The industry of recruitment services in India have been around for more than three decades. In the pre-liberalization era, the industry was an insignificant part of the national gross domestic product (GDP). Post 1991, the service sector in India grew in eminence and has steadily emerged as the biggest pie of the national GDP. Mostly driven by IT/ITeS services, the overall industry has steadily matured both in the global as well as the India-to-India market.

Over the last few years, the industry has witnessed some radical evolutionary leaps led primarily by technology and the growth of domestic homegrown multinationals. While there are some variable opinions on the exact size of the industry (owing specifically to the variance in opinion on temp staffing and education), the industry is estimated to be over Rs. 30,000 crores. Out of this, the segment of recruitment accounts for a majority of the industry i.e. over 70 percent.

At present, every ambitious person favors an overseas career, primarily due to lucrative salary, superior living style and opportunity to work in a different type of culture. However, it is a challenging task for both the employer and the candidate to grab the golden opportunity. Recruitment agencies in such cases act as a platform to contact the overseas placement agencies to leverage the aspirations of a candidate and the expectations of a company. These agencies strive to deliver personalized services with the help of their wide network. On the other hand, to save the expenditure on advertising campaigns, businesses tend to rely on the well known recruitment consultancies and their methodologies that can make their recruitment process easier. Yet, finding an established and efficient consultancy that delivers credible manpower services remains a challenge.
