An HR representative discusses your background, understanding of the online recruitment business, and expectations around role, location and compensation.

4. Technical or functional interview

One or two rounds with the hiring team assess technical depth, product thinking or sales ability depending on the role, along with a discussion of past projects or achievements.

5. Manager round

A hiring manager evaluates overall fit, ownership and communication, and probes deeper into how you would handle real recruitment-platform or client scenarios.

6. HR discussion and offer

The HR team discusses compensation, joining timelines and policies before releasing the offer letter after final calibration among interviewers.

Naukri.com's interview process typically spans two to four weeks and combines an online assessment with one or more technical or functional rounds, depending on the role and the team you are applying to.

Round 1: Online assessment

Technology candidates typically solve coding and data structure problems within a fixed time limit, while product, sales and business roles may instead get a quantitative aptitude or short case-based test to gauge structured thinking.

• Data structures and algorithms for engineering roles
• Basic SQL and problem-solving questions
• A case on improving jobseeker-to-recruiter matching
• Quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning for non-technical roles

Round 2: Technical or functional interview

Interviewers assess technical depth, coding ability and system understanding for engineering roles, or business acumen, negotiation and client-handling skills for sales and account management roles, often referring back to your resume for specific examples.

• Designing or scaling a job-search feature
• Handling a difficult recruiter or client relationship
• SQL queries or coding problems for technology roles
• Walking through a past project or sales achievement in detail

Round 3: Hiring manager round

A senior team member or hiring manager checks ownership, communication skills and fit with a fast-paced internet product company, often through behavioural and situational questions about how you would approach ambiguous problems.

• Describe a time you owned a project end to end
• How you would prioritise features on a hiring platform
• How you would handle conflicting priorities from different stakeholders

Round 4: HR round

A concluding discussion covers compensation expectations, notice period, location preference, and offer and joining formalities, and is also your chance to ask questions about team structure and growth opportunities.

• Salary expectations and preferred location
• Reason for leaving your current organisation
