Hiring Guides
Practical guides to building specialist teams in India, written from the searches we actually run. Each one covers the roles a team needs, the order to hire them in, and what makes each discipline hard to recruit.
Five guides, covering insurance, banking, fintech, pensions and investments.
What are the EliteRecruitments hiring guides?
The EliteRecruitments hiring guides are practical, non commercial guides to building specialist teams in banking, financial services and insurance in India. Each guide covers the disciplines a team is built from, the anchor hires that come first, the shape of a typical build, and the parts of each function that are hardest to hire for. They are written for hiring leaders, HR and talent acquisition teams and function heads who are planning a build, whether that is a first specialist hire or a full capability centre.
We publish them because the questions behind them come up in almost every conversation we have. Read them before you plan a build, and you will make better decisions about sequence and scope, whether or not you work with us.
