Datamatics Staffing Services Ltd

Datamatics Staffing Services Ltd has been finding professional and senior people for employers since 1969, with clients in India, the Middle East and Africa, and some in Hong Kong, Singapore, Myanmar and South East Asia. The firm describes itself as a talent acquisition company that looks after a client's hiring across the whole range of its organization, across every level of a client's organization. Its specialty is finding candidates across India and placing them either in India or abroad.

Senior searches across the full hierarchy

Executive and professional search is the firm's most visible work. Its published examples include a chief operating officer for the India arm of a European manufacturer of industrial power transmission and conveyor belting products, a deputy general manager for the automotive division of a diversified group headquartered in Doha, Qatar, and a chief operations officer for an Indian chemical company with operations around the world. The mandate in each case is to find a leader able to drive growth and lead operational change.

Digital and technology leadership

The firm has also run searches for technology businesses. These include a sales director for the CareerTech business of a group that works in industrial IoT, WealthTech and CareerTech, a director of product management for a company with offices in the USA, Japan and India, and a managing director for a firm that supplies software products, engineering services and product design consulting in building automation, smart lighting and industrial automation. A partner for the digital transformation practice of a professional services firm, covering assurance, tax, advisory and outsourcing, is another example of this kind of work.

Sectors the firm covers

The firm works in sector groups that include banking and professional services, consumer goods, retail and commodities, industrial engineering and manufacturing, technology and e-commerce, and life sciences with health care. Each sector has its own market for talent, and the firm presents its specialist teams as the way it keeps pace with that market.

Project hiring and recruitment outsourcing

Besides individual searches, the firm offers project recruitment, where it hires in volume for a defined project, and turn-key solutions, where it takes over some or all of a client's recruitment process. Its remaining services are recruitment process outsourcing, which means managing a client's hiring from one point, and overseas deployment, where Indian professionals are recruited for roles outside India.
