Let's build what's next.

We help Fortune 500 GCCs and the mid-market companies behind them hire the people who build their future. Twenty years of intelligence behind every search.

Every GCC we work with is building something that hasn't been built before. New capability, new ownership, new ground. Our job is to find the people who can do it, and to bring the data and judgment that make the hire last.

Placements built, one team at a time

Our story

Twenty years of work inside the GCC talent market.

2006

Sachith Rai started Recruise in Bengaluru after fifteen years in operational quality at Tata Group, HP, and HGS. The disciplines that fixed manufacturing, he believed, could fix hiring too: process design and honest data.
2012

The firm moved beyond technology hiring into Pharma, BFSI, and Life Sciences. Each new sector deepened the firm's specialization further. Depth was always the pattern.
2017

Recruise began working with the first Fortune 500 GCCs in its portfolio. The eight years that followed defined what the firm became: 500+ placements built one team at a time inside a single pharma GCC, 300+ inside a retail GCC's scale-up, and roughly the same again for a global healthcare organization.
2026

Recruise opened its Houston office in March. Bengaluru remains the spine. The US presence is the firm meeting GCC parents on home ground.

Founder

Sachith Rai, MD and Founder.

Sachith founded Recruise in 2006, after fifteen years in operational quality and process design at Tata Group, HP, and HGS. He came into recruitment as a systems thinker first and a hiring practitioner second, which is still the way he works. Every mandate is a process. Every placement is an outcome the data should be able to predict.

Across twenty years he has personally led searches for senior leadership and specialist roles across IT, Pharma, BFSI, ER&D, and consulting. He has placed Partner-level leaders into international markets and built executive cohorts for some of the largest pharma and retail GCCs from the ground up.

The reputation he carries across the GCC ecosystem is straightforward. He is the person GCC leaders call when they want a real read on the market. He is candid about what the data shows, willing to be wrong on record, and known to say no to mandates that won't work.

Data without judgment is noise. Judgment without data is guesswork. Twenty years of running placements has taught me the work is at the intersection, and most firms never get there.

Who we are

What we hold ourselves to.

The work we do for our clients only lasts because of how we choose to do it. Our values aren't framed on a wall. They show up in every brief we accept, every search we run, and every honest conversation we have with a client or a candidate.

Courageous

We choose the harder right over the easier wrong. We speak up when something needs saying, and we'd rather have the uncomfortable conversation than let a bad decision stand.

Long-term Thinkers

We build for what lasts. We make decisions we'd be glad to stand behind years from now, and we measure ourselves by what endures.

Empathetic

We put people before process, always. We lead with understanding, treat everyone we work with as a whole person, and never lose sight of the human decision behind every professional one.

Antifragile

We grow through what we're tested by. Hard moments sharpen us, and we come out of every difficult stretch better than we went in.

Relentless

We never settle. We push past good enough, hold ourselves to a higher standard than anyone asks of us, and keep going long after the easy option would have us stop.

Leadership

The people who do the work.

Life at Recruise

A different kind of firm.

We've built Recruise around the long game. Long tenures, long client relationships, long careers built one search at a time. The values we hold ourselves to are the reason the work compounds.

Inside the firm, that means a culture of judgment over process. Honesty over politeness. People over paperwork. We're small enough that everyone owns the outcome and large enough to take on serious work for serious clients.

The team we've built is the proof of the values we've kept.
