Retained search
One role, worked properly. Used for senior individual contributors and anything where a bad hire is expensive to unwind.
How we engage
Six ways in, depending on the mandate.
The screening is the same in all of them. What changes is the commercial shape and how much of your process we take on.
Leadership search
Tech leads through to VP Engineering, run confidentially. Most of the people worth talking to are not looking, which changes how the search has to work.
Contract & contract-to-hire
Migrations, platform work, a gap while a permanent search runs. Engineers who have done the specific thing before, live in weeks rather than months.
Embedded recruiting
We work inside your process as if we were your team, for a period. Sensible when you are hiring continuously but not ready to build an in-house function.
Team builds & GCC
Several engineers against one profile, or an India engineering centre from the first hire. Sequencing matters here more than volume.
Levelling & market reality
What the role actually pays in your market — and across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and the NCR — and whether the band you have approved can appoint the person you have described.
What working with us looks like
Our search process.
Six stages, the same on every search — including the one where we tell you a role cannot be filled as written.
- Phone screen
- A recruiter establishes role fit, availability, rate expectation, work authorisation and genuine interest before any technical time is spent.
- Technical interview
- A senior engineer interviews for hands-on depth — whether the candidate can actually do the work their CV claims.
- Design interview
- A lead or architect assesses architectural judgement and system-level thinking, which is what confirms the candidate's true seniority.
- Right to Represent
- A signed RTR is obtained from every candidate before submission — no duplicate submissions, and a single clean point of representation.
- Submission
- Only a candidate who has cleared every gate is recommended and submitted. Failure at any gate stops the process.
