Questions

GCC hiring questions.

What is a GCC?

A Global Capability Centre is an offshore unit owned by a global company that delivers finance, analytics, technology or operations for the parent.

Can you help hire the first leader for a new GCC?

Yes. Founding leadership hires are usually run as retained, confidential searches with a market map shared before the shortlist.

Which cities do you cover?

We are based in Bengaluru and support GCC hiring in Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai and other agreed locations.

How are GCC recruitment fees structured?

Fees depend on the role, seniority, number of positions and engagement model. Terms are shared in writing before the search begins.

How long does it take to build a GCC team in India?

It depends on the roles and seniority. A site head usually takes longer to hire than analyst or associate roles, so most GCC mandates start with the leader and hire the wider team in phases. We agree a hiring plan and expected timelines in writing before the search starts.

What is the difference between a GCC and an outsourcing vendor?

A GCC is owned and run by the global parent company, so its team works for the parent's own Indian entity. An outsourcing vendor delivers services under a contract. GCC hires usually need to understand the parent's processes, stakeholders and standards.

Which roles do you hire for GCCs?

Site and centre heads, finance and controllership leaders, FP&A, analytics and data engineering, and AI and ML roles. The roles table above shows typical functions and seniority.

Do we need an Indian entity before we start hiring?

Not always. Some companies use an employer-of-record arrangement or a partner while the entity is set up, and we can run the search in parallel. Confirm legal and tax set-up with your own advisers.
