METHODOLOGY
The Naukri Job Speak index from Feb10 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
