Starting price

Where they pull apart

en Japan

Stands out: Every posting is built from an en director's interview with the employer and written by a specialist copywriter, and en has won the national job ad award's job site category three years running. en says it ranked first in Oricon's job site customer satisfaction survey every year from 2018 to 2025.

Watch out: The site and sales process are in Japanese, and hiring is aimed at roles based in Japan. There is no public rate card, so budgeting starts with a call or a price list download.

Not the right fit for

  • Hiring outside Japan
  • Non-Japanese-speaking recruiting teams
  • Employers wanting a self-serve post with a public price

Naukri

Stands out: Classified is INR 400 non-metro or INR 850 metro, with a 250-character description cap. Hot Vacancy is INR 1,650 per post across all cities, with branding, boosts, and no word limit.

Watch out: Resdex CV search is a separate packaged buy, not included in a Classified post. Job seekers browse free. This is an India hiring channel, not a US board.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only employers that need a USD job-board rate card
  • Teams that only want a resume database and do not want to buy Resdex separately

Pros and cons

en Japan

  • Large, young member base of 12M+

  • Japanese-language site and sales
  • Japan-only audience

Naukri

  • Printed Classified floor at INR 400 for non-metro posts
  • Hot Vacancy at INR 1,650 adds branding and search-page boosts
  • Resdex remains the largest India recruiter CV database next to the board
  • No USD rate card, so US finance teams cannot budget off a dollar table
  • Classified caps descriptive fields at about 250 characters
  • Resdex search is not bundled into the INR 400 post
