Global Technology MNC
The Challenge
A Fortune 500 technology company needed to hire a Country Head for India — a role that required rare combination of P&L ownership experience, deep India market knowledge, and the ability to operate within a complex global matrix structure. Three prior attempts with other firms had failed.
Our Approach
We conducted a comprehensive market map of 140+ qualified executives across India and the Asia-Pacific region. We engaged 28 candidates, assessed 11 in depth, and presented a shortlist of 4 — each with a detailed assessment note and our recommendation.
The Outcome
The client hired our top-recommended candidate within 9 weeks of brief. The new Country Head delivered 34% revenue growth in their first year and has since been promoted to Regional Head, Asia-Pacific.

Leading Private Sector Bank
The Challenge
A major private sector bank was expanding its retail banking network with 120 new branches across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India. They needed to hire 800+ branch staff — Relationship Managers, Branch Managers, and Operations Officers — within a 12-week window.
Our Approach
We deployed a dedicated team of 8 consultants, ran 14 assessment centres across 6 cities, and partnered with the bank's HR team on employer branding to attract talent in smaller markets. We built a structured onboarding coordination process to ensure day-one readiness.
The Outcome
847 hires completed in 11 weeks — one week ahead of schedule. 91% of hires were still in role at the 12-month mark, against an industry benchmark of 68% for similar bulk hiring exercises.

Global FMCG Conglomerate
The Challenge
A global FMCG company was preparing 40 high-potential managers for senior leadership roles over an 18-month horizon. Their existing L&D programmes were generic and not resonating — participant feedback scores were low and behaviour change was not visible.
Our Approach
We designed a bespoke 6-month Leadership Accelerator — combining monthly full-day workshops, individual executive coaching, a live business challenge project, and 360-degree feedback at entry and exit. All facilitators were former FMCG leaders.
The Outcome
Average participant rating of 4.9/5. 38 of 40 participants were promoted or given expanded roles within 18 months. The client has since run three further cohorts and made People Primus their exclusive L&D partner.

European Manufacturing MNC
The Challenge
Following a major acquisition in India, a European manufacturing MNC needed to integrate two distinct organisational cultures — one highly hierarchical, one flat and collaborative — without losing the talent that made the acquired company valuable.
Our Approach
We ran a 3-month Culture Integration Programme: diagnostic workshops with 200+ employees, a joint values co-creation process with leadership, and a cascade of facilitated team sessions to embed the new cultural norms. We also designed a manager toolkit for sustaining the culture day-to-day.
The Outcome
Post-integration attrition dropped from a projected 35% to 11%. Employee engagement scores improved by 22 points in the first post-integration survey. The integration was cited as a case study in the parent company's global HR conference.

What Our Clients Say
"People Primus found us a Country Head after two other firms had failed. Their market intelligence, candidate quality, and communication throughout the process were in a different league entirely."
Vikram Nair
CHRO, Technology MNC
"847 hires in 11 weeks, 91% still in role a year later. I've worked with a lot of recruitment partners — People Primus operates at a level I haven't seen elsewhere."
Sunita Krishnamurthy
VP Talent Acquisition, Financial Services
"The Leadership Accelerator changed how our managers think and operate. The facilitators had lived our challenges — that credibility made all the difference. We're now on our fourth cohort."
