One begins a venture with some aim in mind - provide a value proposition which makes one different from others - and in our case is to ensure companies get similar service as provided by Big 3 search firms at half the cost by continuing to focus on doing few things but doing them well. In the search business, more makes you ordinary and unexceptional.
HRNEXT ( www.hrnext.in ) was founded in July 2006 and the last three years have been periods of more dramatic changes than any others in our living history. Periods of euphoria followed by periods of despair and we are still in the woods. Fortunes that were made and fortunes that were lost. Careers that were made and then getting unmade.
HRNEXT has during this period carved a niche for itself not only as a trusted provider to companies for top notch talent, but also as a trusted provider of unbiased career advice to middle and senior management professionals.
HRNEXT has through several strategic partnerships and tie ups provided talent to its clients as well as provided maximised opportunities for professionals seeking to a change. HRNEXT caters to enterprise functions ( IT, Marketing, Finance, Fund Management, Equity Research and HR ) of leading MNCs and professionally run companies. We are one of the very few firms which have had an excellent run even during the darkest periods of 2009 and going strong with quality assignments in hand.
You can reach us on anurag@hrnext.in to engage us as a client or a prospective candidate.

India is on threshold of an economic boom and shortage of middle management / sr middle management is already hurting . While there would focus on providing organisations with talent like any search firm , the key emphasis of the firm is on identification of talent in technology and financial services and providing mentoring, guidance enabling long term career development. Hence number of candidates which will form active list of the firm will be low , the number of positions handled each month will be limited to ensure quality of service to candidates and companies.
