How GCC Hiring Works: How to Price a GCC Role

Описание: How do you price a GCC role in India when the market has moved 20–25% in the last 18 months and last year's salary survey is already wrong?

In this episode of How GCC Hiring Works, Sachith Rai, Founder and MD of Recruise Global, walks through the exact five-step compensation benchmarking process that closes senior GCC mandates in 22 days instead of eleven weeks. If you're hiring a CTO, VP Engineering, Director, or any senior leader for a Global Capability Centre in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, or Chennai, this is the framework that decides whether your offer lands or your candidate ghosts.

Most GCC hiring leaders open a mandate, set a comp band from a 12-month-old benchmark, and only discover the band is wrong at week six — when shortlisted candidates start declining first calls. By then the search is already broken. This video shows you how to get the comp right before week one.

WHO THIS IS FOR

THE COMPENSATION BENCHMARKING QUESTION ANSWERED
"How do I price a senior GCC role in India today when salary surveys are outdated, candidates are comparing offers from Google and Amazon, and the comp band I set in week one is already wrong by week three?"

The short answer: stop benchmarking from static surveys. Benchmark from live placement data, recalibrate at week four, and price total compensation — not just base — against the talent profile, not the job title.
