Creating meaningful change beyond business.
SYMPHONI HR is a Mumbai-based executive search firm, est. 2003, running five structured inclusion programmes alongside its ten commercial practices. 100,000+ candidates hired across 50+ Indian cities.
A search firm sits at a rare intersection: every mandate is a chance to open a door that might otherwise have stayed shut. Our social impact is built into how we hire — through programmes that widen access to opportunity, and a value system that holds us accountable to our 4Cs: Clients, Candidates, Competition, and Community.
Inclusion, by design.
Five programmes that make diverse hiring deliberate — not an afterthought.
Accelerating gender diversity with talent pipelines for women across leadership, mid-management, and early-career roles — including QWANT, our diversity initiative for quant and analytics roles.
Connecting ex-service professionals — discipline, resilience, experience — with corporates seeking mature, high-performing talent.
Championing workplace accessibility by identifying and enabling opportunities for differently-abled professionals.
Promoting representation and visibility for LGBTQIA+ professionals through equitable recruitment and inclusive workplaces.
Skill refresh, flexible engagement, and role reintegration for professionals re-entering the workforce after career breaks.
Community, honestly.
We measure impact the way we measure search: by outcomes, not announcements. Careers restarted after a break. First leadership seats earned by candidates the market had overlooked. Teams that look more like the country they serve.
We report inclusion outcomes the way we report search outcomes: by placement, by level, and by retention at twelve months. That is the standard we hold our clients' hiring to, and we hold ourselves to the same.
We don’t just discover talent. We unearth the exceptional.
