How we work

Four steps, no surprises

The same sequence on every engagement, whether it's a single hire or a full HR rebuild.

01

Understand

Your business, the people in it, and the standard the work actually has to meet.

02

Shape the approach

A shortlist, a policy set, a training plan, built for your context, never a template.

03

Put it in place

We do the work ourselves. Hiring, onboarding, payroll, policy or delivery.

04

Stay accountable

Measured outcomes, reviewed with you, not a report that gets filed.

Case study

HR transformation of a manufacturing company

A mid-sized manufacturer engaged Eshcol to redesign its HR function from the structure up. The work ran in three phases.

  • Diagnostic assessment. Mapping the existing function, its gaps and its real cost.
  • Policy & system redesign. Grading, policy set and process rebuilt around how the plant runs.
  • Cultural transformation. Engagement, communication and manager capability built in.

Why partner with us

The Eshcol Advantage

We are deliberately small and deliberately senior. That combination is the whole proposition.

Practical, not theoretical

Three decades of leading HR inside real businesses. Every recommendation has been implemented somewhere before it reaches you.

Senior consultants, directly

You deal with the people doing the work. No account layer, no handover to a junior team once the contract is signed.

Outcomes, not reports

We measure what changed, including time to hire, retention and compliance closure, and we stay until the change holds.

HR Solutions

A complete HR transformation, built to their way of working

Eshcol delivered a complete HR transformation for our company. They analysed our requirements, built systems tailored to how we work, and implemented them seamlessly — leaving us with HR processes that are stronger, more structured, and easier to run.

Arun Rathod Arun RathodCEO, Flosil Group of Companies

We approached Eshcol Global when we needed to fill several critical roles without compromising on fit. The team understood our requirements from the first conversation and came back with candidates who were genuinely well-matched — not just on paper, but culturally too. Professional, responsive, and consistently reliable.

Sagarika ChatterjeeSagarika ChatterjeeHuman Resource Director, Davies Group

Eshcol manages our Human Resources function and has implemented systems and procedures to streamline our HR processes and helped improve efficiency. Additionally, they have recommended and executed employee benefits that are consistent with industry standards. While working with Eshcol we found that they understood our needs, and are professional in their work.

Dinesh DulipsinghDinesh DulipsinghManaging Director, Lexington Soft (P) Ltd

Finding good accounts professionals isn't easy — the technical skills need to match, but so does the fit. Benjamin takes the time to understand both. Every candidate has been well-screened and genuinely suitable. For finance and accounts recruitment, I'd recommend Eshcol Global without hesitation.

Questions, answered

Before we begin.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. If yours is not here, ask us directly. You will get a senior consultant, not a sales team.

Still deciding?

One honest conversation usually settles it.

We will tell you plainly whether we are the right fit, even if the answer is no.

Book a discovery call
01How is Eshcol different from a traditional recruitment agency?
An agency fills the role you describe. Having run HR functions ourselves, we tend to start by talking the brief through with you, the grade, what the market is likely to respond to, and whether hiring is the right answer at all. Hiring is also only one of six service lines, so if that conversation points somewhere else, we can help there too.
02How quickly can we start?
Most searches begin within 24 hours of our first conversation. For most mid-level roles we aim to present a shortlist within 7 to 10 working days, and for temporary staffing we can usually deploy within a few days of receiving the brief.
03Do you work with companies outside Chennai?
Yes. We are based in Chennai and work with clients across India. Tell us where the role sits and we will say honestly whether we are the right fit for that market.
04How is pricing structured?
Fees are position-specific and agreed in writing before the work starts, so there are no surprises later. What they depend on is the scope and the seniority of the role, and we will walk you through the structure on the first call.
05Who will we actually work with?
A senior consultant, directly. The same person scopes the work, runs it and reviews the outcome with you, so there is no account manager in between and no handover to a junior team once the brief is signed.
06How do you protect our confidentiality and data?
We operate under a strict NDA and data handling agreement as part of every outsourcing engagement, and your data is never shared externally. We also regularly handle confidential searches, including leadership replacements and roles that cannot be advertised publicly.
07Can you take over an existing HR function?
Yes. We can take on the day-to-day running of your HR function, covering recruitment coordination, onboarding, policy administration, payroll coordination, employee engagement, compliance and reporting. We also work alongside existing HR teams, handling the operational load so they can focus on more strategic work.
08Do you also help with estate management?
Yes. Alongside our HR practice we run a dedicated estate management service covering property management, buying and selling, and leasing, for owners and NRIs who would rather not manage it themselves.
