Naukri has finally launched dedicated mobile apps
for its Job search engine. Being the biggest Job site in India, they
should have come up with these apps earlier – However, its better late
than never :). From the looks of the apps they have released, they have
done a good job of it.
TimesJob was one of the first Indian job search engines to introduce their apps for iPhone and Android based
smartphones, however, they have not been too popular. Even after close
to 6 months of launch Timesjob Android app has not crossed 50k
downloads, whereas iPhone has witnessed even lesser. Even the user
ratings and reviews have not been that good.
We downloaded Naukri.com Android app
on our phone and found it to be quite good. Even other users who
downloaded the app have given excellent ratings. In less than 2 weeks
since its launch, Naukri Android app has witnessed between 10k to 50k
downloads and users have rated it 4.8 on 5!
As far as the features go, Naukri apps have all the standard features
expected – The app allows job-seekers to filter job openings by
location, keywords, functional area, experience bracket, and minimum
expected salary.
App also allows users to create up to five custom job alerts based on
defined search criteria. The alerts are directly sent to the users’
inbox three times a week. Users can also track the number of times a
resume has been viewed by an employer, and the companies they have
applied to earlier.
Apart from these smartphone apps, Naukri also has launched its own
HTML 5 site, which allows users to search jobs from a mobile friendly
interface, when using Naukri site from a mobile browser.
All in all, Naukri has launched decent apps and they surely should be
popular with Indian job seekers. If you are looking for a job switch,
download this app and let us know what you feel!
