Start with your hiring requirement
Before comparing agencies, write down the role, salary range, location, working hours, must-have skills and target joining date. A clear brief helps a consultancy explain whether it can support your requirement. For Mumbai and surrounding areas, include on-site attendance and commuting expectations early.
Compare the process, not a ranking claim
Ask how candidates are sourced, what screening includes, who coordinates interviews and how feedback is recorded. Request relevant examples the agency has permission to share. A “best consultancy” or “top 10” label is not a substitute for evidence and a clearly explained process.
Agree commercial terms in writing
Confirm the fee basis, payment trigger, taxes, replacement conditions, exclusions and cancellation terms. Ask how personal information is handled and who is responsible for obtaining consent. Do not rely on verbal promises for important terms.
Check location and communication
Verify the office address and contact details. Agree a point of contact, shortlist format and feedback schedule. If you are hiring across Mumbai or elsewhere in Maharashtra, discuss coverage rather than assuming a local office can support every role.
Prepare a useful first conversation
Bring a job description and a realistic salary range. Explain why the role is open and what success looks like in the first few months. Dhanvarsh can discuss your requirements from Mumbai, India; contact the team to confirm fit and scope.
