    Creating Job

    Basics

    Job Details

    These are shown to the candidates on job listing like

    • Job title
    • Job location
    • Work experience
    • Salary, etc

    Preferred candidate details

    Contains details of an ideal candidate for the role like

    • Skills
    • Educational qualification
    • Certification

    Job Description

    Details out the day-to-day responsibilities for the role like

    • Role & responsibilities
    • Preferred candidate profile
    • About you company

    Screening Questions

    Questions candidates will answer while applying like

    • Current CTC
    • Expected CTC
    • Notice period

    Advanced Options

    Additional features like

    • Marking the job for walk-in interview
    • Collaborate on the job
    • Automatic refresh

    Department & role

    Department and role help categorize your job posting correctly. This ensures that candidates can easily find your job, and Naukri.com shows it to the right candidates.

    How it works:
    • Naukri suggests a wide list of departments and roles based on your job title
    • Choose from the dropdown or pick the closest match
    • Better categorization will result in more relevant applications
    Example

    If you enter "Sales Manager", Naukri will suggest Department: B2B or B2C and subsequently the role like Area Sales Manager or Regional Sales Manager.

    Our data shows that job posts with salary details get more views and applications.

    Salary transparency also helps build trust and attract candidates who are genuinely interested. We recommend adding salary details to your job post.

    Prefer to hide salary from candidates? No problem.

    How it works:
    • You can still add the annual salary range in the form and hide it from candidates by selecting the checkbox.
    • This helps Naukri match your job with candidates who have aligned salary expectations, improving relevance and reach.
    Important:

    Even if hidden, use market-aligned salary ranges to reach the right talent

    Common mistake to avoid: Don't enter a candidate's existing salary - always enter your job's salary budget.

    Skills

    Skills are the abilities or knowledge areas a candidate should have to do the job well.

    For example,
    • For hiring an Area Sales Manager, key skills can be Territory management, client relationship building, sales target, retention
    • For hiring a Software Developer, key skills can be Java, Python, AWS
    Choosing the right key skills for your job
    • Tools & software (e.g., Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Excel)
    • Skill set (e.g., Territory management, Lead generation, Client relationship)
    • Industry terms which candidates often use to search jobs (e.g., B2B sales, Channel sales, Retail sales)
    • Specific experience (e.g., FMCG sales, Pharma sales, Insurance sales)
    • Repeating the job title (don't write "Sales Manager" as a skill)
    • Generic phrases like "Good communication" or "Team player"
    • Sentences - use specific words rather than phrases to mention the key skills
    Quick tip: Think like a jobseeker - what would they type when searching for this role?

    Preferred skills are the most important skills you want in candidates. Marking them helps Naukri's system show your job to the right candidates.

    You can mark a skill as “preferred skills” by clicking on the star icon in the “Add skills” field.

    How it works:
    • Select 2 or 3 key skills as "preferred" from your skills list
    • Naukri's algorithm prioritizes candidates with these skills
    • Your job becomes visible to more relevant candidates
    • When these candidates apply, Naukri’s AI shortlists them as recommended profiles to help you screen better.
    Important:

    Candidates can still apply even if they don't have the preferred skills listed in their profile. It doesn't block anyone from applying.

    Quick tip: Choose the skills that are essential for success in this role.
