Randstad India CFO says executive hiring booming
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • 15,000+ new hires are incoming at Randstad India — and that’s just for staffing roles, according to CFO Nagesh Bailur in a chat with Alekh at ETCFO.
  • Randstad’s executive hiring is also going to skyrocket this year.

What is Randstad?

Headquartered in the Netherlands, Randstad NV is a global specialist recruitment agency:

It provides a robust HR services portfolio from:

  • Staffing
  • Executive Search
  • Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

And guess what? India now ranks as Randstad’s second-largest hub globally with 70,000+ employees on its payroll.

What is Randstad Staffing?

They specialize in temporary, contract, and full-time placements, helping businesses ramp up with the right people, at the right time.

It is all about matching top talent with companies that need them—fast.

Randstad staffing to hire 15,000 employees

Why the surge?

  • Demand for “digital skills”
  • Boom in Global Capability Centres (GCCs)
  • Executive talent crunch in AI/ML and Tech leadership

Alongside staffing, executive hiring is set to jump by 30–35%!

Why? India is in need of Senior Leaders who understand…

  • Digital transformation
  • AI & Machine Learning
  • Sustainability
  • GCC leadership roles

“Our global operations rely heavily on India for AI-led digital transformation and cost-efficient service delivery.” – Nagesh Bailur, CFO, Randstad India in conversation with ET CFO.

Key sectors driving Randstad India’s growth in FY26

Randstad’s FY26 game plan is laser-focused on sectors aligned with India’s growth story:

  • Manufacturing: Auto & electronics in Chennai and Pune
  • Digital Tech & AI: Talent demand is accelerating
  • BFSI: Especially hot in Mumbai and GIFT City
  • IT: Traditional roles may be flat, but high-skill digital hiring is expected to rebound by Q3–Q4
  • GCCs: Randstad’s own GCC team will grow 20%, with Hyderabad and Chennai as key hubs

Randstad’s India Forecast

Despite global slowdowns, Randstad India is bullish on FY26:

  • 15%+ revenue growth
  • 20%+ profitability growth
  • Continued investment in AI, digital, and RPO solutions

“We remain cautiously optimistic—but firmly bullish.” – Bailur

Why does India matter more than ever to Randstad?

India is now Randstad’s largest talent base worldwide. 

It’s central to Randstad’s AI, digital, and global RPO strategy

As Europe and the Americas face slowdowns, India is surging ahead.
