People advisory services for financial services firms
We offer four service lines, each addressing a different dimension of how financial services and fintech firms manage, grow, and develop their people. You can engage us on one service or across several — we adapt to where you are.

Talent acquisition
Finding the right people for financial services and fintech roles
We source and qualify candidates for technology, product, risk, compliance, and business roles at financial services and fintech firms across India. Our work is success-fee based — you pay when a candidate joins.
We are not a generalist recruitment firm. Our sourcing is concentrated in the financial services talent market, which means our pipelines are warm, our candidate assessments are domain-informed, and our briefing conversations are efficient.
We operate as a hiring partner, not a vendor. That means tight feedback loops, transparent pipeline reporting, and a shared interest in getting the hire right.
Who this is for HR leaders and functional heads at financial services and fintech firms actively hiring for technology and business roles.Explore talent acquisition -
Fractional HR
Senior HR capability on a retainer — without the full-time cost
A fractional HR engagement gives you access to a senior HR business partner on a structured monthly retainer. We work embedded with your team — attending reviews, advising on people decisions, designing and implementing HR processes, and acting as the strategic HR function your firm needs but has not yet built.
This service is designed for firms between 50 and 400 employees that have outgrown their current HR infrastructure but are not yet ready — or do not need — a full-time senior HR hire at the ₹18–24L level.
The scope of a fractional HR engagement typically covers: performance management, compensation architecture, hiring process design, manager capability, HR compliance, and people strategy input to the leadership team.
Who this is for Founders, CEOs, and HR heads at mid-size fintech firms and NBFCs that need strategic HR thinking without fixed overhead.Explore fractional HR -
Talent intelligence
Compensation data and hiring market insight for financial services
Most compensation benchmarking tools are either too broad or built on stale data. We produce talent intelligence reports specific to financial services and fintech roles in India, drawing from live placement data and active market observation.
A talent intelligence engagement typically delivers: role-specific salary band recommendations, sourcing channel analysis, candidate availability assessment, and a hiring market outlook for the roles you are filling or planning to fill.
This is useful when you are setting compensation bands for a new team, reviewing whether your current bands are market-competitive, or making a business case to leadership for a hiring investment.

Hiring effectiveness
Fix the parts of your hiring process that are costing you candidates
Most firms know their hiring process has problems. Candidates drop after offers. Hiring managers give inconsistent feedback. First shortlists keep getting rejected. Time-to-fill stretches past what anyone is comfortable with.
A hiring effectiveness engagement starts with an honest audit of where your process is breaking down. We map the data — offer-to-join ratios, HM rejection rates, interview feedback turnaround — and identify the two or three interventions that will move the needle.
Delivery typically includes a redesigned interview process, structured hiring manager training, and a 60-day implementation support period. Fixed fee, defined scope, measurable outcomes.

How we engage
Retained advisory
We work with a small number of firms on an ongoing basis — typically across multiple service lines. Retained clients get dedicated attention, faster response times, and access to our market intelligence on a continuous basis.
Project engagements
For firms that need a specific outcome in a defined timeframe — a hiring process overhaul, a compensation benchmarking report, or a fractional HR sprint — we work on project terms with a fixed scope and fee.
We do not work with every firm that approaches us. We take on engagements where we are confident we can deliver a meaningful outcome. Our first conversation is always about understanding your situation — not about selling you a package.
