Frequently Asked Questions

The questions clients
actually ask us.

How quickly can you fill a role?
For most mid-management roles, our average time-to-shortlist is 7–10 working days, and time-to-fill ranges between 18 and 30 days depending on seniority and location. Niche or leadership mandates may take longer — we set expectations transparently at the start of every engagement.
What's the difference between direct hire and flexi staffing?
Direct hire is permanent placement on your payroll. Flexi staffing is contract or project-based deployment where the candidate sits on our payroll, and we manage compliance, salary processing, and statutory filings. We help you pick the right model for each role.
Which industries do you specialize in?
Technology, startups, manufacturing, BFSI, healthcare, retail and e-commerce, professional services, and logistics. Within each, we have specialist consultants who understand the role profiles, salary benchmarks, and talent supply.
How do you handle compliance for flexi staffing?
End-to-end. We manage offer letters, contracts, monthly payroll, PF, ESI, professional tax, gratuity, statutory filings, and audits. You get a single monthly invoice. Your exposure to labor-law risk is zero.
Can you scale a team quickly?
Yes. We've scaled flexi teams from 20 to 100+ within a quarter for manufacturing and operations clients. Our pre-built sourcing pipelines and bench model let us deploy fast without sacrificing screening rigor.
What is your typical engagement model?
Direct hire: success-based fee on offer acceptance, with a 90-day replacement guarantee. Flexi staffing: monthly per-resource billing with full statutory coverage. Consulting: scoped retainers or project-based engagements.
Do you serve companies outside metro cities?
Yes. Active sourcing reach across 12+ Indian cities including tier-2 manufacturing and operations hubs. We've delivered roles in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, and beyond.
