We'd rather say no to a mandate than say yes to the wrong hire

Most recruitment firms are built to say yes to everything — every sector, every role, every client who calls. Rigor was built the opposite way. Our core strength is specialist recruitment — permanent, contract and executive search — across BFSI, finance, HR, legal and sales functions, for clients across India, the Gulf and Southeast Asia.

That focus is where the name comes from. Not a tagline — an operating rule. In eight years we've closed 200+ mandates for 18+ clients across 24+ cities, and a large share of that record sits at the top of the org chart: 80+ top-management placements, alongside 60 mid-management and 60+ regular-manpower hires.

Recruitment is the core of what we do. Over time, working closely inside client organisations surfaced a few adjacent needs — payroll accuracy, workforce audits, even aerial site monitoring for infrastructure clients — so we built small, capable teams around those too. They sit alongside the recruitment business, not in front of it.

Clients we've partnered with include Kotak Mahindra Bank, India Ratings & Research, Tata International, Motilal Oswal, Arohan, Johnson Matthey, Chokhani Group and Varmora Tiles & Bathware.
