Benefit from our India network: HR search for company expansion in India

Finding suitable employees for a German group of companies in India can be difficult. Where can I find suitable people and what do they need to bring with them in order to be successful in my company there?  

Our many years of experience in India and our extensive network, not just locally, enable us to successfully support you in your personnel search. Our customers regularly need support in this area. We know where and how you can recruit qualified employees and what exact requirements they have to meet for their job.  

One of our long-standing customers, a globally operating medium-sized mechanical and plant manufacturer, was planning to expand his company in India. The company should expand  

• a factory expansion and 
• the expansion of the locally manufactured product portfolio  

include.  

Our task as WB was to structure this expansion together with the customer and put together a team that had the necessary skills to drive this expansion forward at an operational level.  

Due to our many years of experience in India business, we were aware of the knowledge and qualifications the new team members needed to have in order to successfully build the new business. A constant exchange would be essential both with colleagues in Germany and with local Indian buyers and suppliers. In addition to numerous other skills and foreign language knowledge, strong communication skills are therefore absolutely necessary for a successful, harmonious team.

Starting at the management level and then moving into sales, design and production, WB recruited a group of employees who would form the backbone of the planned expansion. This included filling the following positions: 

• Chief Operating Officer 
• Sales Director  
• Sales Manager 
• Production Manager   
• Design engineer 
• Production engineer   

As part of the HR search activities, we also designed a company handbook to provide employees with helpful information right from the start and to clearly define important structures and unambiguous guidelines. We know what pitfalls you can expect in India and how to avoid them. It goes without saying that we provide our customers with extensive support that goes beyond pure recruiting. To be successful in India, you as a European company need long-term and sustainable solutions.
