The Challenge:

Hiring to scale within the expected delivery dates that too on a pan India basis was a challenge which our team was craving to take up head on. The strategy to hire had to deal with 3 major issues :

3. Ensuring quality hiring with low attrition would be a game changer for Headstart

  • Design a hiring plan as per the desired organograph
  • Specialised screening and testing methodologies with a standard KRA
  • Spacing out recruitment timelines as per geography, necessity and priority
  • Onboarding external interviewers with domain-specific hiring experience
