Release: A new report by Internet and Mobile Association of India says that job search is one of the key five activites by internet users in India. The others include email, surfing, chatting, and search. Since 2004-05, the number of internet users seeking jobs online has increased by 71 per cent from 3.8 million in 2004-05 to 6.5 million in 2005-06. To put that in perspective, India’s internet subscriber base stands at 38.5 million, according to IAMAI’s latest estimates.
The survey further says the number of job seekers online is expected to cross 9.2 million this year (2006-07), which will take the estimated market size of the Indian online recruitment industry to Rs 241 crore from Rs 145 crore in 2005-06. The industry is also likely to maintain a year on year growth in excess of 60 per cent.
