Employee referral is a cost-effective way of finding the right talent through your employees’ network. Recruiters share open vacancies to their employees who in turn refer their contacts for these positions. Candidates referred by current employees are more likely to be aware about the organization’s culture. Also, research suggests that an employer is 7 times more* likely to hire a candidate coming through an employee referral than if the candidate applies through a non-referral route

1. How do I benefit by sharing a job on a social network?
Every time you share a job, your contacts can see and apply through the shared link. In case, the position gets closed through your shared link you will be eligible for the referral benefit as decided by your organization’s HR policies
2. How will I get to know when one of my contact applies through my shared links?
Every week you will receive an email containing details of all candidates who have applied through any of the links you shared
3. Will I still get a referral benefit if a third or fourth level contact applies to the link I shared on my social network?
Even in cases where your shared link gets propagated by your contacts, you will get the credit for that referral because you initiated that link on to that network
4. What if the same jobseeker applies more than once through referral links shared by multiple employees?
Jobseekers cannot apply to the same job twice using their Naukri profile for a period of 1 month. In case, jobseeker applies using their unregistered profile also, the duplicate applies can be easily tracked using the date of apply and referral benefit can be given to the employee who referred first.

Yes, if you copy the URL from the referral mailer and share it with your friends, Referral will still work and will be credited against your name.

Combining the power of Resdex and Job Posting for recruitment
As a recruiter, you can Send a Job as Email (http://recruiterzone.naukri.com/?p=1935) to over 2000 jobseekers in one go (and more in the sets of up to 2000). After posting a job on Naukri, you can search the most relevant candidates in Resdex and send them the job. Send a Job as Email thus combines the power of Job Posting and Resdex, and helps in closing the positions at the earliest.
Searching and shortlisting of relevant candidates from Resdex may require significant amount of time and effort. Now, Naukri can also help in identifying the matching jobseekers. To begin with, this functionality is available if you have posted a job where annual salary mentioned is more than Rs 15 lakhs per annum. The candidates are selected using the Naukri iMatch technology which also powers Naukri Job Alerts. The matched candidates are available in a folder in Resdex which carries with the same name as the job title for convenient access. If you want, you can further shortlist candidates from this set or send the job as email with a single click.
We inform you about the folder through an email that is sent to the registered email address of the sub-user and the email address mentioned for collection of responses as shown below:
We expect this feature to be a major productivity booster for recruiters using Naukri.com
Happy recruiting!!

Please Note:
- This feature will be available only to the recruiters having active subscriptions for both Resdex and Job Posting
- The folder containing matching candidate profiles will be automatically deleted after 7 days
We are now introducing a more powerful ‘Refine Results’ section on the Resume Search Results Page making the feature more exhaustive, useful and actionable.
1. You can now easily refine your search results based on Salary, Industry, Functional Area, Role, UG Qualification, PG Qualification and Current Location.
2. You can make multiple selections when refining. This reduces the number of clicks, and your time required, to find the most relevant resume.
3. We have also taken this opportunity to change the structure of the page based on feedback from users. We have shifted the Refine Results panel to the left of the page in order to improve usability and readability of the page for you.
Here is a quick demo of how the new Refine Results functionality works:
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
How to use Multi-Select Refine Results to your advantage :
Some jobseekers misclassify their Industry, Functional Area, Role even though their profile is rich with the relevant skills that you want. So, if you select an Industry or Functional Area or Role in the search-form before you conduct a search, such candidates will not show up on the results page.
With Multi-Select Refine feature on the Results Page, you need not guess the Industry or Functional Area before you conduct the search. You can just perform a broad search with only Keywords, Experience range CTC and Location. Basis the distribution of results across various categories, you can decide better how you want to refine the results.
We hope this helps reduce your time to find relevant resumes. We look forward to your feedback.
Happy Talent hunting!

In order to help you (recruiters and employers) get better, sharper response from candidates they contact,
we have now designed the Contact Candidate Form such that you can send more targeted and more informative
mails to candidates.
First, there is the Job Details section, where we ask you to input some highlights of the job you are emailing
about. This information will be presented to jobseekers at the top of the email, and in bold – which means
the candidate can now get a quick snapshot idea of what the job is about, and hence can take faster, better
judgment to respond to you. They will now not put off reading (and responding to) the email for later because
the Job Detail highlights will grip their attention instantly.
See image below.
Second, let’s consider the Candidate Profile to be contacted. Here we want to encourage you to take a
conscious choice about which candidates are most suitable for the job opportunity. If you have already
entered these values in the search form, then these fields will get pre-filled. This ensures that candidates
will receive relevant emails, and the response rate to your emails will improve.
See image below.
Resdex New Contact Candidate Page
You would be warned in case you select large/broad ranges for experience/CTC field in either job attribute or candidate profile. You can always ignore the warning and continue to use the range as specified earlier. This is just to ensure that you do not make any unconscious candidate contacts. This also helps you use your email quota judiciously.
Warning shown in case of large experience/CTC ranges
So, these two additions to your Contact Candidate Form are designed and intended to help you get
quicker and more relevant responses from candidates. This will improve your productivity when using
Naukri.
We look forward to your feedback for making this product even better for your usage.
We have designed a new Contact Candidates page for you, where you email candidates from. This change is
being done to help you target jobseekers better, send more informative emails and get more number of relevant
responses.
Refer below the snapshot of what the current Resdex Contact Candidates page looks like.
Current Contact Candidate Page
Current Resdex Contact Page
We are going to improve this page soon so that you will be able to present your email to job-seekers in a richer
, better format. Additionally you will now have greater control on who you want to send the email to – this will
help you use your email credits judiciously and effectively. You will agree that sending a mail to 10 relevant
candidates is more efficient than sending emails to a thousand irrelevant candidates – and the new Resdex
contact form would help you do just that!

