Our fees are fully transparent and agreed upon before we begin. We typically charge 8.33% to 20% of the candidate's annual CTC, depending on the seniority and complexity of the role. There are no hidden charges — if a placement doesn't work out within the replacement guarantee period, we re-recruit at no additional cost.

For most mid-level roles, we present 3–5 pre-screened, interview-ready profiles within 3–5 business days. For niche or senior roles, this may take 7–14 days. We prioritize quality over quantity — you receive only candidates who genuinely fit your brief, not a dump of 50 resumes.

We have dedicated vertical-specific recruiters across:

• IT & Technology
• Sales & Marketing
• Finance & BFSI
• Manufacturing & Automotive
• HR & Administration
• Digital Marketing
• Healthcare & Pharma
• FMCG & Retail

Our recruiters aren't generalists — each team member deeply understands their sector's hiring trends, salary benchmarks, and talent pools.

Yes. We regularly support companies during rapid expansion phases, new plant launches, and seasonal hiring surges. Our database of verified, active candidates across Delhi NCR allows us to mobilize quickly for bulk requirements — whether you need 10 or 200 people.

Absolutely. We place candidates across all levels — from fresh graduates and junior executives to CXO-level leadership. For senior and confidential leadership searches, we can conduct the entire process without revealing your company name until the final shortlist stage.

We work with everyone — from Series A startups building their first team to large MNCs with ongoing hiring needs. Startups often benefit most from our services because we bring the hiring expertise, candidate network, and market intelligence that a young company's HR team may not yet have in-house.

To hit the ground running, it helps to share: job description, salary band, reporting structure, team culture, must-have qualifications, and any deal-breakers. The more context you give us on Day 1, the better the match. We kick off with a detailed briefing call — usually 30–45 minutes — before we begin sourcing.

Yes — we offer permanent, contract, and project-based staffing solutions. Contract staffing is ideal for short-term projects, seasonal demand, or when you need to evaluate a candidate before committing to a full-time hire. We handle all the paperwork and compliance.

Most agencies match job titles and years of experience. We go deeper — evaluating every candidate's personality, communication skills, and cultural fit to ensure long-term retention. We also leverage AI-powered screening tools and real-time Gurgaon salary benchmarks so you're never over- or under-paying for talent.

A recruitment agency acts as a bridge between companies that need to hire and professionals looking for new opportunities. We maintain a large database of candidates, actively source talent, screen profiles, and present only the best matches to our client companies. Think of us as your outsourced talent acquisition team — with deeper networks and faster results.

Recruitment agencies handle broad hiring across all levels — entry to senior. Executive search (or headhunting) firms specialize specifically in C-suite and leadership roles, proactively approaching passive candidates who aren't job hunting. HawkHire does both — we have a dedicated executive search practice for VP, Director, and CXO-level roles.

Internal HR teams are great for culture fit and company knowledge — but they often lack access to passive candidates (professionals not actively job searching), niche industry networks, and real-time salary benchmarking. Agencies add the most value when you need: niche talent, faster turnaround, leadership hires, or are scaling quickly without adding permanent HR headcount.

Our office is in Sector 44, Gurugram, Haryana. While we're based in Gurgaon, we serve clients and candidates across all of Delhi NCR — including Noida, Faridabad, Manesar, and Delhi. We also handle pan-India mandates for positions across major metros.

Ask these questions of any agency you consider:

• Do they have industry-specific recruiters for your sector?
• Can they tell you the salary benchmark for your role today?
• Do they send 3–5 quality profiles or 30 mediocre ones?
• Is pricing transparent with no post-placement surprises?

At HawkHire, the answer to all four is yes. We're happy to do a no-commitment introductory call so you can judge for yourself.
