GCC Hiring
Building Global Capability Centers from the first hire
Setting up a GCC in India is a talent problem before it is anything else. The first ten hires determine whether the centre becomes a strategic capability or an offshore cost line. We help global organizations plan, hire and scale that team.
Is this the right engagement for you?
- Global organizations establishing a first capability centre in India
- Existing GCCs scaling from delivery execution to product ownership
- Companies consolidating vendor-managed work into an owned centre
- Parent organizations appointing site or function leadership in India
The problems this work exists to fix
01
No local market knowledge
We bring ground-level intelligence on talent availability, compensation benchmarks and competitor hiring in each Indian market.
02
Getting the founding team wrong
The first leadership hires set the culture and the hiring bar. We treat them as executive search, not as volume recruitment.
03
Scaling without structure
We build the hiring plan, the process and the assessment bar alongside the headcount, so quality holds as the numbers grow.
