Shifting The Radar To International Hiring
Lateral HR Consulting has victoriously established the clients’ trust with its stellar services and made its presence in various countries like Australia, New Zealand and Dubai. The company is also planning to open an office in New Zealand, which hopefully will be executional by December 2022. This will take its office presence in 3 geographies – India, the US, and New Zealand.
While exploring the different areas of the recruitment industry, Lateral HR Consulting observed the difficulty and complexity of tech hiring. But as they say, every problem has a solution; Lateral HR Consulting has brainstormed an incredible solution.
“We are entering into the recruitment-tech industry with a brand Lateral Bridge, where we will be solving tech hiring challenges through a global staff augmentation model,” says the brainchild who is working round the clock on this ideation.
The crucial aspects of the company’s services will be:
- Increasing the supply of engineers from countries outside India.
- Building a habit of staff augmentation and deploying the staff remotely across the globe.
- Finding the best candidate who is 100% dedicated to the well-being of the organisation.
- Not just as external support, the client can consider them as their extended team member.
The company has done a litmus test with one client and it could deploy ~15 engineers from Vietnam in ~25 days and that’s when Chirag thought that this idea is bigger than the thoughts. Hence, he along with his team started digging further and it turned out to be a startup.
“I was pretty sure that this shortage of tech talent supply is just starting to begin and will require some stronger solution. So I started studying about tech talent which would be affordable and zeroed down on a few countries,” mentions Chirag.
With a rolling database of ~1000 candidates, Lateral HR Consulting ensures that each and every candidate is efficient and beneficial for the company. Currently, the hiring process for any organisation takes 90-120 days but Lateral HR Consulting is creating a robust process that ensures the completion of the hiring process in just 8-10 days.
Chirag adds, “We take care of international compliance & their salaries. The client will just have to make a payment to us. There will be no recruitment charges to this so that this becomes super affordable for clients in all ways, and of course, an additional benefit when you get an essence of global culture.”
