Recruitment & Talent Acquisition

Hiring that fills the role and keeps it filled

We run the search, the screening and the offer so that you only spend time on the shortlist. Every placement comes with a replacement guarantee period.

What this service is

Most owners we meet do not have a hiring problem. They have a time problem. Job posts bring hundreds of unsuitable profiles, calls go unanswered, candidates accept and then vanish before joining. Meanwhile the work that role was meant to do is not getting done.

Our recruitment service takes that whole load off you. We write the requirement with you, source from our own network and the major job portals, screen every candidate ourselves, coordinate interviews around your calendar, and stay involved until the person has joined and settled. If a placement leaves inside the guarantee period, we replace them at no extra fee.

We recruit across Chennai and Tamil Nadu for manufacturing, IT and ITES, logistics, healthcare, retail, education and professional services, from the shop floor to the leadership team.

Note: Fees

Recruitment fees are agreed in writing before the search begins and are payable only on successful joining. We never charge candidates. [CLIENT TO CONFIRM FEE STRUCTURE]

Who it is for

  • Owners hiring their first few employees

    You need a reliable person quickly and you do not have an HR team to run the process. We become that team for the duration of the search.

  • Companies scaling a plant, branch or project

    Twenty operators or forty telecallers by a fixed date. We run volume drives with assessment days and structured shortlisting so the deadline holds.

  • Businesses that need a specialist or a leader

    Finance heads, plant managers, compliance leads, niche engineers. We search discreetly and present a short list of people who are genuinely open to moving.

  • Firms that want to outsource hiring altogether

    Recruitment process outsourcing gives you a dedicated recruiter, weekly reporting and one point of accountability for every open role.

Where hires go wrong, and where we step in

Owners tell us the same four failure points again and again. The process above is built around preventing them.

  1. 1

    The wrong job description

    A role written as a wish list attracts nobody suitable. We write for the candidate you can actually hire at the budget you have.

  2. 2

    Unscreened profiles

    Portal downloads are not a shortlist. Every candidate we send has been spoken to and checked against the criteria you approved.

  3. 3

    Offer drop-outs

    Most candidates who disappear do so between offer and joining. We stay in contact through that window and tell you early if something changes.

  4. 4

    Early attrition

    If the person leaves inside the guarantee period, we replace them. That aligns our interest with yours: the right hire, not a quick one.

How the engagement works

Every search follows the same seven stages. The stages are the same whether we are hiring one accountant or forty operators; only the scale changes.

  1. 1

    Requirement discovery

    Day 1

    A 45-minute call or visit to understand the role, the team it sits in, the budget and what has gone wrong with previous hires. We write the job description and agree the screening criteria.

  2. 2

    Sourcing

    Days 1 to 5

    We activate our database, post on the portals that work for that role, and reach out directly to passive candidates where the role calls for it.

  3. 3

    Screening

    Days 3 to 8

    Every profile is screened by phone or video against the agreed criteria: experience, location, notice period, salary expectation and reason for moving.

  4. 4

    Shortlist and interviews

    Days 7 to 15

    You receive a shortlist with a one-page summary per candidate. We schedule interviews around your calendar and collect feedback the same day.

  5. 5

    Offer and negotiation

    We handle the salary conversation, counter-offer risk and notice period buy-out so that the offer you make is the offer that gets accepted.

  6. 6

    Pre-joining engagement

    Between offer and joining we stay in touch with the candidate, collect documents and flag any wobble early. This is where most drop-outs are prevented.

  7. 7

    Post-joining follow-up

    Guarantee period: [CLIENT TO CONFIRM, e.g. 90 days]

    Check-ins with you and the new hire at 30 and 90 days. If the placement leaves inside the guarantee period, the replacement search starts immediately at no extra fee.

What you receive

  • A written job description and screening scorecard for each role
  • A shortlist of screened candidates with summary notes and salary expectations
  • Interview scheduling handled end to end, with same-day feedback loops
  • Offer letter support and joining document checklist
  • Replacement guarantee period on every placement [CLIENT TO CONFIRM DURATION]
  • For RPO clients: a weekly hiring dashboard and monthly review
