Majority of Indian job seekers open to new roles but unsure what to search for: LinkedIn report

Despite 67% of Indian professionals expressing interest in new job opportunities, most are unclear about what job titles or industries they should explore, according to a new report by LinkedIn.

The report highlights that while 65% of professionals said they can articulate their career goals to a friend, they struggle to translate those aspirations into specific job searches, PTI reported. Additionally, 64% find job search filters confusing, further complicating their efforts to identify suitable roles.

“Two-thirds (67 per cent) of professionals in India say they’re open to new opportunities, however, they don’t know what job titles or industries to search for,” the report noted.

A significant 74% of respondents said they wish they could discover roles they hadn’t thought to search for—underscoring the growing mismatch between job seeker intent and traditional search methods.
