Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pay to apply to a job or get an interview call? / Recruiters are asking me to pay to schedule interview for job?

No. You can apply to jobs for FREE on Naukri.

Note that genuine recruiters do not ask for money to schedule interviews or offer a job. If you are receiving such calls or emails, beware as this might be a job scam.

We regret that sometimes, despite our best efforts, false job postings are listed online, and non-existing job offers are sent via email to illegally collect personal information and/or money from unsuspecting job seekers. Please note that Naukri.com does not approve of, or represent any employer or recruiter sending such fraudulent communication, which in fact are a violation of the Terms and Conditions. In such cases, we remain vigilant every day - When we receive complaints from Jobseekers about fraudulent or suspicious emails, we promptly notify the concerned employer client and, if necessary, block them from using our services. Report such cases to compliance@naukri.com.

On basis of past complaints from jobseekers, we encourage you to be wary of the following:

  1. Do not share your personal, non-work related information such as Credit Card numbers or Bank information over phone or email

  2. Do not provide a call back phone number or provide contact information that is outside the country

  3. Do not trust anyone asking for any kind of payment for Job Applications, conducting interviews, or any other such employment/recruitment related purpose

  4. Beware of anyone promising a guaranteed job/interview call

  5. Beware of calls/emails from people claiming to be Naukri employees. Only emails from @naukri.com domain belong to that of Naukri employees

Before you respond to such communication, we suggest you to do a discreet enquiry and be sure to verify the legitimacy of the employer with whom you are interacting.

You have an option to select companies to whom you do not wish to reveal your resume. Once you have logged in to your account, click on ‘Settings’ in ‘My Profile’ tab visible at the top right corner of the page. On mobile, you can find this in the side menu bar.
