Top Headhunters & Leadership Hiring Specialists Across India, SAARC & APAC
At Talenton Global, we bring the same rigorous executive search methodology, deep domain networks and insight-driven approach to India. We partner with Indian companies and multinationals operating in India to find leadership talent that drives growth, transformation, and sustainable advantage.
India is a richly diverse, dynamic and complex market — with unique regional, cultural, regulatory and industry nuances. Successful leadership hiring here demands more than a generic approach — it requires local insight combined with global perspective.
Indian market expertise + global reach: On-the-ground experience across key metros (Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Kolkata) with global sourcing capability.
Tailored & discreet search: Every engagement is custom — we map, assess and approach passive and active candidates with confidentiality.
Speed with rigor: We deliver timely but high-integrity executive search, balancing thoroughness with agility.
Long-term relationship approach: Beyond filling roles, we help you build leadership teams and succession pipelines.
We offer a full suite of senior hiring solutions, carefully structured for India’s market environment:
Leadership / C-Suite Search
We specialize in identifying and placing CEOs, Managing Directors, CFOs, COOs, CHROs, CTOs, and other senior roles.
Retained Search for Growth Leaders
For firms planning strategic expansion or transformation, we conduct retained searches to proactively build future-ready leadership.
Contingent / Success-Based Search
For roles where results matter and budgets are tight, we offer contingent placement — you pay only if a candidate is successfully placed.
Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) & Executive Hiring Support
We can manage the full or partial recruitment lifecycle, especially for leadership roles, across regions in India.
Leadership Advisory & Assessment
We help with evaluating leadership teams, conducting assessments, succession planning, and organizational design for India operations.
Our experience spans across a wide array of sectors in India. Some of the industries where we have deep domain expertise:
Information Technology & Digital

Consumer Goods / FMCG / Retail
Manufacturing & Engineering
Healthcare, Life Sciences & Pharma
Energy, Renewables & Utilities
Infrastructure, Real Estate & Construction
Logistics, Transportation & Mobility
Education & EdTech
Media, Telecom & Technology
Startups, Unicorns & Venture Ecosystem
Wherever your business operates — metro, Tier-2 or Tier-3 India — we bring domain context, market awareness and leadership networks.
Pan-India mapping & outreach: We identify talent across states and cities, including regional leadership in non-metros.
Candidate engagement & retention focus: We don’t just attract talent — we advise on compensation, retention levers and transition support.
Rigorous assessment & cultural alignment: Use of psychometric tools, structured interviews and cultural fit evaluation.
Confidential searches & passive talent engagement: Many leadership candidates are not visible on job portals — we tap into hidden networks.
Compliant & ethical hiring practices: Fully aligned with Indian labor laws, diversity standards, data protection and confidentiality norms.
While we have strong presence in major metro centers, our search reach includes Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities in India. We actively map leadership talent across all geographies.
A recruitment agency typically focuses on volume hiring, mid-level roles, and reactive fills using their database.
