Hiring solutions, tailored to you

Six services. One standard: the founder on every mandate.

AVP Talent Solutions offers niche and specialised hiring, leadership hiring, lateral hiring, contract staffing, RPO and fractional TA, and employer branding — for companies across India, the Middle East and the United States. Whichever you need, you work directly with the founder from brief to offer.

Niche & Specialised Hiring

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.

  • Senior individual contributors to Director level
  • Tech and non-tech functions
  • 4–6 relevant profiles, not 40 CVs

Leadership Hiring

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.

  • CEO, CFO, CTO, CHRO, COO, Country Head, VP and Director searches
  • Confidential and replacement searches
  • GCC and US leadership hired from India

Contract Staffing

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.

  • Contract, contract-to-hire and project-based hiring
  • Fully compliant employment and payroll
  • Fast ramp-up, no drop in quality

Lateral Hiring

Who it's for: Teams with recurring specialist demand who need a pipeline, not a one-off search.

Mid-to-senior experienced hires across functions, delivered as a steady pipeline: calibrated once, then filled repeatedly with the same standard of vetting.

  • Mid to senior experienced hires
  • Repeatable pipeline across functions
  • Same vetting as a one-off search
Lateral hiring →

RPO & Fractional TA

Who it's for: Companies without an in-house TA function, or between TA leaders.

Recruitment process outsourcing for the whole hiring function, or a fractional Head of Talent for a few days a week — process, tooling, employer branding and delivery, without a full-time hire.

  • Full RPO or fractional TA leadership
  • Process, tooling and reporting set up
  • Scale up or down with your plan
RPO & fractional TA →

Employer Branding

Who it's for: Growing companies competing with bigger names for the same people.

Your employee value proposition, careers page, LinkedIn presence and hiring-manager narrative — built from what is true about working with you, so the right candidates recognise themselves.

  • Employee value proposition
  • Careers page and LinkedIn content
  • Interview and outreach narrative
Employer branding →

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what employers ask us first.

What does AVP Talent Solutions do?

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.

How long does it take to get a shortlist?

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.

Is AVP a retained or contingent search firm?

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.

Do you hire for roles outside India?

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.

What makes AVP different from a large recruitment agency?

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.

How do we start?

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.
