OVERALL JOB INDEX

Reversing the regular trend of year-end holiday season hiring dip, the Naukri Job Speak index for Dec-12

grew by 3% when compared to Nov-12 and 7% over the same time a year ago. Traditionally, December has

always been a month where recruitment slows down across sectors, however this year barring minor dips in

IT, ITES and Oil & Gas sector hiring activity has picked up across all the other major sectors.

Hitesh Oberoi, CEO and MD, Info Edge India said “It is definitely a positive sign that hiring activity perked up

in the final month of 2012. Job creation in this quarter will take place in the new emerging growth sectors

rather than the traditional ones.”

METHODOLOGY The Naukri Job Speak index from Feb’10 includes both online jobs as wells as jobs acquired from existing

clients by our tele-calling team. Although the tele-calling data is a relatively small component of the entire job

postings on Naukri, addition of the same to the index gives a more holistic picture of the Indian job market.

Therefore, the Job index which was till now based on the July 2008, has been realigned to take care of the

effect of the Jobs added by the tele-sales team.

On the basis of job listings added to the site every month, the data shows an increase or decrease in the index.

To calculate the index, job listings added to the site in July 2008 have been taken as 1000. The subsequent

months have been indexed with data of July 2008. The monthly report shows hiring trends across industry

sectors, geography and functional areas. There might be high volatility for certain fringe cases like smaller

cities, niche industries etc. owing to a small base, but more than 42000 clients using Naukri.com leads to high

reliability of the data.

Naukri Job Speak not only talks about sectors or cities but also about the total job movement on site. The

total jobs on site are defined as:

Total Jobs: Jobs Added + Jobs Refreshed

Where a refreshed job is any job that was posted earlier, however has been refreshed during the month and

therefore indicates that the position is still open.

Disclaimer The data is only representative of the listings on Naukri.com. Our analytics team has used statistical

techniques to derive insights which might be useful for our users/stake holders/ audiences. There may be a

statistical margin of error
