The Corelation, an executive search firm in India, works on mid-senior to leadership mandates. You do not need a finished job description to write to us. A role, a reporting line and a rough sense of the stage the company is at is enough to start. If you would rather read first, how we work sets out the method and who we work with sets out the scope.
Other ways to reach us
- Email hello@thecorelation.com. This goes to the founder, not to a shared inbox.
Candidates are welcome to write too. We cannot reply to every note, but we read them all and keep in touch when a search matches.
Before you write
How does a search start?
Write to us with the role, the company and who the hire will report to. We reply to arrange a short conversation with the founder, to understand the brief and say honestly whether we are the right firm for it. If we are, the first piece of work is the leader brief: time with the hiring leader before any sourcing begins.
What should we send with the first message?
The role, the company, and a line on what the hire is for. If you already have a job description, send it, but please do not write one for our benefit. We would rather hear the problem in your own words. Who the role reports to tells us more than the title does.
Do you work outside consumer businesses?
Yes. We take mandates across industries for companies hiring in India. Our own depth is in consumer businesses, and where a role needs knowledge of a field we have not worked in, a senior operator from our network who has held that kind of role assesses alongside us. If we do not think we can do a search well, we will say so.
Will you tell us if the role itself is wrong?
Yes, and early. Sometimes the leader brief shows that the role as written asks for a builder and a finisher in the same person, or that the stage of the company does not match the seniority being hired. We would rather say so before sourcing than place someone into a role that cannot work.
What does working with you cost?
Fees are agreed per search and depend on the seniority of the role and what the search involves. We do not publish a rate card. Every placement carries a three-month replacement guarantee and a 90-day check-in with both sides, and both are included rather than sold separately.
Is the conversation confidential?
Yes. We do not share that a company is hiring, who it is replacing, or the content of the leader brief with anyone outside the search. Candidates hear the honest version of the role and the team, but only once we have agreed with you what can be said and to whom.
Can candidates get in touch too?
Yes. We keep in touch with senior operators across consumer businesses and beyond, whether or not we have a live search for them today. Tell us what you do well, the kind of leader you work best under, and the stage of company you suit. Those matter more to us than a CV.
