ABOUTRecruiteX is the recruitment index for India. It is an analysis identifying the hiring activity and trends in India Inc. Based on tactful extraction and examination of jobs posted and applied for in a month, it details 'recruitment' as a process backed by hiring sentiments of a recruiter and aspirations of a job seeker. It is the only report which decodes the hiring trends in the country after evaluating the demand and supply of talent across industries.

METHODOLOGYRecruiteX represents both demand and supply aspects of recruitment. Demand for talent is computed by factoring activities of recruiters on TimesJobs.com. The supply of talent is representative of activities conducted by job seekers on TimesJobs.com.

This demand and supply data is integrated with numbers collected by our offline team and then segregated according to top industry verticals, functional areas and locations.

The base value for the index has been kept at 100 for the month of December 2010. All RecruiteX values for subsequent months represent the trend of RecruiteX viz-a-viz December 2010.

RecruiteX, in its most comprehensible format, is aimed to provide a detailed insight of the recruitment market in India to employers, recruiters and job seekers alike.
