Executive Search for a long time now has been attempted by several Indian players, and they have made hay while the industry was growing. When the market slumped and started taking a different shape, many players struggled to deliver results. In this ever-changing environment, spotting leadership skills early, mapping the candidates against the culture of the client’s organization and ensuring long-term commitment became crucial.

Understanding this much better than any other competitors in the space, Pune-based Search Bourne Consulting is currently adapting and evolving to new assessment methodologies, technologies, platforms and requirements of the industry. At the same time, their hiring models are efficient and flexible.

Search Bourne Consulting to the Rescue
Suraj has worked with various companies like Cafe Coffee Day, Landmark Group, Genpact, and Accenture for more than 17 years. During his tenure, what surprised him the most was the lack of professionalism and accuracy and this was the stepping stone for Search Bourne Consulting. “I could sense a gap, which was the need of the industry of a player that can bring high-quality precision work at a cost, which was acceptable,” asserts Suraj.

In fact, Suraj’s experience with global players taught him some of the best practices that have helped him in creating a model that is highly acceptable in the industry. “One cannot ignore the cost angle while operating in the Indian market and we are quite sensitive to this aspect as well,” says Suraj.

Founded in 2014, the journey of Search Bourne Consulting has been a roller-coaster ride. “We knew our model would work, and hence we stuck to it,” avers Suraj. In terms of acquiring the business, the company has had an exceptional growth.

“My network in HR Fraternity helped me acquire some top-notch clients. Our struggle has been to stabilize the delivery engine, which today to a large extent has gained robustness and sustainability,” he adds.
