Hiring in Delhi NCR

Recruitment services in Delhi NCR for employers

Delhi, Gurugram and Noida hire as one region, across consumer internet, fintech, SaaS, enterprise and global capability centres. Talhive runs dedicated searches here, from one leader to a product or engineering team, and writes the brief for the region rather than for a postcode.

One region, three sub-markets

Three sub-markets that hire as a single region

Context for how a brief is written, not a claim about market size.

Candidates do not search by postcode.

A product manager living in Noida may take a role in Gurugram, and an engineer in Delhi may consider both. Splitting one brief into three local searches narrows the field without improving it.

Location still belongs in the brief.

Where the team sits and how often people must be there changes who says yes. We settle the working pattern at the start, so it is not a surprise at offer.

Gurgaon and Gurugram are the same place.

Employers and candidates use both spellings, so our outreach and briefs do too. Nothing in a search depends on which one a candidate happens to write.

Why Talhive in Delhi NCR

Why founders and talent heads choose Talhive here

Qualitative context that changes how a Delhi NCR brief is run. Nothing here is a market statistic.

Dedicated search, not contingent

A small number of mandates at a time, passive market mapping, and milestone-based fees agreed before work starts.

Twelve dimensions before a shortlist

Every candidate is assessed across twelve dimensions, and you see five profiles at most, each with a written synopsis.

Leaders, product and engineering

Executive search, product managers and heads of product, and engineers assessed on what they have shipped and run.

Consumer internet, fintech and SaaS

These employers compete for the same product and technology people, so a brief needs a clear proposition as well as a clear role.

Enterprise and capability centres

Global capability centres and enterprise teams often need a leader first. We recruit the leader and then the team that follows.

A founder responds to every brief

One hire, several hires or a first team. Placements carry a 90-day replacement guarantee.

Frequently asked

Gurgaon or Gurugram, Delhi or Noida: your questions

Plain answers to the questions we hear most often about this search.

Yes. Gurgaon is the older name and Gurugram the official one, and employers and candidates use both. We use both in briefs and outreach so that nothing is missed, and we treat Gurugram, Delhi and Noida as one hiring region.
Start with the problem. A leadership appointment points to executive search, a product manager or head of product to product recruitment, and a backend, platform or data engineer to engineering recruitment. If your need is broader, the general Delhi NCR recruitment page is a good first stop.
Usually not. Candidates move between the three sub-markets, so one brief for the region reaches more of the right people. Where a role must sit in one place, we say so in the brief and test it with candidates early.
We recruit the leaders, product managers and engineers, usually starting with the lead hire. How you employ them, through your own entity, an employer of record or a partner, is a separate decision, so take legal and employment advice before the search begins.
Searches are dedicated rather than contingent, with milestone-based fees agreed before work starts. Placements carry a 90-day replacement guarantee. The exact structure is set once we understand the brief.
