We started H&K because hiring had become a volume business
Hiring done properly is a partnership, not a transaction. Between us we had watched too many good companies hire the wrong person quickly, and too many good candidates land somewhere they were never going to last.
Our story
H&K Consultancy was founded by Kunal Sethi and Hrithik RS to do recruitment the way they had always wanted to see it done: fewer mandates, more attention on each one, and a genuine understanding of the team a person is joining.
Today we recruit across manufacturing, retail, BFSI, healthcare, logistics, information technology and more, from entry-level operations roles through to board seats. Every mandate, regardless of size, runs through the same six-stage process and ends with 30, 60 and 90-day check-ins.
What we hold to
Fit before speed
We move quickly, but we will not send you a shortlist we do not believe in. A fast bad hire costs more than a slow good one.
Say the difficult thing
If your salary band is wrong, your interview process is losing candidates, or the role is not hireable as written, we will tell you.
Accountable after the offer
We check in with both sides at 30, 60 and 90 days. A placement is not finished when the invoice is raised.
