Recrew
AI agents plus expert recruiters for tech hiring in India. Outcome-based success fee, no retainers or upfront fees.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Recrew is an outcome-based hiring partner for mid- to senior tech roles in India. You pay a success fee only when the candidate joins. No retainers and no upfront fees.
Stands out for: AI agents source, outreach, and schedule around the clock. An expert recruiter reviews every profile before it reaches you. The commercial trigger is joining, not shortlist volume.
Watch out for: The success-fee percentage is not published. This is a service for India tech, engineering, AI/ML, data, product, and leadership, including GCC build-outs, not a self-serve sourcing login.
Overview
Recrew pairs AI agents with India-market recruiters. Agents draft JDs, scan profiles, run outreach, and book screens. Humans own strategy, screening, and the shortlist. Coverage is mid- to senior technology in India, including GCC hiring across time zones.
Commercials are a success fee due when the hire joins. The homepage states zero retainer and zero upfront fee. Time-to-hire and cost-per-hire claims (65% lower time-to-hire, 57% lower cost per hire) are vendor figures, not a public rate card. There is no self-serve plan table with a percentage.
Who it's for
Best for
- US, EU, Japan, or Middle East companies building GCCs in India
- Founders hiring mid- to senior engineers, AI/ML, or product in India
- Teams that will not pay a retainer and want pay-on-join
- Hiring leads who want AI-sourced lists that a human still vets
Not ideal for
- Companies that need a software seat and an API, not a recruiting partner
- Non-India or non-tech hiring. That is outside the stated coverage
