What US teams come to us for.

How we work
A shortlist you can take straight into a loop.
Four or five names, each with a note on fit and cost.
We interview before you do. Every profile carries current pay in INR, notice period, the reason for moving and how the experience maps onto US reporting standards.
How we run a searchSetting it up
Payroll, entity and the paperwork.
You do not need an Indian entity to make the first hire.
Employer of record
First hires go on an EOR or a staffing payroll, with offers written to transfer cleanly to your entity later.
Your own India entity
Once you have a private limited company and a payroll provider, we hire onto your books under Indian statutory norms.
Contract and IP
We flag the clauses US counsel asks about: IP assignment, non-solicit limits under Indian law and what a 90-day notice period does to your start date.
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 the US clients ask.
Can you hire in India if we have no Indian entity?
Yes. Most US clients make their first hires through an employer of record, then move people onto their own entity without resetting tenure or benefits.
How long does a search take?
Four to six weeks from brief to signed offer for specialist roles, six to ten for leadership, plus a notice period of 60 to 90 days.
Will candidates work US hours?
Many will take a 2pm to 11pm IST shift; full overnight shifts narrow the pool and cost 15 to 25 percent more.
What are your fees?
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 first.
