SUCCESS STORIES
Speciality / Niche Hiring
FMCG Company
The company was looking for a very specific skill set – an FMCG salesman covering small tea-shops, with unique
requirement that the candidate should be from Kerala only. We conducted a blended search comprising of
traditional portal research, word-of-mouth messaging and headhunting. Our experienced recruiters improvised to
a great degree, even learning a smattering of Malayalam! Not only did we find the perfect guy, we closed the
position in 30 days.
Project Hiring
Hospitality Startup
The company was experiencing a huge surge in business demand, consequently had intensely compressed hiring
cycle timeline to meet critical business needs. They chose us to partner with them for our expertise in sourcing
across a wide geographical area in a short period of time. We met and exceeded project timelines & decreased
the time hiring managers spent in the process.
Bulk Hiring
FMCG Company
The middle-east based food products company has a regular requirement of van salesmen. This is usually a tough
mandate because the target population usually has no online presence. What made the mandate even more
challenging was that the company wanted to focus the search only on a particular state – Rajasthan. When the
extensive advertising also failed to get much response, we set up a core team, supported by several recruiters,
who worked tirelessly for 5 weeks to create enough buzz to run a successful walk-in drive. Many creative strategies
were devised and implemented. The walk-in happened on the planned dates and was a resounding success.
Leadership Hiring
IT Company
A multinational provider of software and services approached us to help them hire a senior executive. Our team
created a strong employer value proposition for the organization, along with a multichannel sourcing strategy
focused on targeting passive talent. This strategy also resulted in significantly increased brand awareness within
the executive market. We also designed a process for identifying and assessing leadership talent, using the Psyft
Personality Assessment (PPA). We successfully closed the position and the quality of hire exceeded client
expectations. The partnership on this mandate has already led to four more senior mandates.
Talent Mapping
Consulting Firm
The client is one of the world’s leading independent consultancy and outsourcing service providers in the field of
financial retail software. They face the constant challenge of finding individuals with extremely niche skills. We
proposed a talent mapping intervention to address their on going human capital needs.

PPA IN ACTION – USE CASES
RECRUITMENT & SELECTION
A boutique consultancy firm
Challenge
Hiring dynamic associates with the ability to step up to client acquisition and engagement responsibilities.
Solution
We suggested administering the PPA to help obtain an understanding on how candidates are likely to behave in their
specific roles after they join, how they are likely to act and communicate with the client and their own teams. The tool
was also suggested to provide a comprehensive analysis of individual traits through the lens of the Universal
Competency Framework.
Results
Upon taking the PPA, one candidate was found to be leaning towards extreme emotional sensitivity, marked by high
levels of self-consciousness and anxiety. This was a definite red flag for the role and the Client was informed of the
risks. However, the Client chose to override the results in case of this individual and hired him purely for his technical
skill.
A year after administration, during our follow up reviews, the Client confirmed the accuracy of the assessment as the
employee was unable to perform his role effectively, despite having all the knowledge and support. The PPA has since
become a regular part of hiring process at this firm and has helped the Client avoid such glaring hiring errors.
TEAM BUILDING
A law firm
Challenge
In any organization, especially in a compact one, a disconnected team can have disastrous consequences.
Communication and efficiency are paramount - a lack of which can cost the firm not only an engagement, but also its
hard won reputation. So a team that is working in silos is never good and must be fixed.
Solution
We suggested a day long, PPA based, Team Building Workshop. The PPA gave people an opportunity to understand
themselves and each other in depth and consequently view others’ personalities more objectively. The Workshop
allowed coworkers to meet each other in a relaxed, neutral environment.
Results
Many issues, so far unsaid and unaddressed, were articulated and put to discussion in the workshop due to findings of
the PPA. The thoughtfully designed exercises required team members to get out of their comfort zone and show their
true selves. One of the team members for example, stated that he doesn’t covet a leadership role and would rather be
a follower – this was new to the management and helped them align their people strategy accordingly. By the end of
this workshop, the team had moved from mere recognition to genuine camaraderie. After the PPA-based workshop, the
team members started understanding each other much better and developed a certain level of empathy. The overall
positive impact on productivity was evident to the client from the first week itself.
DEVELOPMENT
A large manufacturing firm
Challenge
Identifying HiPos (High Potential employees) for plant leadership positions.
Solution
We suggested a 2 day, PPA based, Assessment & Development Centre (ADC) where select employees are tested
using a variety of exercises, simulations and discussions. It provides a holistic view of each participant’s personality,
skill and aptitude.
Results
A detailed individual report was prepared for each participant which provided rich, evidence based information which
could be used to create individual development plans. In addition, a comprehensive report was submitted which
became the basis of a leadership pipelining exercise by the Client to be used for succession planning and allocation of
various senior level roles.

