How we hire technology
Technology is NM's other largest delivery area. We hire engineers, product people and platform specialists for product companies, services organisations, global capability centres, and for the technology teams inside businesses that are not technology businesses at all.
That last group is why this is a specialism rather than only an industry page. A bank, a logistics operator and a hospital group all hire backend engineers, and none of them appears under an IT industry heading.
The defining problem is separating eight years of experience from one year repeated eight times. Our screening includes a functional conversation about architecture decisions, ownership and trade-offs, so what reaches you has been filtered on substance rather than on keyword overlap with the job description.

Why technology hiring fails
Keyword-matched shortlists
A CV containing the right framework proves nothing. We screen on how the candidate used it, what they owned, and what they would change now.
Counter-offers and parallel processes
Strong engineers run three processes at once. We track competing offers honestly and tell you when speed matters more than another interview round.
Long interview loops lose people
Five-round processes shed candidates. We help compress and structure the loop without lowering the bar.
Notice periods dominate the timeline
Sixty to ninety days is standard at services organisations, and it sits on top of your process, not inside it.
What we are seeing in technology
- 01
Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune hold the deepest product engineering pools; Chennai and Coimbatore offer lower attrition.
- 02
Cloud, platform and security skills carry the sharpest premiums relative to general engineering.
- 03
Remote and hybrid expectations vary by company stage and must be settled before approaching candidates.
- 04
Two-week hiring cycles are achievable and are frequently the deciding advantage over a larger competitor.
Engineering teams built in India for overseas companies
Software engineering is the most established India based function for US and Australian employers, whether as a handful of embedded engineers or a full capability centre. We recruit into your structure, sequencing leadership ahead of the team beneath it.

Technology & Software Recruitment, frequently asked
The industry page covers recruiting for technology companies. This page covers recruiting technology people for any employer, including banks, manufacturers and hospital groups whose engineers would never appear under an IT sector heading.
Our recruiters run a functional screening conversation covering architecture decisions, ownership and trade-offs before a profile is shared. Where a client requires it, we also arrange independent technical assessment.
Almost certainly. We screen on engineering judgement and the specific problems a candidate has solved, which transfers across stacks far better than the stack name suggests.
