A big CV database you rent, with AI on top

The short version

Resdex is a subscription to search the CVs on Naukri. Resdex Enterprise adds AI ranking and profile labels. AI REX screens applicants and reaches out for you. Your recruiter sets the criteria AI REX screens against and makes the shortlist.

Buy it if

You hire in India and want to reach people who have not applied. You have a large hiring team. You get more applications than your recruiters can read.

Do not buy it if

You want a price before you speak to Naukri. You do not want ranking that learns from your recruiters’ past choices. You do not want AI REX to filter responses before a person reads them.

You get package details and a quote from Naukri.

What Resdex, Resdex Enterprise and AI REX each do

Naukri sells three layers. Resdex is the base. It is a CV database with keyword search. Optional keywords raise a profile in the results without removing the others. Resdex also has diversity filters. Your recruiters can view a phone number and save profiles to folders. They can book a video interview through Google Meet or Hangout. They can send a message to many selected people at once with NVite. NVite reaches people by email and by notifications on the Naukri platform.

Resdex Enterprise is the upgrade for large hiring teams, and the most advanced version of Resdex. You post an open role and it matches the role against the CVs in the database. Then it recommends candidates. Resdex Enterprise ranks results by your recruiter’s own past actions unless the recruiter picks another order. The ranking also uses skills, experience and role relevance. It draws on historical data about your own company’s employee profiles to infer what you tend to hire. PremiumX is a separate subscription upgrade for hiring mid to senior roles. Its profiles carry a checked company, pay and notice period.

Resdex Enterprise also labels candidates and summarises profiles automatically. The labels are Hidden Gem, Trending and Actively Applying. Actively Applying shows the person is looking for a job right now. A Recommendations feature suggests people similar to the ones a recruiter saved in a folder. Talent Cloud has AI candidate recommendations, and they are for enterprise clients only. Enterprise also includes customised training and priority support. Your team can sign in through your own company login system.

Applications that arrive through your job posts get their own help. Naukri gives each application a score out of 10 against the job. It calls this the Relevance Score. You can set questionnaire filters, so only matching responses reach your email and the list of applications in Naukri. Your recruiter marks an application as rejected, and Naukri feeds the reasons back into its matching.

AI REX acts on candidates, so check its settings before your first role. AI REX is Naukri’s AI platform for finding talent. It screens and filters each response against criteria your recruiter sets. It finds people in the database before they apply. It reaches them on WhatsApp, email, the inbox and app notifications. After you shortlist, it can book interviews automatically. Write down who on your side sets the criteria and who can change them.

Naukri Talent Cloud ties the group’s products together. One sign-on works across Naukri products. DoSelect assessments connect to Naukri. Search recommendations and job posting link to the sites iimjobs and hirist. Our guide to AI sourcing and screening covers how the rest of this market works.

The figures behind Naukri

The CV database holds 118 million profiles

Naukri hosts about 118 million resumes. Naukri has more than 146,000 corporate clients, including recruitment agencies. Info Edge owns Naukri.

Shortlisting took under a day instead of 10 to 15 days

AI REX cut shortlisting time from 10 to 15 days to less than a day. It is live with over 4,000 enterprise customers and recruitment firms. More than 10% of them now pay for it.

Recruiters gained 15% to 20% in productivity

AI-enabled automation raised recruiter productivity by 15% to 20%.

PremiumX covers 85% or more of India’s people paid over 30 lakh rupees

85% or more of India’s premium talent is available on PremiumX. Premium here means pay above 30 lakh rupees a year, which is 3 million rupees.

Who gets the most from it

You hire in India and want to reach people who have not applied

Resdex lets a recruiter search profiles and message people who have not applied to you.

You run a large hiring team

Resdex Enterprise is the upgrade Naukri built for large hiring teams. It adds training, priority support and sign-in through your own company login.

You get far more applications than you can read

The Relevance Score and AI REX both sort applications for you, so your recruiters can start with the strongest matches.

You recruit for other companies

Naukri counts recruitment consultants and agencies among its customers.

Where it stops, from quotas to personal data

Each profile uses one unit of quota the first time you act on it

Naukri gives your team an allowance of profiles it can act on. It calls this CV quota. Some actions on a profile use one unit of quota. It is used the first time a recruiter takes one of them. That profile then stays available for 90 days. Each profile uses quota once. An Excel download uses 2.