360 Degree Feedback
360 DEGREE FEEDBACK IN USE
Part of Culture Change Program
Leading Retail Chain
Challenge: The leadership team wanted the company to move to a culture of devolving responsibility,
encouraging people to take ownership of their problems and resolve them proactively. The company
believes this will enable them to make giant leaps in agility and customer satisfaction.
Solution: Our 360 Degree Feedback tool was introduced as part of training & development plan.
Result: Significant improvement was noted in managerial performance in response to upward feedback
(i.e. a junior employee providing feedback on a senior team member). It was found that performance
ratings by peers and direct reports are one of the most important or reliable source of information. The
feedback mechanism has become a recurring and important lever in eliciting the desired behavior
change.
Organization’s first 360 degree
Logistics and Supply Chain company
Challenge: Cultural resistance and resource constraints had prevented HR from undertaking a formal
feedback process so far.
Solution: We framed all communication in a way that the exercise was understood as a business
improvement process. We ensured that the whole team was involved from start to avoid distrust.
Detailed product sensitization was planned for key stakeholders, highlighting the positive takeaways
from the process.
Result: Initially some participants found it daunting to provide upward feedback, but our promise of
confidentiality helped allay those fears. The exercise not only won buy in, but was conducted with
enthusiastic cooperation from all levels of participants. Additionally, positive performance impact was
noted in annual reviews.
Evidence based leadership development
Large FMCG Company
Challenge: Developing a Leadership development program based on real-world evidence and not
something simply influenced by theories, personal biases or passing fads.
Solution: We suggested a self-insight workshop with 360-degree feedback analysis as a key component.
Result: The feedback, together with the workshop takeaways, helped the participants see from a new
perspective and understand both, the requirements of their role and the gaps in their leadership styles.
Increasing rate of participation
Banking
Challenge: The company had long experience with various feedback mechanisms, but getting people to
participate had been a pain point.
Solution: We researched the reasons for low participation in the guise of training needs analysis
discussions with various levels of employees. We found that people avoided giving feedback due to
some process complexity but mostly due to a widespread lack of seriousness about the process.
Result: We implemented an easy-to-use 360-degree feedback process, designed to be cascaded down
the line, with seniors inviting their direct reports and so on. We made it mandatory that the top team
should be the first to complete, as demonstrable commitment to the process. Initially planned as a one-
off exercise, the process has so far been taken up bi-annually by top 3 levels of management.

SUCCESS STORIES
High Employee Turnover
Logistics & Warehousing Company
Challenge: This growth stage startup faced some serious retention issues with the fresh graduates they were hiring. Once they
were fully trained, many decided to leave and join a larger organization. The company had no data or information to guide
decisions about how to increase graduate engagement and them.
Solution: We quickly realized what the company needed was an avenue for staff to confidentially provide feedback both on
the positive elements of the work experience and the pain areas that needed improvement. It was the right time to conduct an
employee survey. Today it has become a yearly exercise and is at the heart of the company’s employee engagement
initiatives.
Results: In spite of staff numbers doubling, consistently high survey participation rates of between 80% and 91% have been
achieved for the last three years. During that time engagement levels have increased from just over 50% to around 80%. But
most importantly, employee turnover has fallen from over 50% to below 20%.
Enhancing Engagement Levels
Finance & Insurance
Challenge: An employee engagement survey revealed that lack of clear career path was a major issue, especially at the middle
management level. People saw others progressing and didn't know why; their seniors told them how they were doing but didn't
articulate what they needed to do differently in order to achieve their next promotion.
Solution: Based on our post-survey recommendations, resources were allocated to developing a formal career development
model for middle level employees. However, in isolation, the model would not be of much use. Further work had to be done
by the Client on an e-learning portal to really ensure that employee engagement was impacted and then reflected in the next
survey.
Results: Ongoing
A Multilingual Survey Solution
Hydropower Company
Challenge: This large public sector organization has offices spread across the length and breadth of the country. Having
attempted employee engagement surveys earlier, they realized not all parts of the organization were participating
enthusiastically. Some geographies and employee levels were underperforming severely on participation rates.
Solution: We suggested a multilingual survey, where respondents could choose the answer in their native language.
Results: The participation rates in the underperforming areas jumped significantly. There was appreciation from all quarters,
including from the Managing Director.
Introducing Modern HR Practices
Chemicals & Fertilizers
Challenge: Historically, the Company had a very traditional approach to performance management, relying on an annual
appraisal with often little or no follow-up The newly appointed HR head wanted to bring contemporary thinking around
motivation and behavioral science into the company, in a bid to understand how she could help staff perform to the best of
their ability.
Solution: We suggested that the best place to begin would be an employee engagement survey, to get the pulse of the
organization – what are your employees feeling?
Results: By focusing attention on various elements of the survey, staff were able to gain a clearer picture about what might be
impeding them and how they might be helped. In the long run, there was a change in the way employees felt they could
approach issues. Rather than experiencing a general feeling of dissatisfaction, they were able to put a name to their problems
and thus address them specifically.
