What Chicago employers hire most
These three functions account for most of what we build in India for Chicago companies. The team is employed inside your own structure and stays in India.
Technology & Software Recruitment
The most established India based function for US and Australian employers, whether that is a handful of embedded engineers or a full capability centre. Leadership is sequenced ahead of the team beneath it.
- Engineering
- Platform & Cloud
AI & Machine Learning Recruitment
India has applied AI depth at scale rather than in pockets. The first two or three hires set the technical standard for everyone after them, so they get search discipline, not a volume process.
- Applied AI & ML
- Data Science & Analytics
Marketing & Growth Recruitment
Performance marketing, content, SEO and marketing operations are among the most commonly built India based functions. Execution work travels well across a timezone gap; strategy roles need more overlap than most plans allow for.
- Performance & Growth
- Brand & Category
The Chicago talent market
Chicago combines derivatives and financial services with a large manufacturing and logistics headquarters base. India based teams here commonly support finance, supply chain and IT functions.
The overlap with India is limited to the Indian evening, similar to the East Coast.
Compensation note
Below coastal US markets for equivalent roles, which narrows the India cost gap slightly but does not close it.
