2006
A quality engineer walks into recruitment.
Sachith spent fifteen years in operational quality at Tata, HP, and HGS before he ever placed a candidate. When he started Recruise in Bengaluru, he brought the only discipline he knew: map the process, then measure what comes out the other end.

The early years
Building the muscle before the proof.
Recruise placed, tracked, and kept records most firms throw away. The habit that would become the Record started here, in the decision to write down what happened after a placement, not just that one was made.
-
The hard ones
The roles two other firms had already returned.
The work that built Recruise's name was the work nobody else wanted. Biostatisticians handed back as unfillable. A Partner-level placement into Japan. A CTO the market said did not exist. Recruise took them because a systems thinker sees a hard mandate as a mapping problem, not a luck problem. Most of them, it filled.

2014
The year it started keeping the Record.
A firm has to decide what it is willing to be judged on. From 2014, Recruise tracked every senior leader it placed, for years after they joined, against one question: did they stay.
-
The builds
Building GCCs from zero.
The proudest work is the build work. Recruise took one global pharma GCC from 0 to 500 over four years, and scaled a research and advisory team from single digits to roughly 600. A retail GCC is building now, from 50 to 300, after a healthcare build of around 300 hires between 2018 and 2022.

Today
Twenty years, one question, one ledger.
The firm is the same instinct it started with. Map before you move. Measure what you ship. Tell the truth about the result. Now it can prove it, because it kept the record of every senior hire and what became of them. That ledger has a name.
