How to apply.
Best time of year to recruit in Assam & Meghalaya
Post-appraisal (Jan–Mar) and mid-year surge (Jul–Sep) are strongest. Avoid the festive slowdown (Oct–Nov) and summer lull (May–Jun).
Common mistakes that reduce response quality
Loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.
"Accounts Officer — Guwahati — ₹5–8L" gets read; "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.
A Shillong role placed only in the Guwahati edition reaches the wrong audience.
2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate significantly more response than a single run.
Age limits (use "2–5 years experience"), gender language ("Male only," "Salesman"), appearance references ("fair complexion," "good-looking"), regional exclusions ("Locals only"), and misleading titles. Eastern Chronicle's editorial team reviews ads before publication.
Eastern Chronicle is an accepted publication for mandatory disclosures at courts, company registrars, and government departments throughout Assam and Meghalaya.
