Country Head – India | Recruitment & HR Services

Build the business. Lead from the front.

Elitez India is looking for an entrepreneurial recruitment leader to build and scale our India recruitment business.

This is a 0-to-1 mandate, not a role focused only on managing an established operation. You will have an existing company platform and recruitment capabilities to build on, but should be comfortable creating opportunities, winning clients, driving early closures, and developing a repeatable business model.

We need someone who enjoys building—not someone waiting for a ready-made client portfolio or a large team.

Your responsibilities

- Define priority sectors, target clients, and a focused go-to-market strategy.
- Personally lead prospecting, client meetings, proposals, commercial negotiations, and current-client acquisition.
- Win and deliver executive search, leadership, and niche recruitment assignments.
- Work closely with recruiters on search strategy, candidate assessment, client management, and offer closures.
- Own revenue, gross profit, operating costs, and collections against an agreed business plan.




- Establish practical sales, recruitment, and performance-management processes.
- Coach the existing team and expand capabilities as business performance supports growth.
- Build lasting client relationships that generate repeat assignments.

Who we are looking for

- A recruitment-agency professional who has built a desk, client portfolio, branch, practice, or business unit from a low or zero base.
- Demonstrated success in personally acquiring clients and converting mandates into collected fees.
- Strong understanding of recruitment delivery, pricing, profitability, and cash collection.
- Comfortable operating with a lean team and remaining hands-on in sales and delivery.
- Experience in executive search, technology, engineering, industrial, or other niche recruitment segments.
- An entrepreneurial mindset, sound judgement, and commitment to ethical business practices.
- Your business-building achievements matter more than your current designation.
