How it works
Four steps from requirement to placement.
01
Intake and briefing
We schedule a call or exchange a detailed written brief. We ask specific questions about the role, tech stack, interview format, and timeline. We don't start sourcing on a one-line JD.
02
Sourcing and screening
We activate our sourcing channels — our candidate network, professional platforms, referrals, and boards. Every shortlisted candidate is screened for availability, notice period, and salary expectations.
03
Shortlist and interviews
We share a structured shortlist — typically 3 to 6 profiles per role — with a recruiter note on each. We handle scheduling, coordinate interview rounds, collect feedback, and keep both sides updated.
04
Offer and closure
We communicate the offer, support the candidate through their notice period, and confirm joining. Our engagement doesn't end at the verbal offer — we stay in touch until the candidate is in the role.
Why HRLent
What you get when you work with us.
India-specific knowledge
We know market salaries by city and role, typical notice periods (30 vs. 60 vs. 90 days), and the nuances of hiring across Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. We won't suggest a salary band that's six months out of date.
Screened profiles, not volume
We share profiles where we have verified availability, confirmed salary expectations are within range, and had a real conversation about the role. You're reviewing a shortlist, not sifting through applications.
Direct recruiter access
You deal with the recruiter doing the work — not an account manager relaying messages. Feedback reaches the sourcer the same day. Changes to requirements don't get lost in translation.
Transparent process
You'll know what stage each candidate is at, what the expected turnaround is, and where we are in the pipeline. We don't disappear between submissions.
FAQ
Common questions.
How long does a typical permanent placement take?
For most mid-senior technology roles, we aim to share an initial shortlist within 5 to 7 business days of a detailed brief. Time-to-hire depends on the client's interview process — roles with 2–3 rounds typically close within 3 to 6 weeks.
What locations do you cover?
We source pan-India. Our most active hiring cities are Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi NCR. We can also support remote-first roles.
Do you work on a retainer or contingency basis?
Most of our permanent recruitment work is on a contingency basis — you pay a fee only when a placement is made. For executive or retained search engagements, we discuss fee structures separately at intake.
What happens if the candidate leaves shortly after joining?
We have a replacement guarantee for permanent placements. If a placed candidate exits within the guarantee period, we will begin a replacement search at no additional fee.
