Naukri alternatives: who shows the pay, and what it costs

No site we counted had more jobs than Naukri, so an alternative is a second list, not a replacement. Naukri says it has 10 crore+ registered jobseekers. Among the others, foundit and Apna had the longest Pune lists on 30 Oct 2026, while Apna, WorkIndia, Internshala and eGig showed pay on every job we counted. Checked 30 and 31 Oct 2026.

How we counted: each site’s own Pune page, in its default order, signed out, read on 30 Oct 2026. Pay counts only if the list shows it before you open the job. We could not count Indeed: its page asked for a human check. A snapshot of one city on one day, and these lists change every hour.

If you are hiring instead of searching

  • Job Hai says you can post a job for free, in 500+ cities, with candidates calling you directly. It claims 257 lac candidates.
  • Naukri keeps prices behind sign-in, and says it has 20 lacs daily active users on top of its Resdex database, with iimjobs, hirist and Naukri Campus in the same group.
  • Instahyre says “Start Hiring for Free”. We did not read its prices.
  • eGig: every account can keep one job live at no cost, with the pay shown. It reaches far fewer people than these today.
  • More in free job posting sites and recruitment platforms by type of hire.

What eGig does not do

eGig has far fewer jobs than Naukri, so a search can find little in a small city, or in trades such as plumbing and welding. Many of its jobs come from other boards, labelled with the source, and you apply on the site that posted them. It has no CV database like Resdex.

Questions people ask

What is the best alternative to Naukri?

It depends on what you need. For local and field jobs, Apna, WorkIndia and Job Hai. For freshers and internships, Internshala. For office jobs near your network, LinkedIn. For the widest second list, foundit or Indeed. eGig suits people who want the pay shown and also want freelance work, but it has far fewer jobs.

Does any site have more jobs than Naukri?

Among the sites we counted for Pune on 30 Oct 2026, no. Naukri listed 64,720, foundit 16,210 and Apna 14,302. That is one city on one day, and we could not count Indeed because its page asked for a human check.

Is there a free alternative to Naukri for employers?

Yes, several, with limits. Job Hai says you can post a job for free, Internshala gives one post a month, LinkedIn allows one free post at a time for up to 14 days, National Career Service is free and every eGig account can keep one job live at no cost.
