Working with SForce.
How do we start working with SForce?
Submit a vacancy or contact us with the role. A consultant calls to calibrate the brief — the success profile, compensation and timeline — and we begin mapping the market, usually with a shortlist back within 48–72 hours.
What types of roles does SForce recruit for?
Everything from high-volume and specialist positions to senior management and confidential C-suite appointments, across seven core industries and many adjacent areas.
Which industries and locations does SForce cover?
Seven core sectors — IT, healthcare, finance & banking, manufacturing, retail & e-commerce, engineering and logistics — delivered across India from our Surat headquarters, including Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and more.
Does SForce handle both permanent and contract hiring?
Yes. We offer executive search, direct placement (permanent), staffing (contract and high-volume), RPO and enterprise delivery — the right model for each need.
Pricing & guarantees.
How does SForce pricing work?
Direct placement is success-based — you pay only on a successful hire. Staffing runs on transparent agreed rates, and RPO and executive search on managed or retained models. We share a clear proposal up front with no surprises.
Is there a replacement or placement guarantee?
Yes. Permanent placements carry a replacement guarantee, and executive appointments a 12-month leadership guarantee — if a hire doesn’t work out within the agreed period, we find a replacement.
Are there any upfront fees for employers?
For success-based direct placement there are no upfront fees — you pay on a successful hire. Retained search and RPO engagements are structured transparently and agreed before we begin.
Process & timelines.
How quickly can SForce deliver candidates?
For most roles we deliver a qualified shortlist within 48–72 hours of taking the brief. Senior and executive searches typically reach an accepted offer in around 30 days.
How does SForce find and assess candidates?
We map the market and approach both active and passive talent, then run structured screening, skills and culture assessment, and referencing — so you meet a calibrated shortlist worth your time.
How is executive search different from regular recruitment?
Executive search is a confidential, mapped process for senior leadership — discreet approaches rather than public postings, with deeper assessment and board-level calibration. It is a distinct practice from volume recruitment.
Can a search be kept confidential?
Yes. Sensitive and replacement searches run on a strict need-to-know basis with NDAs as standard, so nothing becomes public until you decide to announce it.
Scale & enterprise.
Can SForce handle high-volume or multi-city hiring?
Yes. We run ramps of 500+ seats across multiple cities to a defined SLA, coordinated through one accountable account team — via project hiring or a managed RPO.
What is RPO and when should we use it?
Recruitment Process Outsourcing embeds a dedicated SForce team in your business, hiring under your brand. It suits companies with constant or spiky hiring who want speed, tooling and accountability without building a full in-house team.
Does SForce provide SLAs and reporting?
Yes — enterprise and RPO engagements include agreed shortlist timelines, fill rates and weekly dashboards on pipeline, conversion, diversity and cost-per-hire.
Compliance & trust.
How does SForce handle background verification and compliance?
Background verification runs through accredited partners, and statutory compliance (PF, ESIC, labour law) is handled for every contract placement, with audit-ready documentation throughout.
How is candidate and client data protected?
Data is stored securely, access-controlled and retained only as long as legitimately needed, aligned to India’s data-protection framework.
