If I'm a prospective employee, I'd like as many people as possible to see my resume. The reason why I'd submit on a site such as naukri is that I know that employers use their naukri's search engine to look for employees, and that I'd turn up in the appropriate search results. Employers like the fact that once they've paid for the database service, they can go through as many or as few resumes as they please. On the other hand - employers are much less likely to look at one resume at a time and pay Rs. 250 each. They'd rather just hop onto LinkedIn and do a bunch of searches for free searches.

However, the models of the usual portals will not work here. People will not buy an yearly access to a vertical-based portal when they have only a handful of openings in that domain/vertical all through the year. Completely agree with you Ashish, there is a lot of room for innovation (most of the big companies I have talked to subscribe to at least two of Naukri, Monster, Timesjobs, ClickJobs => they are not getting what they are looking for). However, this innovation cannot happen sitting in a cubicle. It is a must to have field knowledge, to know the recruiter fundas. I'm still learning what works and what does not. Q. What sells more Job Postings or Database access? A. Job Postings.
