If you’re someone who is looking for a job change or a fresher starting their career in India, it goes without saying that Naukri is the go-to platform to find the best jobs in the country.

Naukri offers a plethora of jobs and one can easily find them if one knows how to use Naukri.

But there’s another side to Naukri, where the employers decide which candidates they want to shortlist and interview for the job openings at their organisations.

Recruiters can access the database of Naukri to find the most suitable candidates for the vacancy they have at their company and contact them directly, without posting a job on Naukri.

This means there are a lot of recruiters that are actively hiring at any given moment without you ever coming across their job posts, because they’re not posting any. In fact, almost 70% of hiring on Naukri happens this way!

This employer side is what we call Resdex.

What is Resdex?

Resdex is the employer’s dashboard on Naukri. It allows recruiters to access the Naukri database of candidate profiles on Naukri.

A lot of the premium companies and recruiters do not like to post a job opening and get overwhelming applications.

So, they use Resdex to find the most suitable candidates using the search and contact those shortlisted directly.

This saves a lot of time as it’s faster than shortlisting hundreds of applications and also recruiters can look for what they exactly want.

How to get shortlisted for an interview?

So, the question is… how to get shortlisted by these recruiters who are not posting on Naukri but using Resdex to find the right candidates on Naukri?

Here are a few things you can do to increase your chances of getting shortlisted:

  • Complete your Naukri profile: Make sure the most important fields on your Naukri profile are filled such as education, experience etc.

  • Use the right keywords: Make sure you have added the right keywords and tags on your profile as most recruiters use the keyword search on Resdex to find candidates.

  • Check your inbox: A lot of people do not check their Naukri inbox. Most recruiters reach out to you there. So, make sure to regularly check your inbox.
