Our research team maps the full universe of qualified talent, including those not actively looking. We identify, profile and approach the best people in the market.

Our engagement doesn't end at offer acceptance. We conduct structured check-ins at 30, 60 and 90 days, and provide a placement guarantee so you have complete confidence.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know about working with TalentQuesst.

How does pricing work?
We work on a retained search model: an engagement fee is confirmed upfront, with the balance payable on successful placement. For multiple or ongoing hires, we offer project-based arrangements. Our fee structure is transparent and agreed before the search begins.
How long does a search typically take?
Most searches move from brief to final shortlist in three to six weeks. For very senior or highly specialised roles, timelines can extend slightly. We share a realistic timeline at the start of every engagement and keep you updated throughout.
What is your placement guarantee?
All placements come with a replacement guarantee. If the placed candidate leaves within the guarantee window, we conduct a full replacement search at no additional fee. The guarantee period is agreed in your engagement letter before the search begins.
Do you work on contingency?
We work primarily on retained mandates for senior and specialist roles, where exclusivity allows us to dedicate the full depth of our search capability. For mid and junior roles, we offer a hybrid model. We do not take on purely contingency briefs.
Which cities and industries do you cover?
We have active talent networks across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai, and support pan-India and remote mandates. Sector coverage spans Financial Services, FMCG, Consumer and Retail, Industrial, Infrastructure, Media and Telecom, Healthcare, Energy and more.
