 1997, is primarily
used for professional recruitment processes, and allows job seekers to publish their
resumes for various recruiters to check. Naukri.com’s parent company is Info
Edge, and as of 2021, the website holds an almost monopoly in the online job
recruitment sector with a 75% market share.

According to the CEO and founder of Naukri.com Bikhchandani:

“My idea of getting into the recruitment space with a database was ahead of its
time in terms of the infrastructure available to action the idea in India. We hit on
the naukri.com name almost by default — it was not our first choice, but all the
other possible domain names in English had already been taken”

With 800 thousand resumes searched daily in the 3 rd quarter of 2021, Naukri.com
is way ahead of its competition in India by a huge margin as the nearest competitor
the monster.com has a market cap of less than 10%. Naukri.com also provides
multiple other services such as resume writing and appropriate job finding for the
seekers and provides access to these resumes to the recruiters.

Basic Functionality –
Naukri.com’s basic functionality allows job seekers to upload their resumes for
free, and provides a monthly subscription plan to those who seek to have premium
services. It charges recruiters to get access to these resumes and also to maintain
their presence on the homepage. Unlike LinkedIn, Naukri.com is not a social
network but a complete website focused on the sole purpose of job-seeking and
recruitments only.

Naukri.com allows recruiters to post their ad at the top of the website with
premium pricing and gave similar facilities to job seekers as well. Naukri.com
provides services relating to resume writing and also provides options to job
seekers to boost their ranks among other seekers through subscription plans.
Through its premium subscription plan, Naukri.com provides multiple services to
job seekers such as applying for premium services, and having a direct
conversation with its recruiters is another special feature. It also helps its users to
find the best jobs for them by customizing the jobs list according to their needs and
their resume. This same feature is also available to recruiters as they can select
their requirements for their job.

Benefits of Naukri.com –

As India’s no. 1 site for online job recruitment and holding an almost complete
monopoly over the sector, it provides huge options for both its users, the recruiters,
and the job seekers. Having a huge variety of resumes available induces more
companies to post their jobs on Naukri.com with induces more inflow of resumes
and the cycle continues.
Other benefits of Naukri.com include its paid services for users which ease the
process of finding jobs suitable to the seeker and also help them to design their
resume accordingly with the help of its services. The sorting feature of Naukri.com
is of great importance as it allows both seekers and recruiters to find exactly what
they are looking for and what they can get with their qualifications.

Ease of use –

The process for finding the jobs is pretty straightforward as all the options are
available on the homepage itself and the sorting options are also available at the
left-hand bar, the top bar allows access to all the other features as well which the
website provides. The resume services also ease the process of creating your
resume and also suggest suitable jobs for premium users. The look of the website
at first looks a bit cluttered and can be very overwhelming for a new user due to all
the hyperlinks and company ads, other than that the flow of use is pretty simple,
and graphical representation also allows to flow through easily.
Analysis-

With the help of the virtuous cycle and the first mover’s advantage, Naukri.com
has been able to maintain monopoly and leadership in the only recruitment sector
for more than a decade and is still going strong. The no. of resumes posted on the
site has been consistently growing over the past decade. Naukri.com has been able
to build trust among the recruiters by providing them with good quality talent and
has also been able to gain more consumers as job seekers due to that.

The second data proves the point of recruiter confidence as it can be analyzed that
the biggest revenue for the company comes from resume database access and with
a growing no. of resumes per year it can be clear that the company is playing its
market strategy right and it can be trusted as a reliable and authentic source for job
finding.
