Job portal website Naukri.com has reported a growing trend of permanent remote jobs on the website. Last year, the company launched a new feature for ‘permanent remote’ and temporary ‘work From home during COVID-19’. This feature allowed recruiters to post their jobs by specifying the nature of remote work i.e. permanent or temporary, to get better matches. 

Since then, Naukri.com has reported over 93,000 remote job opportunities listed by companies like Amazon, Tech Mahindra, TCS, Deloitte, Oracle, PWC, etc.

As per the job search patterns over the last six month on Naukri.com, over 32 lakh job searches for permanent and temporary remote jobs were made by Indian job seekers using the new filter. Out of these, about 57% of searches were made for permanent remote jobs during the same time, with the highest search i.e over 3.5 lakh being reported only in the month of December 2021.  

“At Naukri, we constantly observe the recruitment environment based on 10 million+ data points, and introduce features that enable relevant matchmaking between recruiters and jobseekers,” said Pawan Goyal, Chief Business Officer, Naukri.com.

In general, both large and small companies have posted all three types of jobs i.e. regular jobs, temporary work-from-home and totally remote jobs. Data reflects that IT Software, Software Services, ITeS and Recruitment/Staffing sectors are posting more permanently remote jobs. Some of the companies posting both temporary and permanent remote jobs are Amazon, Tech Mahindra, HCL, PWC, Trigent, Flipkart, Siemens, Deloitte, Oracle, Zensar, TCS, Capgemini etc.
