Helping A Big4 Consulting Firm Build a High-Performance Hiring Engine at Scale Across India
A Big4’s Talent Acquisition team partnered with us to solve one core challenge: hire the right people, fast, for some of the most specialised roles in the market.
What we achieved
Our deep domain expertise, clubbed with an agile and intelligent process helped fuel their planned team growth.
The Challenge
Any TA leader who's hired for niche tech and consulting roles knows the feeling - you're fishing in a small pond, and everyone else is fishing in the same one. Our client was no exception.
The roles on their plate weren't entry-level. They were hiring across Guidewire, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, and specialist audit, tax, and advisory functions.
Throughout their hiring process, two problems kept surfacing:
- Race for talent: In a market where strong talent moved quickly, even minor delays in the process risked losing them to competing offers.
- Market visibility: Our client needed to understand what the talent landscape actually looked like - what candidates expected, where they were, and what it would take to get them across the line.
On top of this, a growing problem had begun to erode confidence in the process: fraudulent and proxy candidates showing up in interviews. For a firm like our client, where integrity is everything, this wasn't just inconvenient, it was unacceptable.
Our Approach — the Peepal Way
Ask any TA leader what they expect from a hiring partner, and the answer is usually the same: a process that delivers speed and quality, combined with a partner who brings strong domain understanding, seamless communication, and the ability to operate as a true extension of their internal team.
That’s exactly what defined this partnership.
Our approach was anchored in a thoughtfully designed hiring strategy and brought to life through:
- Strong, consistent availability for hiring managers
- High-volume closures without compromising on quality
- Ongoing sharing of market intelligence to guide decisions
- Active candidate engagement and management post-selection
When the market was hard to read, we showed them the reality. When the timelines were tight, we still delivered. When a new problem emerged, we solved it before it became their problem.
