Helping a NASDAQ listed company in the US build their engineering team in India
Introduction

Our client is a US based consumer tech business.

They had plans to expand their operations into India, the client sought to build a dedicated tech team from scratch to support their growing portfolio of projects and capitalize on the talent pool in the region.

Problem Statement

They wanted to hire the workforce on payroll of an “employer on record" but keep the talent bar as high as their global standards.

They had a challenge to remotely run the interview process at speed and scale.

They also had very limited understanding of the typical shorter stints in profiles of engineers in India

Analysis

Our client was ready to pay top dollar for most of the roles and therefore the challenge was to attract top talent who were to be hired not directly on the payroll of the company.

We had to keep the bar very high and stick to a narrative that would instill confidence in the candidates to feel as a part of the global team and work in a collaborative environment with them.

Solution Implementation

Market Mapping: We performed market mapping of top talent in India and presented to the client the top profiles.

Talent Sourcing and Acquisition:

Leveraging our extensive network and local expertise, we implemented targeted talent sourcing strategies to identify and attract top-tier tech talent in India.

We conducted comprehensive candidate assessments, including technical evaluations, cultural fit assessments, and behavioral interviews, to ensure alignment with the client's requirements and objectives.

The technical evaluations were conducted ensuring complete overlap with global hiring benchmarks. 

Onboarding and Integration:

We encouraged collaboration and communication between the India tech team and global teams, fostering a sense of belonging and alignment with the company's goals and values.

Impact

Top 1 % Talent Acquisition: We helped the client recruit a team of highly skilled tech professionals, including software engineers, developers, data scientists, and technical leads, to establish their tech team in India. Post debriefs, it was evident that the team hired was as good if not better than the global median levels internally.

Cost Optimization: By leveraging our local expertise and network, we helped the client optimize recruitment costs, minimize hiring risks, and maximize return on investment in talent acquisition.
