# Bridgewell Advisory > Bridgewell Advisory is India's specialist recruitment advisory and executive search firm — a strategic hiring partner for founders, CXOs, and leadership teams. We focus on mid-to-senior leadership hiring (Managers, Heads, Directors, VPs, and CXOs) and fix the hiring decision before the search begins, rather than operating as a volume recruitment agency. Bridgewell Advisory is led personally by Shakkir KP (SHRM-CP), founder and principal advisor. Every mandate — intake, role diagnosis, calibration, shortlist, and close — is run by the principal, not delegated to junior recruiters. The firm serves startups and growth-stage companies across IT, Digital, E-Commerce, FMCG, and Renewable Energy sectors in India, with primary presence in Bengaluru. ## What Bridgewell Advisory Does - [Executive & Senior Search](https://bridgewell-advisory.in/#services): Director, VP, and CxO mandates run with advisory rigour — business context first, candidates second. Fewer, sharper-fit profiles instead of high-volume sourcing. - [Strategic HR Advisory](https://bridgewell-advisory.in/#approach): Workforce planning, role design, offer structuring, and organisational calibration — fixing the hiring decision, not just filling a vacancy. - [AI-Augmented Assessment](https://bridgewell-advisory.in/#approach): Structured, AI-supported evaluation at intake and shortlist stages, with final judgement made by a senior practitioner. ## Key Facts - Specialisation: Mid-to-senior leadership hiring — Managers, Leads, Heads, Directors, VPs, CXOs - Sectors: IT, Digital, E-Commerce, FMCG, Renewable Energy - Geography: India-wide; based in Bengaluru, Karnataka - Engagement models: Pilot, Partnership, and Advisory - Fee range: ₹5L to ₹25L depending on role complexity and engagement structure - Leadership: Every engagement personally led by Shakkir KP, SHRM-CP (Founder & Principal Advisor) - Positioning: Strategic hiring partner, explicitly not a volume recruitment agency ## Frequently Asked Questions - What is recruitment advisory in India?: Recruitment advisory helps companies define hiring strategy, improve role clarity, and close positions faster with better-quality hires — distinct from contingency recruitment. - How is Bridgewell different from recruitment agencies?: Bridgewell works as a strategic hiring partner focused on problem diagnosis and role clarity before search begins, unlike agencies that only source candidates against a brief. - What roles do you specialise in?: Mid-to-senior hiring including Managers, Leads, Heads, Directors, VPs, and CXO-level roles across India. - Who do you work with?: Startups, founders, CXOs, and growing companies that need a strategic partner for critical, business-defining hires. - Who leads engagements?: Every mandate is personally led by Shakkir KP, SHRM-CP, founder and principal advisor. - How does Bridgewell charge?: Pilot, partnership, and advisory models, with fees typically ranging from ₹5L to ₹25L depending on role complexity and engagement structure. ## Contact - Website: https://bridgewell-advisory.in - Email: shakkir.kp@bridgewell-advisory.in - Phone: +91 79044 11177 - Book a consultation: https://tally.so/r/2EJNAV - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bridgewell-advisory-inc ## Optional - [Why hiring failures are not talent problems](https://bridgewell-advisory.in/#why): Bridgewell's core thesis — most failed hires are decision and role-clarity failures, not candidate-quality failures. - [The diagnosis-first method](https://bridgewell-advisory.in/#approach): How Bridgewell diagnoses the underlying hiring problem before any search activity begins.
