2205 Receptionist Job Openings

Receptionist Jobs

India has 2205+ active receptionist openings right now, spanning corporate offices, hospitals, hotels, salons, coworking spaces, and schools. Pay typically runs ₹8,000–₹22,000 a month depending on the industry and city, with the busiest hiring in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Most postings accept 12th pass or graduate candidates with no prior front-desk experience, since employers train new hires on their booking software and call systems on the job. This page is updated for September 2026 and lists verified receptionist openings you can apply to directly, without a recruiter in between.

What Does a Receptionist Job Involve?

A receptionist manages the front desk of an office, clinic, hotel, or salon, greeting visitors, answering calls, scheduling appointments, and routing queries to the right department. The role sits at the entrance of almost every business, which is why it appears across such a wide mix of industries rather than one specific sector. A corporate receptionist handles courier logs, visitor badges, and meeting room bookings. A hospital receptionist manages patient registration and billing handoffs. A hotel front desk executive checks guests in and out and handles room assignments. The core skill set stays the same across all three: a calm phone manner, basic computer use, and the patience to handle a steady stream of people.

Receptionist Jobs for Freshers

Corporate offices, hospitals, and hospitality chains hire freshers into receptionist roles across India. Most postings accept 12th pass, diploma, or graduate candidates and provide 2–5 days of training on the visitor-management software or booking tool before a candidate starts independently. Grooming and spoken English matter more than a specific degree, which is why the role draws such a wide range of first-time job seekers.

What Employers Look For

The bar for a first receptionist job stays fairly consistent across cities and industries:

• Documents — a PAN card, Aadhaar card, and bank account are asked for at nearly every company before onboarding.
• Presentation and communication — a neat appearance and comfort speaking with strangers on the phone and in person matter more than technical skill.
• Computer basics — familiarity with MS Excel, MS Word, and simple data entry appears on most fresher listings, along with visitor-log or booking software the employer trains you on.
• Shift flexibility — day shifts dominate in offices and clinics, while hotel and hospital front desks often run rotational or 12-hour shifts.

Common Receptionist Roles

Receptionist listings split into a handful of recurring job titles, each with a slightly different day-to-day focus:

• Front Office Executive — the standard corporate-office title, covering visitor management, calls, and courier handling.
• Guest Relations Executive — the hotel-industry version, focused on check-in, check-out, and guest requests.
• Hospital Receptionist — patient registration, appointment scheduling, and coordination with billing staff.
• School or Clinic Receptionist — handles parent or patient queries, attendance records, and fee or billing desk support.

Receptionist Salary in India by City

Receptionist pay varies by city and by the type of employer, with hospitality and healthcare roles often running slightly ahead of standard office postings. Metro hubs like Bengaluru and Mumbai sit at the top of the range, while tier-2 cities run lower but stay within the same broad monthly band nationwide. The table below shows the typical range in ten major hiring cities, from freshers to candidates with a year or more of experience.

These figures are fixed pay and can rise with PF (Provident Fund), medical benefits, or a small incentive component at hotels and salons that tie part of the pay to guest feedback or walk-in conversions.

Why Receptionist Hiring Stays Steady Across Industries

Offices, clinics, and hotels that deal with walk-in visitors all need someone managing that first point of contact, which spreads receptionist demand across sectors rather than concentrating it in one. Coworking spaces such as WeWork and Awfis add front-desk seats as they open new centres, hospital chains add registration staff as they expand outpatient departments, and new hotel and salon openings create a steady stream of guest-facing roles. The role is also entry-level and learnable in days, so employers backfill it often rather than holding out for years of experience. A candidate who performs well for six months to a year typically qualifies for senior front-desk, guest relations, or office coordinator postings without changing employers. The role also serves as a common entry point into broader office administration, since a receptionist who picks up scheduling, vendor coordination, and basic HR support often moves into an office admin or HR coordinator title within the same company.

Part-Time and Flexible Receptionist Jobs

A share of receptionist listings across India offer part-time or flexible shifts, aimed at students, homemakers, and candidates who want a few hours a day rather than a full shift. Salons, clinics, and small offices are the most common source of these roles, since they need front-desk coverage during business hours without a full-time headcount. Fully remote receptionist work is rare, since the job depends on greeting people in person, but a small segment of virtual assistant and call-answering roles lets candidates handle bookings and queries by phone from home. Women candidates make up a large share of applicants for these flexible shifts, since a four-to-six-hour block fits around school pickups or a second job more easily than a full nine-hour office day.