To provide greater value for your money and help you find the best candidates faster, we have now introduced candidate clusters on search result page. You can now search your mandate and then drill down quicker among 4 different groups of candidates - All Resumes, Premium Resumes, Confidential Resumes and Featured Resumes - who match your requirement. It will help you quickly identify, and zero-in, on high quality candidates who may be ready for new job opportunities.
Next time you log into Resdex you would see these four tabs on search result page.
Candidate groups on Resdex search results page
The candidates have been grouped under four heads.
1. All Resumes - this would have all resumes which match your search.
2. Premium Resumes - Premium Resumes are of those candidates with a markedly high quality of work experience, and/or educational background. They have been recognized as Premium by Naukri.
You can also search ‘Only Premium candidates’ from the search form.
Resdex Search Form: Search on Premium Candidates Only
Premium candidates would be shown with a Premium icon.
3. Confidential Resumes - Confidential Resumes are of those handpicked premium candidates who wish to maintain their confidentiality while changing jobs. If you like any resume, please click on the contact button (on the resume page) to request for further details about the candidate.
4. Featured Resumes - Featured Resumes are of those candidates who have availed jobseeker services from Naukri and are actively looking for a change in their career. These candidates would be shown with a Featured icon.

We are in a constant feedback loop with our users and try to make our products better every single day.
Basis feedback from a lot of users, we are happy to introduce an improved search on Preferred Location in Resdex.
Now you will be able to select Candidate’s Current and Preferred Locations in two separate dropdowns and specify an ‘And/Or’ criteria between them.
Please refer to the screenshot below:
Click image to enlarge
When you use ‘OR’
If you wish to see resumes of candidates who are currently in the location you specify in the Candidate’s Current Location field OR those who prefer to work in the location you specify in the Candidate’s Preferred Location field, select the OR radio button.
For example:
Upon selecting Candidate’s Current Location as Mumbai OR Candidate’s Preferred Location Mumbai, we will show you resumes of two kinds of candidates:
1. Candidates currently in Mumbai
2. Candidates not in Mumbai, but prefer to move to Mumbai
When you use ‘AND’
If you wish to see resumes of candidates who are currently in the location you specify in the Candidate’s Current Location field AND prefer to move to the location you specify in the Candidate’s Preferred Location field
For example:
Upon selecting Candidate’s Current Location = Dubai/UAE AND Candidate’s Preferred Location = Mumbai, we will show you resumes of those candidates who are currently in Dubai/UAE but prefer to work in Mumbai.
Going forward jobseekers registering with Naukri.com will be able to upload their resumes in doc-x format. Currently only doc (MS Word 2003) and the rich text formats were allowed.
This will help jobseekers using MS Office 2007 register faster with us. Also more jobseekers will be able to upload their word CV’s with us, and that will only help you shortlist the best candidate sooner.
Incase you are still using a version of MS Office lower than 2007, we advise you to download a converter immediately. The converter allows you to read Word 2007 CV’s in the correct format. The converter is available for free with the Microsoft download center. Here is a link to the same - http://bit.ly/1Sn5mJ
How to use Insta Recruit effectively
Insta Recruit is designed to save you time in your recruitment process. Here are some basic tips to draw more responses from Jobseekers using Insta-Recruit.
- The text of the SMS should contain the essential pieces about a Job (Job profile, skills required, experience, and location).
- Clarity of the context should not be compromised even while using the SMS lingo (only remove the vowels where common abbreviations are not found).
- Minimize using special characters in the text of the SMS, some special characters cannot be displayed on low range Mobile Handsets.
- Draft the SMS in the text box given here rather than copy pasting from a word editor, this ensures that no html characters are part of the content and message can be displayed correctly.
- Your company name is visible in the Mobile emulator on the construct SMS page. If company name isn’t sounding right contact your sales representative and provide them with the desired name within the allocated characters-13 characters for Insta Recruit, 18 for Insta Recruit Plus.
- You can send longer SMS if you use the without apply functionality. Care should be taken to provide accurate contact information - email id or Phone/Mobile Number in the SMS. Candidates would be able to contact you only on the mentioned details in the SMS.
