Mumbai, April 2Specialist staffing firm Hays Plc launched its India unit with the aim of providing its contingency-based recruitment services here. As per the recruitment model, Hays will charge a recruitment fee from its client only if the vacancy (in the concerned company) is successfully filled, Mr Alistar Cox, Chief Executive of Hays, told newspersons at a press conference recently..

“The Indian market is well developed in generalist recruitment but is relatively immature in specialist recruitment. In the initial few years, we will educate the market on the merits of contingency based specialised recruitment,” said Mr Cox.

Hays India will help companies recruit people at the senior and middle management levels in sectors such as finance and accounting, IT, marketing, construction, banking and pharmaceuticals.

Globally, Hays is present in 27 countries. The company expects its India unit to breakeven in the next 2-3 years, said Ms Roop Bhumbra, Country Manager, Hays India. It plans to setup offices in Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, and Chandigarh among others.
