About Senior & managerial in India
Senior and managerial hiring sits between contingent recruitment and full executive search: roles such as plant head, finance controller, regional sales head or engineering director with salaries from ₹25 lakh to ₹1 crore. Firms at this level may work on contingency at 12–20% of CTC or on a partial retainer, and they are judged on their ability to approach passive candidates confidentially, to assess leadership capability rather than just experience, and to manage the negotiation and resignation process without losing the candidate to a counter-offer. Look for consultants who have worked in your industry, ask how many senior mandates they run concurrently, and confirm the guarantee period, typically 90 to 180 days at this level.
Firms on this page show a fee band, minimum mandate value and a focus bar indicating the proportion of senior placements in their work. Moderated reviews from managing directors and CHROs describe shortlist depth and how the firm behaved during offer negotiation. Sector filtering is especially useful here because senior networks are industry-specific.
Frequently asked questions
What fee applies to senior management hiring?
Contingent fees of 12% to 20% of annual CTC are common for roles between ₹25 lakh and ₹1 crore, with some firms asking for a retainer of 20% to 30% of the estimated fee at the start of an exclusive mandate. Guarantees of 90 to 180 days are standard.
How are senior candidates assessed beyond the CV?
Reputable firms use structured competency interviews, psychometric tools such as Hogan or SHL, detailed reference checks with former supervisors and peers, and sometimes case presentations. Ask for the firm’s assessment report format before you engage them.
How do firms handle counter-offers at senior level?
By preparing the candidate early, confirming motivations to move, agreeing compensation ranges before the offer stage and staying in contact during the notice period. A consultant should tell you frankly when a candidate is at risk rather than surprising you at joining.
