The human capital management market was worth around $11 billion in 2014 and is expected to grow to more than $17 billion by 2019. The fusion of technology, organizations and HR is gathering momentum. Globalization and demographic shifts are redefining the concept of workplace where the emphasis is towards employees who are more connected and tech savvy in order to deliver uninterrupted services. The HR solutions industry has transformed from being only a manpower consultancy industry to an end-to-end “Hire to retire” solutions industry. The key change in service has been on meeting HR requirements on account of the growing complexity of business models. More and more clients are opting for a temporary staffing model to have smaller bench strength that helps them to build agility of workforce, thereby leveraging on skills and cost. The industry is also witnessing an increase in the number of organizations outsourcing its employee life cycle processes including payroll process. This change in dynamics is challenging and at the same time is creating more opportunity for HR Solutions firms to showcase their creativity and innovation in all the services provided.

However, while looking to grab this opportunity, the solution providers face challenges in ensuring that the right talent is hired for the right job, followed by taking care of talent retention. SiE Brains, headquartered in Bangalore, understands the fact that people are motivated through different means of driving force and hence has designed its screening process to identify the motivation drivers for each of its candidates which in turn helps SiE Brains in matching the candidate and company needs. This approach ensures ‘right candidate for right job along with guaranteed talent retention’. Having its presence in multiple locations in India, SiE Brains has expertise in a wide range of HR functions and consulting in the emerging market. The company offers local expertise backed by global resources and a network of professionals. It provides this market with unique operation strategy and on-time service delivery. “Here at SiE Brains we believe that proper manpower can ensure an exponential business growth for any enterprise.

Making a difference 

Hiring the right staffing service can make a huge difference in reducing labor costs. Experienced staffing companies have the ability to scale a company’s workforce depending on the demand for labor and on the peak period of business. Hiring the right staffing firm can give enterprises more freedom to work on their core business. The best staffing companies can help employers minimize turnover which directly translates to more money going to the bottom line. SiE Brains is able to minimize turnover because of its well established relationships with its pool of applicants.

Leadership hiring: 

SiE Brains had an interesting assignment to close on 6 CFO’s for a reputed international client across the globe. It was the firm that the international client had contacted as they were unable to close the position for almost 7-8 months. All the CFO candidates needed to have good global exposure and be multilingual. SiE Brains was given a month’s time to close these positions from the client. The company accomplished it by indulging in a lot of R&D of availability of suitable candidates working in similar field and its MI team leveraged a pipeline of identified resources. 

Expedited Temporary Staffing:

One of the largest IT Product Manufactures and distributor in the World needed immediate temporary workers to meet their staffing demands for shorter and long term projects. They had never previously used a temporary staffing company locally, but due to the urgency, they made a decision to partner with SiE Brains for their Staffing needs. They made this decision due to the high number of employees they needed to acquire and the lack of talent.

SiE Brains went to work immediately by first analyzing the requirements and the amount of staff needed to produce the results in a short time frame. It partnered with its clients corporate human resource department, working closely with them to make sure it was not only providing quality applicants, but also ones that would fit with their award winning culture. SiE Brains set up a one day job fair at a local hotel with 10 of our recruiters, the Management. The team proceeded to do over 250 interviews for the day, with the goal of each interview lasting no more 10-15 minutes, and with a grading scale of 1-4 for each applicant. Within a month of the start of the project, Human Resource Staffing was able to provide a total of 80 employees to the client during this very challenging time. It was not just the quantity of the temporary workers, but also the quality that SiE Brains was able to deliver.
