Recruitment Column

How to Post a Job Ad in The People's Chronicle

The People's Chronicle is a recruitment column. We reach English-speaking professionals in Imphal, Churachandpur, Vasco and Manipur as a whole who rely on the publication for jobs in hospitality, tourism, government and local business.

What to Include in the Ad

→ Job title — first two words, not buried in paragraph three

→ Company or organisation name, unless it's a confidential search

→ Key qualifications and years of experience

→ Location — city, hybrid, or remote (be specific)

→ Salary range — this matters more than anything else

→ How to apply — email, portal link, or phone

Best time of year to recruit

Jan–Mar and Sep–Oct: HIGH — post-appraisal switch intent and pre-tourist-season hospitality hiring surge. Monsoon (Jun–Aug): off-season slowdown for tourism-linked roles.

Why your Job Ad isn't getting applications

  • ✕ Wrong day: Tuesday or Wednesday reaches a general audience. Always request Friday or Sunday.
  • ✕ No salary range: Loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.
  • ✕ Vague job title: "Front Office Manager — Imphal — ₹5–8L" gets clicked; "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.
  • ✕ Ad too short: A 3-line ad doesn't let a qualified candidate self-select. Aim for 8–12 lines.
  • ✕ Only ran once: 2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate significantly more response.
Run an ad that underperformed? Call 9821984000 — tell us what ran and how many responses you got. No charge for that conversation.

⚠️ Terms to Avoid — Legal Compliance

The editorial team reviews ads. Discriminatory language gets the ad rejected:
✕ Age limits — use "2–5 years experience" instead
✕ Gender language — "Male only," "Salesman"
✕ Appearance — "fair complexion," "good-looking"
✕ Marital status — "married preferred"
✕ Regional exclusions — "Locals only"
✕ Misleading titles — dressing up cold-call sales as "executive"

Sunday Classifieds

The People's Chronicle Matrimonial Ad Guide

The Sunday edition has a high surge in readership compared to other days. It is used by families across Manipur to look for matches. A weekday ad is seen by a general audience; a Sunday ad is seen by people actively searching. Reserve 2–4 back-to-back Sundays for increasing response week to week.

What is the best day to book a matrimonial ad? +

What is the obituary ad rate? +

Can I book an ad on the same day? +

For classified text categories — yes, if content is confirmed before 12 PM. Recruitment display — no, 3 working days minimum. Call 9821984000 directly for same-day urgent bookings.

What is the cheapest way to advertise? +

A rough draft is all we need for a formatted quote. For repeat visibility at the lowest per-insertion cost, a multi-Sunday matrimonial or recruitment package beats booking single insertions. Call 9821984000 for budget options.

Is Riyo Advertising an authorised booking partner? +

Yes — authorised for The People's Chronicle and other Manipur regional titles. Agency rates, 8,000+ ads booked since 2003.

Does my print ad appear online too? +

Yes — automatically, at no extra cost. Your ad appears in the e-paper edition, making public notices and classifieds also searchable online.

Where does The People's Chronicle circulate? +

Published from Imphal and distributed across Imphal, Churachandpur, Vasco, Mapusa, Ponda, and the rest of North and South Manipur. It's a single-edition daily, so every booking reaches the full statewide readership. Call 9821984000 to add complementary Manipur titles to the same booking.

Why do salary ranges matter so much in job ads? +

Candidates filter by salary before reading anything else. Without a salary range, you lose 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately. Even a broad range — ₹5L–₹8L — outperforms "salary commensurate with experience" every time.
