Qualitative context that changes how a Bengaluru brief is written. Nothing here is a market statistic.
Dedicated recruitment capability
Dedicated search, passive market mapping and assessment across twelve dimensions, ending in a shortlist of five profiles at most with written synopses.
The roles we recruit
Technology and product leaders, senior and staff engineers, AI and machine learning practitioners, product managers and product designers.
Hiring support for businesses
One critical hire, several hires or a first team. A founder responds to every brief, and placements carry a 90-day replacement guarantee.
Production AI concentrates here
Engineers who have shipped and run AI systems in production are found in Bengaluru more than anywhere else in India, so we assess shipped systems rather than titles.
Competition for senior people
Staff and principal engineers and product leaders are approached constantly. A credible reason to move, and an offer that survives a counter-offer, decide the outcome.
Unknown employers carry more risk
A company without a local brand faces higher attrition risk because new hires stay open to the next call. Retention starts in the way the search is run.
