Hiring Speaks Volumes

Logistics

While re architecting our organization in South Asia I had the pleasure of working with the Propella team to source candidates for several key leadership roles. I had little experience recruiting senior talent in APAC and interviewed a few consulting firms, including some of the largest recruiting operations in the world. What distinguished Propella from the rest was the unique level of insight and deep relationship portfolio Manish brings to the process in our industry vertical. Working with Propella as a key partner in our talent acquisition program accelerated our ability to place the best people from the market in strategic roles in a way that aligned the experience and potential of candidates with the cultural values and business plan of our organization. Our engagement with Propella enabled a new era of growth and maturity in the region and I can wholeheartedly endorse Propella as a key human resources partner.

I have worked with Propella Consulting Group since Aug 2010 and we have closed several strategic roles together. The company is very professional and always delivers results. They are quick to understand the client’s requirements and adapt the search accordingly while maintaining focus on delivering great quality. Manish’s Propella is our preferred recruitment partner.

Amit Singh Head HR – Asia & Japan – DHL

"I have been associated with Propella Consulting Group for close to 5 years now, since I joined the company. To begin with, the 5 years journey has been great and the partnership with Propella has grown incredibly. Manish and his team have closed numerous positions for us right from CXO levels to Mid Management roles. Important thing about Propellais that they understand our business and they also understand our requirement, they won’t just pass on the CV’s without interviewing the candidates and explaining them about the job requirements."

Yogesh Kotian Head Talent Management- DHL Logistics

"Propella was given the assignment to hire the Leadership team at Jusda. The team set up by Propella continue to be great leaders within our business.

Propella has closed multiple leadership mandates for the Foxconn Group is our preferred partner for our strategic search assignments."

Manish Ballani from Propella approached us when BITO was searching for it’s leadership team to enter the South Asia region. Given the complexity of identifying suitable candidates with the right cultural fit across geographies, it was challenging to find the right person for the role. However, Propella made the process easy for us. Their comprehensive approach ensured that we were not left in a dilemma during the decision-making process, where we were spoilt for choice with multiple suitable candidates. As an employer, it was a favorable position to be in. I extend my best wishes to Manish and Propella Consulting Group.

They also have a great sense of our company's culture and are hence very capable in providing us with their advice which we take seriously in the decision making process.
