In Practice
A US-based fintech platform launching its first India GCC
Needed a VP Engineering and a 25-person founding engineering team within one quarter, with zero existing India hiring infrastructure or employer brand.
WeHireIn placed the VP Engineering in 19 days and completed the 25-person seed team in 11 weeks, with 23 of 25 hires still in place 14 months later.
Illustrative scenario based on a typical engagement of this kind.
Common Questions
FAQs
How long does a GCC Head search typically take?
Most leadership searches close in 6-10 weeks from kickoff to signed offer, depending on compensation flexibility and how narrow the mandate is.
Do you help with the city/location decision, not just hiring?
Yes — our market intelligence team can provide a city comparison covering talent depth, cost, and competitor presence as part of the launch mandate.
What happens after the seed team is hired?
We stay engaged through 90-day onboarding check-ins, and most launch clients transition into our Scale & Growth or Optimize & Retain solutions as the GCC matures.
