Connecting talent, driving success · India · Middle East · USA
Fewer profiles. Better matches. Faster hiring.
AVP Talent Solutions is a founder-led recruitment and talent advisory firm based in Bengaluru, serving companies across India, the Middle East and the United States. We specialise in niche and leadership hiring, lateral pipelines and contract staffing, and every mandate is handled personally by our founder.
Beyond the search, it's about understanding your business, your culture and where you're headed next. We bring deep industry insight and a consultative approach to your toughest hiring challenges — from niche technical roles to leadership mandates. Think of us as an extension of your team, not an external vendor.
Whether it's a single specialist hire, a leadership team or an entire function, you work directly with the founder from brief to offer.
Who it's for: Companies with specialist roles that job boards and generalist recruiters can't fill.
Engineering, product, data, cloud, cybersecurity, sales, finance and operations roles where the right person is rarely applying. We work our existing networks first and run a targeted search second, so you see 4–6 relevant profiles, not 40 CVs.
Who it's for: Founders, boards and CHROs hiring CXO, VP and Director roles — including searches that must stay confidential.
Leadership search is run personally by Vinay and never delegated. A structured intake defines what success in the role looks like; discreet outreach reaches leaders who aren't on the market; every candidate is assessed for skill, motivation and culture fit before you meet them.
Who it's for: Teams that need to scale for a project, a season or a funding-led push without lowering the bar.
Compliant contract and contract-to-hire staffing with the same vetting as a permanent search. We've scaled teams from a handful to hundreds, with payroll, statutory compliance and onboarding handled.
Mid-to-senior pipelines that move fast without compromising quality. Teams with recurring specialist demand who need a pipeline, not a one-off search.
Lateral hiring →End-to-end or on-demand recruiting capacity, built around yours. Companies without an in-house TA function, or between TA leaders.
RPO & fractional TA →Helping you tell your story so the right talent finds you. Growing companies competing with bigger names for the same people.
Employer branding →The best hires happen when data meets discernment — smart tools to move fast, real relationships and experience to make the right call.
You brief Vinay, Vinay searches, Vinay presents. No hand-off to a junior recruiter after the sales call.
AI-assisted market mapping and screening to move fast; every shortlist still assessed by a human who has done the job before.
Hiring across India, APAC, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, with real market knowledge in each.
A track record built on transparency, trust, and searches other firms returned.

AVP Talent Solutions is a founder-led recruitment firm in Bengaluru that fills hard-to-fill roles for companies in India, the Middle East and the US. It offers niche technical and non-technical hiring, confidential leadership search and contract staffing, with every mandate handled personally by founder Vinay K N.
Typically 7–10 business days from the calibration call to the first shortlist for niche and leadership roles. Contract staffing mandates are often faster because searches begin with pre-vetted talent already in AVP's network.
Both, depending on the role. Confidential CXO and VP searches are usually retained; specialist and contract roles are typically contingent. Vinay will recommend the model that fits the risk and urgency of your mandate during the first call.
Yes. AVP places India-based talent into GCC and US roles and hires in-market for UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States. APAC and European mandates are handled on request.
Founder-led delivery. Large agencies sell with a partner and deliver with a junior recruiter; at AVP the person who takes your brief runs the search, assesses the candidates and negotiates the offer. The result is fewer, better-matched profiles and faster closes.
Submit the role through the mandate form or book a 15-minute call. Vinay responds within one business day with a calibration-call slot. There's no obligation and no sales pitch.
