How do I get the recruiters attention towards my Naukri Profile?

Getting recruiters attention on Naukri needs both luck and a bit of effort. So do what you can do from your end and be positive. The most important things you are required to do are:
  1. Update your resume every day. Every single day, preferably in the morning itself.
  2. Be more active on Thursdays and Fridays, since most of the interviews are scheduled on Saturdays. The recruiters tend to look out and send interview invites on Thursdays or Fridays.
  3. Keep your ‘Key Skills’ section updated and include every single skill you have.
  4. Try applying to jobs on the very same day they are posted. If you are applying to a job that was posted yesterday, most probably the resume shortlisting and interview calls have already been done for it.
  5. Upload a picture of yours. When the Naukri pop up comes saying “Update your profile picture. Profiles with pictures have 40% higher chance of getting recruiter’s attention”, they are right.
  6. If you have worked on more than one technology, have 2 different and fully updated profiles for both of them. Keep 2 separate resumes, including all your experience but highlighting one technology more than the other in both of them.
  7. Don’t go only for Naukri. Keep your resume updated atleast once every 3–4 days on every company’s internal job portal. (The companies which you follow the most). Not all of a company’s vacancy is posted by the HR on Naukri. You can get a lot of job postings on the internal job portals which people usually miss, since they are not posted on Naukri.com. The number of applications for them, hence, automatically decreases and your chances increase.
Hope this helps. All the best! :)
