92Career is a career development platform that combines job listings, personalized skill assessments, resume tools, and mentorship programs in one place. Founded in India in 2009, it serves job seekers at every stage — from fresh graduates to mid-career professionals. The free plan covers the basics. The Pro plan unlocks mentor matching, advanced analytics, and priority job alerts.
Most job platforms do one thing. They list jobs, and you apply. 92Career tries to do more — it positions itself as a full-cycle career tool, from figuring out what you want to do, all the way to landing the role. Whether that pitch holds up depends heavily on what you actually need from a platform like this. This review breaks down the features, pricing, who benefits most, and where the platform falls short.
What 92Career Actually Is
Vijay Sharma and Amit Bansal founded 92Career in India in 2009. The platform was built to address a gap that most job boards ignore: job seekers don’t just need listings, they need direction. The platform now serves users across career stages and industries, with a database covering thousands of job listings updated daily alongside learning tools that run parallel to the job search process.
92Career does not try to be a social network. It does not replicate the professional profile broadcasting model that LinkedIn built. Instead, it focuses on the individual user’s career path — assessing where you are, helping you build toward where you want to go, and connecting you with listings and mentors relevant to that direction.
The Features Worth Your Attention
Career Assessment and Job Matching
When you sign up, 92Career walks you through a career assessment. You answer questions about your skills, interests, values, and personality traits. The platform then generates career path recommendations based on your responses and matches you with relevant job listings from its database.
This is genuinely useful for someone at a crossroads — a recent graduate who doesn’t know which direction to pursue, or a professional in year six of a role wondering if a switch makes sense. The assessment does not give you a vague Myers-Briggs personality label. It produces career-specific output tied directly to live job categories.
The job alert system builds on this. You set your preferences — role type, location, salary range, remote or on-site — and the platform pushes matching opportunities to you directly. The database includes government, private sector, and remote listings, which is broader than many India-focused platforms manage.
Mentorship, Networking, and Virtual Events
The mentorship program is 92Career’s most talked-about feature and also the one that requires the most honest scrutiny. The platform matches users with experienced professionals in their chosen field. You can message mentors, schedule sessions, and ask for guidance on career decisions, interview preparation, or industry navigation.
In practice, mentor availability varies. If you work in a field with strong 92Career representation — technology, finance, marketing — you will likely find an active mentor pool. Niche industries are harder to navigate. This is worth knowing before you pay for a Pro subscription specifically for mentor access.
The platform also runs virtual networking events and hosts an online professional community. For users who find cold networking difficult, these structured environments lower the barrier to making meaningful connections.
Resume Builder, Interview Prep, and Goal Tracking
The resume builder produces professional, clean output without requiring design skills. You fill in the sections, choose a template, and download. The templates are functional rather than stylish, which suits most hiring contexts — especially government or corporate applications where a flashy resume works against you.
Interview preparation resources cover both common question formats and industry-specific scenarios. You can use them passively (reading through guides) or actively (mock questions with suggested answers). The goal-tracking feature lets you set career milestones and monitor your progress against them over time. This is the kind of accountability tool that sounds minor but genuinely changes behavior when you use it consistently.
92Career Pricing: Free Plan vs. Pro
| Feature | Free Plan | Pro Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Job listings & alerts | Basic access | Priority alerts, expanded filters |
| Career assessments | Standard | Full assessment suite |
| Resume builder | Included | Included with premium templates |
| Mentor matching | Limited | Full access |
| Course & certification access | Limited | Broader library |
| Analytics & progress tracking | Basic | Detailed |
| Pricing | Free | ~$19.99/month |
The free plan gives you enough to explore the platform before committing. If you plan to use it as a daily job search tool or rely on mentor access, the Pro plan is worth evaluating for a month to test whether the mentor pool in your field is active enough to justify the cost.
Enterprise pricing is available for employers and recruiters who want to use the platform’s employer-side tools for posting jobs and screening candidates.
How 92Career Stacks Up Against LinkedIn and Indeed

| Mentor matching | Yes | No (informal only) | No |
| Job listings | Yes | Yes | Yes |

92Career’s edge over LinkedIn and Indeed sits specifically in the assessment and mentorship layer. LinkedIn is the stronger networking platform. Indeed is the stronger pure job board. 92Career is a stronger career development tool, particularly for users who want structured guidance rather than just a list of openings.
If you already have a strong network and know exactly what role you want, LinkedIn or Indeed will likely serve you faster. If you need help figuring out your direction — or want accountability and mentorship alongside your search — 92Career adds something the other two do not.
Who Gets the Most Value from 92Career
Recent graduates benefit most from the assessment and direction tools. If you finish a degree unsure which career path fits your skills, the assessment + job matching combination gives you a structured starting point rather than an overwhelming list of options.
Mid-career professionals considering a switch will find the mentor matching most useful. Having access to someone already working in your target field shortens the learning curve significantly and helps you ask smarter questions during interviews.
Career changers will appreciate the skill development resources and certifications, especially if they need to demonstrate competence in a new area before applying for roles.
Employers and recruiters can use the platform’s posting tools to reach candidates who are genuinely engaged in their career development — often a stronger signal of motivation than a passive job board applicant.
What 92Career Gets Right — and Where It Falls Short
The platform does an above-average job of connecting assessment data to actionable output. Most career tools give you a personality profile and leave you to figure out the rest. 92Career uses your assessment results to surface relevant jobs, courses, and mentors, which keeps the experience practical rather than abstract.
The job database is updated daily and covers a range from entry-level to senior professional roles. Government job listings are a notable inclusion — a category most Western job platforms underserve.
Where the platform struggles: mentor quality and availability depend entirely on which industries are well-represented in the user base. Niche field professionals may find limited options. The mobile app performs reliably for job searching and alerts, but some of the deeper features — like goal tracking and mentor sessions — work better on desktop.
The career database also skews toward Indian market roles, which is logical given its origin, but worth knowing if you search primarily for international positions.
92Career is not the right tool if you want a passive job board. It works for people willing to engage with the process — take the assessment, track their goals, and actually use the mentor connection once it’s made. For that type of user, it delivers more than most platforms at a comparable price point.
