What Global Placements does

Global Placements, founded in 1994 by Srinivasu Nagalla and headquartered in Hyderabad, India, is an international recruitment firm that places Indian teaching and healthcare professionals into institutional clients abroad. The company operates two parallel verticals: international nurse recruitment (Singapore, UK, Ireland, Malta, UAE, Oman, Qatar) and academic/teacher recruitment (USA, Ethiopia, Maldives, Zambia, Kurdistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia). It claims more than 16,000 cumulative placements and an active client base of 150+ institutions across 20+ countries, including Singapore government hospitals, MOH Holdings (MOHH), Cambridge University Hospital, Ireland HSE, and multiple ministries of education and public universities.

The company's core operating technology is a proprietary pre-selection protocol that pairs subject-matter experts drawn from premier Indian institutes (IIT, IIM, IISc) with a web-based recruitment platform for early-stage candidate filtering and matching. Supporting infrastructure includes an online registration and vacancy portal (globalplacements.ind.in), dedicated email/phone channels segmented by candidate type, and specialized licensure support such as Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) examination preparation. Marketing and candidate-sourcing leverage the company website, LinkedIn, Facebook (separate nursing and teaching pages), Instagram, email, and on-ground recruitment drives in India.

Global Placements monetizes primarily through transaction fees charged to institutional employers for sourcing, screening, documentation, interview coordination, and placement of candidates, supplemented by professional services (registration, documentation, interview prep) offered to candidate job seekers. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with field engagement targeting ministries, government hospital clusters, public/private universities, and schools; there are no disclosed intermediaries or franchise models. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per mandate. The company has no external funding, is founder/family-owned, and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range.
