What hirist.tech does

hirist.tech is an India-based, privately operated job portal focused exclusively on technology roles, self-positioned as India's #1 IT job portal. The platform connects tech professionals — software engineers, developers, AI/ML specialists, DevOps engineers, and cybersecurity professionals — with recruiters from leading technology, e-commerce, and fintech companies. It claims over 50,000 active recruiters on the supply side and operates a web portal complemented by native iOS and Android applications, with coverage spanning 11+ Indian states and major tech hubs including Bangalore, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai.

The core product consists of job search and application functionality, curated 'Premium Handpicked Jobs' listings from verified recruiters, company showcase pages for featured employers, and extensive categorization by technology domain and skill. An adjacent hirist Blog provides SEO-driven content on interview preparation and career advice, and a hirist Learning Center offers executive and technology courses in partnership with institutions including IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Nagpur, ISB, SPJIMR, and Amity University, extending the platform into upskilling.

Revenue is generated through three undisclosed streams: recruiter job postings (described as subscription recurring), featured employer branding (advertising), and premium job listings (subscription recurring). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the candidate side is free. The company is private with no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, revenue figures, or management team in the source material, and operates solely within the Indian domestic market with no international footprint signaled.
