Questions employers ask us before signing a mandate

For permanent roles we work on contingency: a percentage of the candidate's annual CTC, invoiced only after they join. The percentage depends on the seniority and difficulty of the role, and is agreed in writing before the search starts. Retained executive search is billed in stages across the mandate, contract staffing carries a monthly markup on CTC, and RPO is a fixed monthly retainer. There is never an upfront fee for contingency hiring.

For most mid-level roles we share a screened shortlist within 48 working hours of the requirement being signed off. Niche technical roles and leadership mandates typically take five to seven working days because of the depth of market mapping involved.

Every permanent placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee from the date of joining. If the candidate leaves or is found unsuitable in that window, we rerun the search and provide a replacement at no additional professional fee. Longer guarantee periods can be agreed for retained leadership mandates.

We hire across IT and software, BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare and pharma, retail and e-commerce, logistics, telecom, education, real estate, hospitality, automotive and BPO or shared services. Our consultants cover Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and tier-2 and tier-3 cities across India, and we can source for 100+ locations on request.

Yes. We run volume hiring drives, walk-in events and campus recruitment programmes for 50 to 500+ positions, including assessments, venue and logistics coordination, offer roll-out and joining follow-up. For contract headcount we also hold the payroll and statutory compliance.

Yes. Under contract and temporary staffing the worker is on our payroll. We manage PF, ESIC, professional tax, monthly challans, onboarding documentation and audit-ready records, so your compliance exposure stays with us rather than with your team.

A job portal gives you access to applications and leaves the sourcing, screening, coordination and closing to your team. A recruitment consultancy does that work for you: we reach passive candidates who are not applying anywhere, screen on skill and intent, manage the interview process and take ownership of the closure — and with contingency hiring you pay only for a result.

No. Our services are completely free for candidates. We are paid by the hiring company, so no candidate should ever be asked for money at any stage of the process.
