Executive search for HR and people leadership roles
§01 · Why This Is Different

A CHRO who can scale culture across 50 new stores a year is not managing a resume pipeline.

Retail and D2C brands scaling store count fast need an HR leader who can build hiring, training, and retention systems for frontline teams while still running board-level people strategy. That mix is already proven inside a competitor's HR organization, not browsing job boards. Reaching them takes research and a confidential approach, not a job posting.

§03 · Why a Specialist

A CA-founded team that scales headcount without losing the culture.

Four things a specialist knows about HR hiring for growth-stage retail and D2C that a generalist agency doesn't.

→ 01

Headhunted, Not Sourced

We reach directly into competitor retail, jewelry, and D2C HR teams. The strongest CHROs and HR leaders in this category are not job-hunting, so we don't wait for applications.

→ 02

We Know What Scaling Culture Actually Takes

Hiring hundreds of store staff a year and protecting culture at the same time are different skills from running a static corporate HR function. We screen for the specific mix a growth-stage retail or D2C brand actually needs, not a generic HR résumé.

→ 03

We Read the P&L Behind the Headcount Plan

A Chartered Accountant founder means we understand what a senior HR hire actually costs against a real headcount growth plan, not just what a CTC slip says.

→ 04

Success-Fee Only

No retainer, no upfront fee. You pay when a candidate joins.

§05 · Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

What HR roles do you place?

Chief Human Resources Officers, Heads of Talent Acquisition, People Operations Heads, and Learning & Culture leaders, for retail, jewelry, and D2C brands scaling past their first 50 stores or an equivalent revenue stage.

How is this different from a generalist recruitment agency?

We headhunt directly from competitor retail, jewelry, and D2C brands rather than sourcing from job boards. The strongest HR leaders in this category, especially at the CHRO level, are not applying anywhere; reaching them takes research, timing, and a confidential approach, not a job posting.

Do you source only in India, or internationally too?

Primarily India, sourced from competitor retail, jewelry, and D2C brands. International or NRI candidate sourcing is available when a client specifically wants it.

What does it cost to hire a CHRO or HR leader through Boardroom CXO?

Executive search is success-fee based; there is no retainer or upfront fee. Brief us on the mandate and we'll come back with a market read before you commit a budget.
