A Global EOR That Couldn't Hire Fast Enough in India
This IT services firm needed to rapidly build a 15-person team in India. It initially turned to a large, multi-country EOR provider, expecting a smooth hiring process. Instead, its generic, global recruitment approach struggled to keep pace with India's fast-moving tech talent market. Shortlists were slow, candidate matches missed the mark, and after two months, barely a third of the team was in place.
With client delivery commitments on the line, the company couldn't afford further delays. It needed a partner with deep expertise in India's talent market, one that could handle both recruitment and compliant employment under one roof.
The company made the switch to Wisemonk, bringing its India hiring and employment needs together with a partner built for the local market.
India-Native Recruiting and Employment, From One Specialist
Wisemonk took over both recruiting and employment as the firm's India partner, and the pace changed immediately. Sourcing targeted the right India technology talent, shortlists landed faster, and the team reached fifteen people within five months of the switch.
Every hire was employed on a compliant contract, with provident fund, professional tax, income-tax deductions, gratuity, and health benefits from the first cycle, and salaries benchmarked to market. One accountable partner owned the whole lifecycle.
The firm joined the base of more than 2,000 India employees Wisemonk manages for global companies.
The Team the Firm Was Promised, Finally Built
The firm reached its full fifteen-person India team in five months with Wisemonk, after a stalled start elsewhere, and delivered the capacity it had promised clients.
Recruiting and employment from one India specialist removed the handoffs and delays that had held it up.
The takeaway was simple: in India, local hiring expertise is not a nice-to-have, it is the difference between a team on time and a team on hold.
