See what our clients have to say about us:

While re architecting our organization in South Asia I had the pleasure of working with the Propella team to source candidates for several key leadership roles. I had little experience recruiting senior talent in APAC and interviewed a few consulting firms, including some of the largest recruiting operations in the world. What distinguished Propella from the rest was the unique level of insight and deep relationship portfolio Manish brings to the process in our industry vertical. Working with Propella as a key partner in our talent acquisition program accelerated our ability to place the best people from the market in strategic roles in a way that aligned the experience and potential of candidates with the cultural values and business plan of our organization. Our engagement with Propella enabled a new era of growth and maturity in the region and I can wholeheartedly endorse Propella as a key human resources partner.
