How India's hiring is moving
This is the first snapshot in the series (July 2026 ). The Pulse is captured on a cadence, so genuine quarter-over-quarter trend deltas — listing growth, remote-share shift, salary movement — will appear here from the next snapshot onward. We don't manufacture a trend from a single data point.
How the Hiring Pulse is compiled
Every figure is aggregated at publication time from OnJob.io's own live job feed — 22501 active listings from 1458+ employers. We count live demand by city, sector, employment type and experience level, and report remote and fresher share. Experience-level percentages use only the 806 listings that state a level, so the denominator is honest. These are indicative signals from current openings, not a closed survey panel, and the snapshot regenerates as roles are posted or expire. Free to cite under CC BY 4.0 with attribution to OnJob.io.
