How we work with you

Four engagement models, one standard of delivery.

Contingent and retained

Cross-border placement

We source India-based talent for international delivery teams and offshore functions. India offers a deep, English-fluent, qualified workforce across legal support, finance, technology, operations, marketing, and administration, at a meaningful cost advantage to onshore equivalents. We manage the full hiring cycle, end to end, to the quality standard your firm expects.

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.

Best for

Employers building or scaling offshore capacity, delivery teams, and captive functions.

Contingent

Domestic mid-senior search

Mid-to-senior hiring for employers building teams within India. We apply the same structured intake, sourcing, and shortlisting process regardless of whether the role is cross-border or domestic. The India talent market is competitive at the senior level. Our process surfaces candidates who are not actively looking.

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.

Best for

Companies hiring locally in India across all sectors.

Retained, staged fees

Retained executive search

Exclusive, staged engagements for senior and leadership roles. Fees are structured in thirds: engagement, shortlist, and completion. Retained mandates give us the time and exclusivity to run a thorough, market-wide search rather than a database exercise. These mandates receive senior-level attention throughout.

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.

Best for

Critical or confidential senior and leadership hires where quality of outcome is the priority.

Monthly retainer with reduced per-hire rates

Managed hiring capacity

A monthly retainer model for clients with high, ongoing role volume. The retainer buys dedicated sourcing and delivery capacity against an agreed scope of roles. Per-hire rates are reduced against the contingent equivalent. This model works best once a hiring relationship is established and role profiles are well-calibrated.

Best for

Clients with sustained, repeatable hiring needs who want a predictable cost model.

The process in detail

1

Intake and role calibration

We spend time upfront understanding the role, the team, the success profile, and what has and has not worked in previous hiring rounds. This calibration drives everything downstream.

2

Sourcing and structured screening

We source across job boards, professional databases, referrals, and direct approach. Every candidate is screened against the calibration brief before they reach your desk.

3

Curated shortlist with written summaries

You receive a shortlist, not a dump. Each candidate comes with a written summary covering their background, the match rationale, and any relevant context. Human-reviewed before submission.

4

Interview coordination across time zones

We manage scheduling across India, Australia, and other markets. Time zone complexity is our problem, not yours.

5

Offer management and post-placement follow-up

We manage the offer process and stay close through the guarantee period. If a placement does not work out within the agreed window, we replace at no additional cost.
