Best free Naukri alternative — Rekruuter

Naukri is one of India's biggest job portals and worth keeping. But a portal gives you a list; it doesn't tell you which jobs you can actually win or help you apply well. Rekruuter works alongside it: it reads your resume, ranks live roles by fit, and helps you tailor each application and prepare for the interview.

The same resume sent to every role, when each employer screens for different keywords.
No sense of which roles are a realistic fit versus a long shot.
Interview calls that arrive before you've had any practice.
