Recruitment Guide

How to Post a Job Ad in Lokmat Times

Caters to English-speaking professionals in Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Nashik who rely on the Situation Vacant column.

What to put in the ad body

→ Job title: First two words, not buried in paragraph three.
→ Company name: Unless it's a confidential search.
→ Qualifications: Key credentials and experience required.
→ Location: City, hybrid, or remote (be specific).
→ Salary range: This matters more than anything else.
→ How to apply: Email, portal link, or phone number.

Why your Lokmat Times job ad isn't getting applications

✕ Wrong day: Mid-week reach is general. Request Friday or Sunday insertions.
✕ No salary range: Loses 30–40% of candidates immediately in Central Maharashtra.
✕ Wrong edition: Nashik vacancy booked in Nagpur edition reaches the wrong city.
✕ Vague job title: "Accounts Manager — Nagpur — ₹7–10L" gets read; "Staff Needed" is ignored.
✕ Only ran once: 2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate significantly more responses.

Hiring Intent Seasonality

🔴 HIGH
Jan–Mar: Post-appraisal
Highest job-switch intent period
🔴 HIGH
Jul–Sep: Mid-year surge
Mid-year hiring surge; academic-year appointments
AVOID
Oct (Diwali) & May: Slowdowns
Festive slowdowns and summer lulls reduce responses

⚠️ Legal Compliance Checklist

✕ Gender language — "Male only," "Salesman"
✕ Appearance — "fair complexion," "good-looking"
✕ Regional exclusions — "Locals only"

What will it cost me?

Rates, formats, and how the price is set

Q. What are Lokmat Times classified ad rates in Nagpur in 2026?
Lokmat Times classified ad text runs ₹1,100–₹1,450 for 5 lines (matrimonial, recruitment), ₹1,050 (property), ₹900 (obituary). Lokmat Times classified display ad rates run ₹210/sq.cm (obituary) to ₹500/sq.cm (recruitment), minimum 3×5 cm.
