What we do
Attracting & retaining talent without paying a premium
IT Executives tell us that much of their stress with talent acquisition comes from the following challenges:
- Head to head competition over salaries
- Quality of applicants & time to fill positions
- Not being a known consumer brand
But it doesn't have to be that way. If you can make authentic Employer Branding a cornerstone of your strategy, research indicates you could see the following benefits:
- 1.8X Profit increase
- 2.4 X Revenue increase
- 28% reduction in attrition
- 50% reduction in cost per hire.
We achieve results by leveraging a proven & repeatable process and my own experience having led Employer Branding at IBM India. My work in this space received significant press coverage & multiple awards I enjoy writing & am a regular contributor to leading HR Publications such as People Matters.
Finally, to lay a rock solid foundation of engaged employees & high performance teams, we offer Gallup's Strengths coaching as well as Mindful leadership training based on the wisdom of Indian scriptures.
