Things to know
Reported, not verified by us: a January 2025 Business Today story on a viral job-seeker post said applying on Naukri led to unsolicited calls and messages from dubious recruiters, and also cited ghost jobs and vague listings on Naukri and LinkedIn (https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/trends/story/linkedin-naukri-nothing-short-of-horror-frustrated-job-seeker-on-how-job-platforms-in-2025-are-sucking-soul-460167-2025-01-09). On Trustpilot (about 200 reviews, score 1.6/5 when checked) reviewers complain that paid plans did not deliver and that jobs suggested were irrelevant (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.naukri.com). Trustpilot reviews are not verified and the sample is small relative to Naukri's user base.
