Retail Business HiringChallenges

The challenges that exist in the Retail Industry in India are unique to India and requires the capability of experienced minds to solve some of the problems. The Indian psyche is different from the west and even the shopping patterns of Indian consumers differ according to their socio-economic profiles and backgrounds.

HR – A Critical Business Process

The Retail industry is facing a severe shortage of talented leaders especially at mid-management level. The areas that have become critical to fill are in technology, supply chain, business development, marketing, product development and research. Successful retail organisations in the Indian Retail & E-commerce industry are in the process of creating a robust second and third level of management by hiring aggressively for these key roles.

The retail industry creates plentiful jobs in the market but hiring key managers and leaders to head the next phase of growth remains a challenge. Retail companies in India are now doing a balancing act between infrastructure costs and hiring for the future vis-a-vis keeping a tab on increased pressure on margins due to wage cost. With our extensive map of senior and mid level talent available, we help International retailers entering India plan their operations in advance.

In the Indian retail business the importance of employee selection and training cannot be overemphasized. Many foreign retailers are surprised when they learn that monetary compensation although important to employees is usually not their main concern. Fairness, security, honesty and opportunity are factors more important than pay. As Indian retail industry headhunters we understand what motivates employees to join an organisation & perform.
