A new section on Naukri.com allows you to Browse companies and view all jobs posted by them.

If you already have a list of companies in mind to work for, and would like to be updated on the openings from these companies, ‘Browse by Company’ is a perfect way for you to be able to do this.

Up until now, our users (jobseekers on naukri.com) would enter the company name in the keyword field while searching for jobs. Surely their intent would have been to view jobs from that company only, but since our ‘Quick Search’ does not run on the ‘Company name’ field alone; users are also shown jobs that have that particular keyword in any part of the job description - even if the job was not posted by that particular company. Hence, it was an inefficient way to find jobs from a particular company.

For example if you entered ‘Oracle’ in keyword field to look for job vacancies posted by the company Oracle, you would end up getting even those jobs that have ‘Oracle Application Analyst’ or ‘Oracle Programmer’ or ‘Oracle DBA’ or ‘Oracle D2K’ etc in their Job Description, keywords, or Job Title. These jobs may not have been posted by Oracle, the company.

This new Browse by Company section will now eliminate most, if not all, of these challenges and get you to your target employers faster.

How to Reach this section:

Here is how it works:

Some features that might interest you:

1. Browse all companies: Find all companies who have posted jobs on naukri.com, listed under this section. For your benefit, the list has been sorted alphabetically and an alphabets index has also been provided.
2. Search companies by Name: If you do not wish to go through the company directory, you could simply search by entering the name of the company.
3. Search companies by Job Location: Wish to work in Delhi and want to know which companies are hiring in Delhi? Search by job location; get the list of companies with jobs in Delhi and then shortlist from there.

This is, by design, a simpler way to find out more about companies and the job openings advertised directly by them.

We make continuous efforts to know and understand your requirements, and the challenges you face while looking for a suitable job. You are welcome to help us help you - by writing in your feedback, comments, concerns and challenges.

While you are searching for a job online, one of these three cases will happen: In search result either you get very large number of jobs, or very few, or in an optimum quantity. Not surprisingly everyone wants the search result quantum to be optimum.

Realizing this we decided, for cases where result quantum was very high or very low, to recommend you some keywords that are closely related to the keyword entered by you. You can see these recommendations as ’Related Keywords’ on top of the Search Result Page. These recommendations work especially well for keywords that are either too generic or too specific.

When the results are too many: We know that it irks you when you see too many results. In this case the recommended ’Related Keywords’ will be more specific versions of the keywords entered by you, and clicking the ‘Related Keywords’ will narrow your search and show you more pertinent result.

When the results are too few: With too few results, you assume that we have few or no jobs for you. This may not be true. So, in this case we identify and recommend ‘Related Keywords’ that will produce similar, if not greater, number of results relevant to you.

We hope this feature helps in making your job search easier, more convenient, and more productive. Your feedback on this will be valuable to us, and we look forward to it.

Every time you log on to naukri, you enter a specific set of parameters ie, skills, designation, location , experience, functional area, ctc – all or some of these and run the search to find matching jobs.

We thought of simplifying the task for you and so, now once you are logged in, you can access your recent searches and run them at will, without spending time in filling up the search form.

Your Job Search ends here, as you have found the Jobs that you were looking for. Now, all you need to do is express your candidature for these jobs that have appeared as a result of your search.

Clicking the ‘Apply button’ would send your profile to the recruiter as an Application to the advertised job(s). 

But before hitting the “Apply button” ask yourself the following questions: - 

• Does my profile match the Job’s Description in terms of the roles & responsibilities that will be assigned to me?

• Do I have the experience that matches this Job’s Requirement?

• Am I qualified enough for this Job?

• Do I need to relocate for this Job, if yes, am I willing to?

• Does the CTC of the job (If Displayed) meet my expectations?

To answer these questions, one must look at the Job in Detail. Before Applying, click on the Job to open a detailed view of the job which contains all the Job information for that particular Job provided by the recruiter. We strongly recommend you to see the job’s requirements in detail, before you apply. The closer is your profile to this Job’s requirements, the higher the chances of you getting selected by the recruiter.

As a platform between the jobseeker & the recruiter, we aim at providing you with the freshest jobs& the easiest ways to search these jobs. But, after you have applied to the jobs you liked, our role is limited. The decision of who to shortlist rests purely with the recruiter.

So, if you’ve applied to a lot of Jobs, and are not getting any suitable responses, we suggest some tips that will definitely help -

• Make sure you are applying to the right job, and you have gone through the job in detail.

• Make sure your contact details (Phone Number and Email) are updated, so that if a recruiter wishes to call you, he does not face any problems. It’s best to verify your Email ID and Phone number.

• Make sure your resume is up-to-date. Recruiters always ask for updated resumes.

Spare a thought for the above questions. If the answer is “Yes, this Job is for me…” go ahead andApply!

Now all you need is a little bit of patience and luck!

While searching for the dream job on Naukri, each person will have their own criteria on what constitutes the “perfect job” and why he needs a change at this moment. There could be many reasons why people look for a change

• Ajay has 6 years of experience as a Mainframe software engineer - I need to move to a better role , I am stuck in my current position

• Bharat is sales professional with 2 years experience - I have some personal issues, need to move to another city

• Chitra is a HR person with a small retail firm- I need to move to a bigger brand name, it will help me in my future

• Dinesh works as an accountant in a manufacturing firm - I need more money!!!

Of course, all of these could be excuses to get out because you have Hari Sadu for a boss

Once you have decided that you need to take the plunge, how do you translate these thoughts into a search and find that dream job? Let’s try and translate these thoughts into a search on Naukri

You would be familiar with the search bar and in the keywords field you could enter skills, designation, company name, education or a combination of these.

So if you are looking for a change in role as Ajay is, you could look at entering your expected role and years of experience to find jobs that match your expectation. e.g. if Ajay were a software programmer and has 6 years of experience, he could search for “Project Manager” or “Project lead” askeywords and by entering “6” years of experience so that only the relevant jobs turn up. This would give him all jobs which offer these positions on the site. He could then shortlist the jobs by going through the details available in them. But this is a time consuming way, and we have a solution for you. Read on to find out….

A lot of such positions are also dependant on skills that you already have; – if you are a mainframe programmer, it is likely that you would move into Mainframe project management itself.

So an easier way is to enter “Mainframe” as keyword and let the results guide which jobs you want to apply to. Here I have entered “Mainframe” as keyword and 6 years of experience and the result is more accurate and relevant:

Plus, on the left of the search results page, you see an option to “Refine by Role” – which lets you select the role for which the job is. Since Ajay is looking for a Project Lead role, he could click on Project lead and find the most appropriate jobs. This method allows you to be more open ended in terms of role (as there could be multiple nomenclatures within industry for the same role) but specific in skill so that you could arrive at the right job.

In the following posts, we will see how to solve Bharat, Chitra and Dinesh’s problems. In the meanwhile put in your comments and let us know whether you found this information useful. Also, if you want some quick tips for help on searching the job you are looking for, let us know. We’ll be happy to take up your case.
