HR & Recruiter salary in India (2026)

Based on 15 live hr & recruiter jobs on OnJob.io that disclose pay, the median hr & recruiter salary in India is ₹3L per year (₹3,00,000). Most hr & recruiter roles fall between ₹2L and ₹5.5L, with the full range running from ₹1.5L to ₹68L. These are real, current listings — not a generic survey.

Yes. The ₹1.5L–₹68L range is computed from every live hr & recruiter listing on OnJob that discloses pay, which mixes entry-level, mid and senior openings. That is why the lower quartile (₹2L) sits well below the median — fresher and junior hr & recruiter roles cluster near the bottom of the band, while senior roles pull the top up.

We aggregate the disclosed pay on 15 live hr & recruiter jobs currently listed on OnJob.io, convert every figure to an annual INR amount, and report the minimum, quartiles, median and maximum. We only count INR roles that publish a salary, and the numbers update automatically as jobs are added or expire — so the band always reflects what employers are paying right now.
