Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is aggregated from 7 live hr & recruiter jobs on OnJob.io that openly disclose pay. We take each listing's salary, convert it to an annual INR amount, and report the minimum, quartiles (p25/p75), median and maximum across them. We only count roles priced in INR, and we drop any value that falls outside a sane band so a single typo can't skew the result.
These are indicative market ranges, not guaranteed offers. Because the band is drawn from current openings, it updates automatically as hr & recruiter jobs are posted or expire — so it reflects what employers are paying right now, not a year-old survey. Your own number depends on your experience, skills, city and company tier.
