Looking for a Naukri Resdex Alternative?
Naukri RecDB, commonly known as Resdex, is Naukri.com's recruiter-facing resume database — the product most Indian recruiters mean when they compare against Naukri, rather than the general Naukri.com job board. Resdex gives access to a very large resume database, but it doesn't publish self-serve pricing, and outreach to shortlisted candidates is done manually by the recruiter.
| Feature | Hire22.ai | Naukri RecDB (Resdex) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Free to post a job and browse ranked candidate previews; unlocking full profiles needs a hiring package starting at ₹1,999 | Not published for self-serve; third-party sources report entry packages from roughly ₹55,000 per quarter up to several lakhs annually for larger plans |
| Free tier | Job posting and candidate preview browsing are free with no separate trial | No public self-serve free tier — pricing is quote-based |
| Candidate ranking | JoinX AI scores and ranks candidates against the job automatically | Search is primarily keyword/boolean and manual filtering |
| Candidate outreach | CoNCT AI can automate initial candidate engagement | Outreach to shortlisted profiles is done manually by the recruiter |
| Best suited for | Startups and SMBs that want fast, self-serve hiring without a sales cycle | Large enterprises with dedicated recruiting teams and budget for an annual contract |
When Naukri RecDB (Resdex) might be the better fit
If you need access to a very large, established resume database and already have an in-house team to run manual search and outreach at high volume, Resdex's scale and enterprise account management may fit better than a self-serve tool.
By Jais Augus, Head of Recruitment & Talent at Hire22.ai · Updated August 2026. "Most teams we talk to already have a Resdex seat sitting unused because nobody wants to run manual boolean searches every week — that's the gap we built Hire22 to close."
