Solution

  • Optimizing Talent Sourcing for on-time Capacity fulfillment 

Apart from this seasonal and volume hiring the client also requires a significant number of talent for its various other support processes on a project basis. These two entirely different workforce requirements needed different staffing strategies. Two separate and dedicated teams of expert recruiters with expertise in volume hiring and niche hiring maintain an in-house database of talent that helps to fulfill our client’s requirements on-time-every-time.

  • Harnessing the Power of Technology

Our IT enabled onboarding, attendance and leave management as well as query resolution process reduces the time taken to fulfill our client’s requirements.

  • Dedicated HR Support

Creating internal recruitment teams for such a wide variation of staffing needs is not only an operational challenge but also involves significant costs. Managing this talent and providing timely HR support to this large pool of employees is another resource constraint. Orcapod provides a dedicated team of HR business partners who regularly connect, engage, monitor as well as provide timely HR support to this large contingent workforce for our client. This saves additional operational costs and creates process efficiencies for our clients

  • Achieving 100% Compliance

Our Internal compliance team maintains comprehensive documentation to comply with all statutory requirements. Our compliances are subject to regular audits by the client and have always achieved 100% compliance.
