Hindustan Times reaches an English-speaking, professional audience across North India through HT Careers, the dedicated Wednesday recruitment supplement. Getting the execution right is everything.

Company name, unless it's a confidential search

How to apply
Best Time of Year to Recruit
Post-appraisal (Jan–Mar) and mid-year/academic surge (Jul–Sep) are strongest. Avoid the festive season and summer lull (Oct and May).
Common mistakes that reduce response quality
A random weekday reaches a general audience. Always request Wednesday's HT Careers slot.
Loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.
A Delhi-based role placed only in the Lucknow edition reaches the wrong audience.
"Software Engineer — Delhi — ₹8–12L" gets read. "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.
A display ad with your company logo outperforms plain text for HT Careers' professional readership.
2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate significantly more cumulative response.
Age limits (use "2–5 years experience"), gender language ("Male only," "Salesman"), appearance references, marital status preferences, regional exclusions ("Locals only"), and misleading titles. Hindustan Times' editorial desk rejects ads containing these.
It is the most heavily responded-to newspaper section of the week – families seek matches every Sunday morning in the HT Matrimonial Sunday supplement. A weekday ad is seen by a general audience; a Sunday ad is seen by a searching audience. The 2–4 consecutive Sundays method is the most effective; people hear each week, and there are Book 2 Get 2 Free offers, so the 4-week run is half the cost.
