This week in Indian hiring, by the numbers

- 16621 postings were first seen in the last 7 days, across all countries.
- 14179 of the open postings are located in India.
- 697 open internships are listed across all countries.
- 8774 open postings across all countries state a pay figure. This does not mean every posting states pay.

- 18672 open postings were read straight from employer career sites, including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Keka and Zoho Recruit, rather than from a job board. This says nothing about how the employer hires.

What a fresher can do this week
Use 1059 as a starting point to search for open postings asking for 0 years of experience, across all countries. Check each listing’s location, requirements and application details before applying. If you are looking in India, use the location on each posting to confirm it is relevant to you.
The skills list can help you decide what terms to search for in India postings added this week. Compare those terms with the skills you can show on your CV or in projects. Do not treat a skill appearing in this list as a guarantee of a role or a fit. The 697 open internships are also a reason to include internships in your search if they suit your plans.
What a placement cell can do this week
Use the India postings and skill terms to guide a practical review with students. Ask them to check current listings for role requirements, location and stated pay, then match their CVs to the criteria they meet. The companies listed above can be starting points for checking new India postings, not promises of campus recruitment or hiring.
Share the feed figures with a clear note on what each counts. In particular, distinguish open postings from new postings, and explain that employer-direct sourcing describes where a posting was read, not how an employer hires. Encourage students to assess each listing themselves and apply only where the details fit.
