Real Placements: Career Opportunities for 2026

Real Placements is a specialized staffing agency in India focused on lateral recruitment for the consulting and business services sectors. We connect experienced professionals with high-impact roles. The most important thing to know is that we prioritize candidates with proven domain expertise who are ready for immediate placement in mid-to-senior level positions.

Who pays Real Placements

Paid by the employer, not by you.

Real Placements earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.

What that means for you

Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

What sectors and roles does Real Placements focus on?

We specialize in lateral hiring within the consulting and business services industries. Our focus is on placing experienced professionals into roles that require specific industry knowledge and operational expertise. We primarily handle mid-level to senior positions where candidates can hit the ground running to solve complex business challenges for our clients.

Where you meet

How does the staffing process work for a candidate?

The process begins with a review of your profile against our current active mandates. If your skills align with our client requirements, we conduct an initial screening to assess your experience and career goals. We then present your profile to relevant hiring managers and manage the interview coordination, feedback loops, and final offer negotiations on your behalf.

What should I expect during the recruitment engagement?

Expect a professional and transparent communication cadence focused on roles that match your specific background. We act as your advocate during the hiring process, providing feedback after interviews and guiding you through the salary negotiation phase. Please note that our services are free for candidates, as our fees are paid directly by the hiring companies.

Your side

How can I get on the radar of Real Placements recruiters?

To stand out, ensure your resume highlights specific project outcomes and measurable achievements within consulting or business services. Use industry-standard keywords related to your functional expertise to help our search tools identify your profile. Proactively reaching out with a brief note about your current availability and target roles is more effective than submitting a generic application.

Is Real Placements the right fit for my job search?

We are an ideal partner if you are an experienced professional looking to transition within the consulting or business services sectors. If you are an entry-level candidate or seeking a career change into an entirely different industry, our current mandates may not align with your profile. We recommend focusing on agencies that specialize in your specific level of experience for the best results.

How to work with Real Placements: candidate playbook

Frequently asked questions

Should I register with multiple agencies at the same time?

Yes, it is common practice to work with multiple agencies, but you must be transparent about where your profile has been submitted. Never allow two agencies to submit your resume to the same company for the same role, as this creates administrative conflicts that can disqualify your application.

What happens to my data after I submit my CV?

Your data is stored in our secure candidate database to be matched against future openings. We do not share your personal information or resume with any client without your explicit permission for each specific role.

Should I apply directly to a company if I am also working with an agency?

It is generally best to choose one path to avoid confusion. If you have already applied directly, inform your recruiter immediately so they can check if they can still represent you or if the company policy prevents it.

How should I follow up if I do not hear back after an interview?

Wait at least three to five business days before sending a polite follow-up email to your recruiter. We are often waiting for feedback from the client, and a brief check-in helps us prompt them for an update on your status.
