About Fern Consulting

We Don't Just Close Mandates. We Build Capability.

Founded in 2017, Fern Consulting is one of India’s leading women-led recruitment and HR advisory firms. We were built on a single, powerful conviction — that talent strategy must sit at the very heart of business strategy. In today’s hyper-competitive Indian market, organisations that treat hiring as a transactional function are left behind. We exist to change that.

We operate as a true strategic partner — not a vendor. Working hand-in-hand with leadership teams across India, we design and execute structured talent frameworks that go far beyond filling vacancies. Every hire we deliver is aligned to your growth objectives, your culture, and your long-term organisational vision.

As a 100% women-led firm, we bring a differentiated approach to recruitment — combining deep market intelligence, rigorous evaluation methodology, and genuine human empathy. The result? Hiring outcomes that create measurable business impact and lasting competitive advantage for Indian organisations of all sizes.

client feedback

We partnered with Fern Consulting for our annual campus hiring across 12 engineering and management institutes in India. The results exceeded every expectation — 140 offers made, 96% joining ratio, and zero chaos in the process. Their employer branding support on campus was exceptional. Students were engaged, assessments were smooth, and our brand visibility on campus went up significantly. Highly recommended for any company serious about campus talent.

Priya Sharma Head of Talent Acquisition, IT Services Company, Bengaluru

When we had to go through a difficult downsizing phase, we were very conscious about how we treated our departing colleagues. Fern Consulting's outplacement team was nothing short of extraordinary. They provided every affected employee with personalised career coaching, resume support, and active placement assistance. Within 60 days, over 80% of our impacted employees had secured new roles. Our remaining team saw how we handled it — and their trust in leadership actually grew. Fern Consulting protected our employer brand at the most critical moment.

What sets Fern Consulting apart is the quality of conversation before the search even begins. They asked us questions that our own internal team hadn't thought to ask. That level of strategic thinking translated into a search process that was focused, fast, and incredibly well-calibrated. We hired a Senior Finance Leader for a critical role in under 25 days. I would not hesitate to recommend Fern Consulting to any organisation looking for a true hiring partner — not just a recruitment vendor.

Vikram Nair Managing Director, Financial Services Firm, Delhi NCR

As a fast-scaling startup, we needed a recruitment partner who understood our urgency, our culture, and our constraints — all at once. Fern Consulting delivered on all three. They helped us hire eight senior professionals across technology, marketing, and operations in under 45 days — without ever compromising on the quality bar we set. Their team was responsive, honest, and genuinely excited about our mission. It felt like they were part of our team, not an external agency. We continue to partner with them for all our critical hires.

FAQs

our frequently asked question

Fern Consulting offers three specialised recruitment and HR advisory services — Lateral Recruitment (mid to leadership-level hiring), Campus Hiring (end-to-end early career talent pipeline design and execution), and Outplacement Services (structured workforce transition support for organisations and impacted employees). We are a one-stop strategic talent partner for Indian businesses.

Unlike traditional staffing agencies that focus on volume, Fern Consulting operates as a strategic talent advisory partner. We follow a structured 4-step hiring methodology — Business Alignment, Talent Mapping, Structured Evaluation, and Governance & Delivery. As a 100% women-led firm, we bring empathy, ethical practices, and long-term partnership thinking to every engagement — not just a transactional resume-forwarding approach.

We serve a wide range of industries across India including FMCG, BFSI (Banking, Financial Services & Insurance), Information Technology, Manufacturing, Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, Retail & E-Commerce, Infrastructure, and Professional Services. Our diverse industry exposure allows us to bring cross-sector talent insights to every mandate we handle.

We work with organisations of all sizes — from early-stage startups and mid-market companies to large Indian corporates and multinational companies operating in India. Our solutions are always customised to your specific business stage, hiring volume, and talent requirements. Whether you need one senior leader or a hundred campus graduates — we have the capability to deliver.

For lateral and senior hiring mandates, our average turnaround time is 15 to 30 business days depending on the seniority of the role, industry complexity, and specific competency requirements. We prioritise quality over speed — but our structured methodology ensures we never compromise on timelines without a valid reason. We provide regular progress updates throughout every search.

Getting started is simple. Reach out to us via our contact form, email, or phone. Our team will schedule a free discovery call within 24 business hours to understand your hiring needs, business context, and timelines. We then propose a customised engagement plan — with clear deliverables, timelines, and commercial terms — before beginning any search. No long-winded paperwork. Just a focused conversation and a clear plan.

Most campus recruitment vendors simply organise drives. Fern Consulting builds complete campus hiring ecosystems. We design your end-to-end campus strategy — from identifying the right institutes and activating employer branding, to designing assessments, managing bulk offer rollouts, and building internship-to-FTE conversion pipelines. We treat campus hiring as a long-term talent investment, not a one-time event.

Outplacement is a structured support service provided to employees who are being let go due to organisational restructuring, downsizing, or role redundancy. It includes career coaching, resume building, interview preparation, and active job search support. Companies need it because how you treat departing employees directly impacts your employer brand, your remaining workforce's morale, and your ability to attract future talent. Fern Consulting makes this process dignified, structured, and effective for both the organisation and the individual.

Yes, Fern Consulting is proudly a 100% women-led recruitment and HR advisory firm. Far from being a limitation, our women-led approach is one of our greatest strengths. Our team brings exceptional emotional intelligence, strong stakeholder relationship management, detail-oriented execution, and an ethical, transparent approach to every client engagement. Our track record of 8+ years and 500+ successful placements across India speaks for itself.
