How it works

From job post to
hired in four steps.

No more sifting through hundreds of applications. TalentAffair does the heavy lifting — so every candidate you meet is already worth your time.

01
Share Brief
Share your requirement
Tell us who you need. Whether it's a fractional CMO, a full-time Senior Copywriter, or a dedicated performance marketing team. Share the skills and scope, and we'll take it from there.
02
Vetting
Deep Market Mapping
We tap into our exclusive, pre-vetted talent community. We screen for judgment, taste, and context — not just keywords on a resume. Only the top 1% passing our vetting make the cut.
03
Shortlisting
Receive only the best fit
We forward a curated shortlist directly to your dashboard — typically 3 to 8 candidates per role. Each profile includes screening notes, fit score, and our recommendation. You decide who to interview.
04
Hire
Interview and hire
Schedule interviews directly from your dashboard. Candidates get real-time status updates at every stage. Make an offer, mark as hired, and we close the loop — including feedback to every candidate.
Who We Are

Right people, not just resumes.

Having been on the other side of corporate, we know how hard hiring in India can be. Briefs are vague, portfolios are subjective, and "culture fit" is often just a comfortable assumption.

We’ve spent years reading portfolios, decoding campaigns, and understanding what makes a candidate truly great. We don’t just hire for skill — we hire for judgment, taste, and context. Because great teams aren’t built on guesswork.
