What is a job portal website and how do I build one in India?

A job portal connects employers posting vacancies with job seekers applying for positions. India has 500 million+ working-age population and growing digital job market. Build a job portal on WordPress: install WP Job Manager plugin (free core), add premium extensions for resume uploads, application tracking, and employer dashboards. Alternatively, use Careerify theme or Jobify theme (purpose-built for job portals). Key features: employer registration (post jobs), candidate registration (upload resume, apply), job categories, location-based search, email notifications for new matching jobs, and application tracking system. India-specific requirements: filter by state, city, salary range in INR, job type (full-time/part-time/WFH), and skills. Razorpay integration for employer posting fees (charge Rs 500-2,000 per job post). For vertical job portals (only IT jobs in NE India, only healthcare jobs in Assam) — niche portals build audience faster than competing with Naukri/LinkedIn directly. Host on Connect Quest VPS (4 GB RAM recommended) for reliable performance. Setup at connectquest.co.in.
