How we work
Hire the supervisor before the team.
Offshore teams fail when the only senior person is in Australia.
We push most clients to hire a manager in India first and build underneath them. Shortlists carry current pay in INR, notice period and the systems the candidate has actually used.
How we run a searchSetting it up
Employment, payroll and the compliance questions.
Your India hires are employed under Indian law, not the Fair Work Act.
Employer of record
Early hires sit on an EOR or our payroll, with offers written so moving to your own entity later changes nothing for the employee.
Indian statutory items
Provident fund and gratuity replace superannuation, notice periods of 30 to 90 days are normal, and awards and penalty rates do not apply.
Data and client confidentiality
Accounting firms usually need client-data terms and a confidentiality undertaking per candidate, which we raise at the brief.
Planning the hire
From brief to first day.
The search is the short part. Plan back from the start date you need.
Specialist role
Leadership role
- 30 days at junior levels
- 60 to 90 days at manager level and above
- Longer in financial services, sometimes
A specialist hire that opens in January is usually at a desk in April. We put the realistic joining date on the shortlist, next to the pay.
Questions
Questions Australia clients ask.
Do we need an Indian entity?
No. An employer of record or our staffing payroll covers the first hires, and we move people across when your entity is ready.
Does the Fair Work Act cover our India team?
No. Indian employees are covered by Indian employment law: provident fund, gratuity and notice period rather than superannuation and awards.
Can Indian accountants work in Xero and MYOB?
Many can, particularly those from Australian outsourcing providers in Ahmedabad, Pune and Bengaluru, and we screen for the specific stack.
How long does a search take?
Four to six weeks to a signed offer for specialist roles, six to ten for leadership, plus a 60 to 90 day notice period at senior levels.
How are your fees structured?
A percentage of annual fixed pay for contingency, a staged fee for retained leadership search, and a monthly rate for dedicated team hiring, all agreed in writing before the search starts.
