While rearchitecting our organization in South Asia I had the pleasure of working with the Propella team to source candidate for several key leadership roles. I had little experience recruiting senior talent in India and interviewed a few consulting firms, including some of the largest recruiting operations in the world. What distinguished Propella from the rest was the unique level of insight and deep relationship portfolio Manish brings to the process in our industry vertical. Working with Propella as a key partner in our talent acquisition program accelerated our ability to place the best people from the market in strategic roles in a way that aligned the experience and potential of candidates with the cultural values and business plan of our organization. Our engagement with Propella enabled a new era of growth and maturity in the region and I can wholeheartedly endorse Propella as a key human resources partner.

I have worked with Manish since Aug 2010 and we have closed several strategic roles together. Manish is very professional and always delivers results. He quickly understands the client’s requirements and adapts his search accordingly while maintaining his focus on delivering great quality. Manish’s Propella is our preferred recruitment partner.

Consultants at Propella gain a very thorough understanding of the mandates prior to commencing their assignments. They also have a great sense of our company’s culture and are hence very capable in providing us with their advice which we take seriously in the decision making process. Most of our recent senior management hiring has been done through Propella Consulting Group. We would definitely recommend Propella to other FMCG companies for their hiring needs.

I was approached with an opportunity by Propella at a time when I wasn’t actively looking for a change. I did not know much about the organisation too. However, looking back, it was a good decision made. Manish with his understanding of the organisation and why I should consider the position and what will make me successful in getting that job was clearly made me consider it and also get the job eventually. His team was great with coordinating between me and the company and always being on top of things was very helpful too.

Propella Consulting Group, Headed by Mr. Manish Ballani is by the far the most impressive consulting company I have dealt with. They have been professional and very thorough throughout the whole process consistently. All the allocated consultants were very approachable, professional and proactive. All consultants at Propella understand the mandates perfectly prior to commencing their search and ensure they find us the best fit. We are really impressed by Propella’s friendly yet dedicated approach. We have already recommended Propella to our clients for their manpower requirements and will continue to do so. And finally a great big THANK YOU to Propella on behalf of our team.

Manish Ballani from Propella had approached us a time when we were looking to hire some extremely important senior management roles at NBSS which is a JV between Nilkamal, a large Indian organisation and BITO its German counterpart. It can get slightly tricky to understand the cultural perspective whilst providing the right candidates. We were unable to identify the appropriate candidate for a while until Propella came into the picture and made it quite easy for us. Their processes are extremely thorough and not often are you put in a dilemma during the decision making process wherein you like more than 1 candidate and find it difficult to make a decision. It is a good position to be in as an employer. I wish Propella all the best.

Propella Consulting Group has been our preferred manpower partner over the last few years. Manish and Propella have worked very closely with DSV in closing some senior and strategic mandates. They have a very strong understanding of the logistics industry and possess a strong team of proactive and professional consultants who have delivered consistently over a long period of time.

I have been associated with Propella Conslting Group for close to 5 years now. To begin with, the 5 years journey has been great and the partnership with Propella has grown incredibly. Manish and his team have closed numerous positions for us right from CXO levels to mid and sr. management roles. Important thing about Propella is that they understand our business and they also understand our requirement, they won’t just pass on the CV’s without a thorough qualification process.

Propella’s USP is the quality of consultants that it recruits and the way they constantly skill them to understand businesses, manage stakeholders and approach headhunting as a process.

They go out of their way to partner with their clients and make every penny spent on recruiting through Propella, worth the same by mapping the business needs to the candidate profiles and advising clients on the best fit in terms of the skills available. I worked with them to source against some niche skills and it was a pleasure to see the consultants taking an effort to understand businesses and source sharp profiles matching the needs.
It is a pleasure working with this dynamic and vibrant team.
