About

Hiring doesn't fail because of lack of talent.
It fails because of lack of alignment.

Good at Hiring exists to fix what hiring has normalised — silence, misalignment, and wasted potential. We bring structure, speed, and clarity, while treating both companies and candidates as priorities, not trade-offs.

01 Hire.
02 Better.
03 Faster.

For companies, every hire is an investment in growth and performance. For candidates, it's livelihood, dignity, and long-term opportunity.

We partner with startups and growing businesses to deliver fast, reliable hiring — while ensuring every candidate experiences clear communication and respect throughout the process.

No false promises. No silence.

Just clarity, communication, and care — for both sides of the table.

We focus on the right fit, not just quick closures — because long-term success depends on alignment from both sides.

Where business needs and human needs align, that's Good at Hiring.

What's different

We rewrote the recruiter playbook.

We don't chase volume. We don't ignore candidates. We don't rush closures. We don't pick sides. Here's what that looks like in practice.

The old way

How most recruiters work

Chasing volume — 40 profiles, hope one sticks.
Candidates ghosted after the first call.
Rush a closure, lose the hire in 60 days.
Picking the client's side, always.
Sourcing handed off to a chatbot.
The Good at Hiring way

How we work

Focused relevance — 3–4 candidates, all fits.
Timely updates and clear status for every applicant.
Long-term alignment over fast invoice cycles.
Working for both companies and candidates.
Real humans reading every CV before it reaches you.

Process

From kick-off to joining, in five clear steps.

Sourcing → Screening → Shortlisting → Closure. The same five-step rhythm runs on every mandate — so you always know where things stand.

01

Discovery & JD calibration

We sit with the hiring manager to map the role beyond the JD — must-haves, dealbreakers, team chemistry, compensation bands, and the realistic candidate pool.

Day 0–1Kick-off call · Intake brief
02

Sourcing & outreach

Active sourcing across our network, talent communities, and select platforms. Every outreach is personalised — no copy-paste blasts that hurt your brand.

Day 1–4Pipeline build · Warm intros
03

Dual-layer screening

ATS shortlist meets human conversation. We assess fit, motivation, and grounded compensation expectations before a profile reaches your inbox.

Day 3–6Pre-screen · Calibration call
04

Interview & feedback loop

We coordinate panels, prep candidates, and run a feedback loop on every round — both ways. No silent rejections, no over-promised timelines.

Day 5–11Panels · 2-way feedback
05

Offer, joining & post-join support

Offer alignment, counter-handling, joining check-ins at day-7, 30, and 60. Replacement guarantee in writing — so your risk is genuinely covered.

Day 10–14+Offer · 60-day cover

A note from the founder

Built from the other side of the table.

"Hiring isn't just a process — it directly impacts lives and business outcomes."

I built Good at Hiring after experiencing the hiring system from the other side — endless applications, no responses, and a process that overlooked people who genuinely wanted to work and grow.

That experience shaped one belief: companies should hire better and faster, and candidates should be treated with the respect they deserve. Everything we do flows from there.

Good at Hiring is built to bring clarity, communication, and accountability into recruitment — so companies hire better, faster, and candidates are treated with the respect they deserve.

Questions

The honest questions people ask us.

We're new. Skepticism is fair. Here's how we'd answer the questions a careful hiring lead would put to us on the first call.

01You're a new studio — why should we trust you with our hires?

Fair question. We don't have a decade of placements to point to — so we put the risk on us instead of you. No fee until a candidate joins, a written replacement guarantee, and weekly written reporting on every mandate.

Founder Pruthvi Fernandes has worked both sides of the table — agency recruiting and as a candidate inside broken processes. The studio exists to fix what she saw.

02What does it cost?

A standard placement fee, calculated as a percentage of annual CTC + GST, billed only when the candidate joins. No retainer, no upfront fees, and no surprise invoices.

Bulk hiring and RPO engagements are priced separately based on hiring volume and support requirements.

Detailed commercials, timelines, and replacement terms are shared in a formal proposal upon request.

03What if the candidate doesn't work out?

Every placement comes with a replacement guarantee in writing. If a hire leaves or doesn't work out within the cover window, we re-run the mandate at no additional placement fee.

Day-7, day-30, and day-60 check-ins are part of the engagement, so we catch friction early — for you and the candidate.

04What kinds of roles do you cover?

Built for startups and growing teams of 10–250. We cover product, engineering, GTM, ops, finance, and HR — junior through senior leadership. We also run bulk hiring for retail, BPO, and field roles, and contract staffing where you need flexibility.

If the role is outside our depth, we'll say so on the first call rather than waste your week.

05How is this different from a job board or an in-house recruiter?

A job board sends applications. An in-house recruiter comes with fixed overhead costs. We sit in the middle — offering a focused, hands-on recruitment partnership with a single point of accountability, tailored to your hiring needs, and humans reviewing every CV before it reaches your inbox.

As a growing recruitment partner, we prioritise quality, responsiveness, and delivery over excessive client volume, allowing us to stay closely involved in every mandate.

06Do you work with candidates directly?

Yes — and we treat them as a priority, not a lead. Register once, we keep your profile on file, and reach out when there's something genuinely worth your time. No spam, no blasts, no ghosting after a first call.
