How to Increase Interview Calls by Applying on Company Career Pages
In today’s competitive job market, getting interview calls can often feel challenging. While platforms like Naukri.com and LinkedIn are popular for job searches, applying directly through company career pages can significantly enhance your chances of landing an interview. In this post, we’ll explore effective strategies to increase your interview calls by leveraging both job portals and company websites.
1. Start with Job Portals
Login to Naukri and LinkedIn
Begin your job search by logging into job portals like Naukri.com or LinkedIn. These platforms provide a wealth of opportunities and allow you to filter jobs by various criteria.
Search for Companies and Designations
Utilize the search functionality to find current openings that match your skills and interests. By filtering based on your desired job title and location, you can quickly identify potential opportunities.
Apply via Job Portals
Once you find suitable openings, submit your applications directly through these platforms. They often serve as a primary channel for companies to receive applications, making it an important first step.

2. Leverage Company Career Pages
Identify Openings from Job Portals
After discovering a company through job portals, visit their official career page. Many companies post exclusive job listings that may not appear on job boards.
Register on Company Websites
Most companies require you to create a profile to apply for jobs directly on their sites. Fill out your profile thoroughly, ensuring your resume and cover letter are updated and tailored to the positions you are interested in.
Set Job Alerts
Sign up for job alerts on the company’s career page. This will ensure you receive notifications about new openings that align with your qualifications, allowing you to apply promptly.

3. The Benefits of Direct Applications
Priority in Future Openings
Applying directly on a company’s career portal can give you a competitive edge. Your profile is saved in their database, which means they may reach out to you for future job openings that fit your skills before publicly advertising them.
Direct Access to HR
When you apply through the company’s portal, your application often goes straight to their HR team. This direct line of communication can enhance your visibility and improve your chances of being shortlisted.

Follow Up on Applications
After submitting your application, consider following up with a polite email or message via LinkedIn. Express your enthusiasm for the role and inquire about the status of your application.
Networking
