IT, Software & ITES

Our largest practice — spanning software, hardware, infrastructure, cloud, data and emerging tech for product companies, services majors, GCCs and startups.

Sector overview

How we think about this sector

IT and ITES hiring in India is a moving target — GCC expansion, product-company scaling, AI-native startups and services-major re-skilling are all competing for the same talent pool.

Our recruiters are aligned by technology stack, not just seniority — so a Node/Python role goes to a recruiter who understands the ecosystem, not a generalist.

Hiring challenges we solve

The problems clients bring us

01

GCC ramp-ups

Hiring 50–200 engineers in 90 days for a new GCC without breaking your compensation bands or diluting quality.

02

Niche and emerging-tech scarcity

Roles in VLSI, embedded systems, ML platform engineering and cybersecurity architecture have thin talent pools — they need targeted headhunting, not job posts.

03

Leadership hires with builder DNA

Practice heads, delivery heads and CTOs who can build teams, not just manage them — a search rather than a recruitment exercise.

Our approach

How we deliver in IT, Software & ITES

A repeatable model refined across hundreds of mandates — with founder involvement on every meaningful role.

Step 1

Founder-led role intake

Every mandate starts with a working session led by a founder — we internalise the hiring manager's context, team dynamic and non-negotiables before a single CV moves.

Step 2

Targeted market mapping

We map talent pools by employer, geography, compensation band and reporting structure — passive candidates get as much attention as active applicants.

Step 3

Calibrated shortlists

Typically 3–5 well-briefed candidates per role, screened for competence, intent, mobility and cultural alignment. No bulk CV dumps.

Step 4

Closure and post-offer engagement

We stay engaged through offer negotiation, notice period and joining — reducing drop-outs and protecting your hiring ROI.

What you receive

Deliverables in every engagement

  • Stack-aligned recruiters mapped to your mandate from day one
  • Talent maps of competitor orgs with reporting hierarchies
  • Technical screening coordination with your engineering leaders
  • Offer-to-join tracking with fortnightly retention check-ins
