What Global Consultants does

Global Consultants Inc is a privately held, India-headquartered recruitment search firm offering five service modules: Torch Bearer (retained executive search for Board, C-suite and VP-level mandates), Contingency Search (volume hiring for junior to middle management), Global Search (cross-border recruitment across LATAM, US, Asia, Africa and Europe for both expat and local hires), Turn-Key Projects (setting up key functions in startups and midsize companies, including competition mapping), and Contract Staffing (end-to-end sourcing, deployment and payroll management). The company is headquartered in Bangalore with a branch office in Nagpur and partner networks across the US and South East Asia, serving clients from Large Multinationals to Midsize companies and emerging startups across Information Technology, Telecommunication, Banking & Finance, Manufacturing, FMCG and New Age Industries such as Mobile Advertising, Online, E-commerce and Media. Documented scale markers include 250+ positions filled in three months for a leading Telecom VAS Company, 100+ engineering roles in four months for a leading IT Services Company, and a contingency client retention rate above 80%.

The firm is founder-led by Shamim Siddiqui, with co-founder Ruby, VP-Operations & Recruitment Sanford (focused on cross-cultural mandates in China, US and SEA), and Nagpur branch head Arman (focused on FMCG and BFSI). Revenue mechanics are split across retained executive search fees, contingency placement fees, cross-border search fees, project-based turn-key fees and managed-services revenue from contract staffing; no pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The business operates as a direct, sales-led B2B services firm with no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents or certifications, and no technology platform beyond its recruitment methodology. Customer concentration appears moderate, anchored by repeat enterprise clients in Telecom VAS and IT Services, with broader diversification across verticals and geographies.