Reaching a candidate depends on what you bought

Viewing a candidate’s contact details needs a Resdex subscription. Naukri Message, its chat tool, works for people with an active Resdex subscription. Text messages from Resdex come only with a separate Naukri service called Insta Hire. Email sent from the Naukri Recruiter App uses a separate allowance for emails.

AI REX counts CVs for each open role

Each open role you set up in AI REX gives access to 50 AI REX CVs. Naukri calls an open role a requirement. The 50 includes both recommended CVs and screened applications. Work out how many CVs one role usually needs before you compare quotes.

Your recruiters’ past choices can steer the ranking

Both the search ranking and AI REX learn from what your recruiters did before, including shortlist and reject decisions. If your past decisions favoured one kind of candidate, the ranking can lean the same way.

The relevance score uses pay and location

Naukri’s Relevance Score rates each application on six things. They are skills, designation, experience, salary, location and education. A recruiter can hover over the score to see each part. Decide whether salary and location should count towards your shortlist.

Candidates’ personal data passes to your recruiters

When a person registers, Naukri collects resume details including contact details and salary. Info Edge may forward that resume to recruiters. It may also collect caste and affirmative action eligibility if the person provides it. Transfers outside India are protected under applicable law. Data is kept as long as necessary. People can delete their own account in settings. Ask what your recruiters can see, and how long you may keep it.

Naukri guards bulk CV downloads and sign-in locations

Naukri prompts for a one-time code when it sees unusual bulk CV downloads from Resdex. That guards against unauthorised downloads. A Login IP Ranges setting limits sign-in to chosen network addresses.

How you buy it and what you pay for

Details of the Resdex subscription packages come from Naukri’s branches or a call-back form. You activate Resdex Enterprise by contacting Naukri. Talent Cloud does not change the pricing of the individual platforms.

Naukri approves KYC documents before it activates a new subscription. KYC means know your customer. It is the paperwork that proves who your company is. Plan for that step before your first recruiter needs access.

A separate feature, CV recommendations against a job you posted, needs an active Resdex subscription and uses Resdex credits.

Your quota use decides how much you need to buy. Count the profiles your team acts on each month and the open roles you will run in AI REX. Take both numbers to the quote.

You could also find and screen people with agents built on your own systems. We have mapped what that looks like. The HR Agent Map

Nine questions to put to Naukri

What is the price of Resdex Enterprise and AI REX for our number of recruiters and open roles? Good answer: A written quote that lists each product and the quota it includes.
Which actions on a profile use up CV quota, and what happens when we run out? Good answer: A complete written list, and a stated price for extra quota.
Can our team see why a candidate ranks where they do? Can we switch off the learning from past actions? Good answer: Yes, with the reasons shown for every candidate and a setting an administrator controls.
Which parts of the Relevance Score can we turn off, for example salary or location? Good answer: A setting for each of the six parts, with a log of changes.
In AI REX, can a candidate be screened out without a recruiter opening the response? Good answer: Only after a recruiter sets the criteria, with a list of who was filtered out that we can read.
What do the diversity filters in Resdex filter on, and who can switch them on? Good answer: A written list of the filters, and a setting for each.

Alternatives to Naukri Resdex

If Naukri is not the right fit, look at LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed Smart Sourcing and SEEK. Buying no sourcing tool this year is a fourth route.

LinkedIn has more than 1 billion members in more than 200 countries and territories. Hiring Assistant is an AI agent sold as an add-on to a Recruiter contract. LinkedIn is rolling it out gradually, so your account may not have access yet.

Indeed Smart Sourcing’s Professional plan in India costs ₹33,000 a month or ₹3,15,000 a year. The plan includes 100 contacts a month, and extra contacts cost ₹330 each. That gives you a price to set beside the quote from Naukri.

SEEK Talent Search covers a database of over 50 million candidate profiles across Asia Pacific. SEEK designs the Premium version for agencies and professional recruitment teams. It designs the Basic version for businesses that hire only now and then.

If you hire a few people a year, a sourcing database may cost more than it returns. Count the roles you could not fill from applications alone before you buy.
