Most businesses don’t discover their HR gaps until something breaks. A compliance notice. A key hire who quits in 60 days. A founder spending 15 hours a week on people problems that should run themselves. A POSH complaint the IC has no idea how to handle. I fix the system before it breaks and rebuild it when it already has. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I’m Kirti Shinde, Founder of Prowess Consultancy a boutique HR, recruitment, and international POSH advisory based in Mumbai, India. I work remotely with founders and HR heads across India, the US, UK, Canada, Singapore & the UAE. ## 📊 THE NUMBERS • 10+ years across agency and in-house HR • 500+ placements delivered (mid-level to C-suite) • 20+ companies with complete HR infrastructure built from zero • 6 industries at depth • Author of "The Invisible Anchor: Why Growth Without Structure Is Chaos in Disguise" • Certified in International POSH frameworks across US, UK, Canada, Singapore & UAE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## WHAT I BUILD FOR CLIENTS ### ✅ INTERNATIONAL POSH ADVISORY (my specialty) - Policy drafting, IC constitution, training, and audits designed for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions. - If you’re a GCC reporting to a US or UK parent, or an Indian company with remote employees abroad, generic Indian POSH won’t cut it. I build compliance that holds. ### ✅ HR POLICY FRAMEWORKS & EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS - Custom-built, not templated. Designed for your industry and enforceable from Day 1. - My last 5 handbook projects resolved 8-14 compliance gaps each. ### ✅ RECRUITMENT & EXECUTIVE SEARCH - Full-cycle hiring from JD design to offer closure. - Mid-level to C-suite across manufacturing, pharma, retail, hospitality, logistics, real estate and increasingly SaaS and services. - Average time-to-hire reduction: 35-50% within 90 days. ### ✅ HR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STARTUPS & SMEs - Built from zero. - Audit → policy sprint → onboarding system → performance framework → POSH setup. - Founders typically reclaim 10-15 hours per week. ### ✅ HR AUDIT & COMPLIANCE - 8-area HR audits with compliance scorecard and prioritised remediation plan. - Used for investor due diligence, regulatory preparation, and pre-acquisition HR reviews. ### ✅ EMPLOYER BRANDING & LINKEDIN TALENT STRATEGY - LinkedIn company page optimization, JD redesign, talent attraction campaigns. - Offer acceptance rates improved by 15-25 points for my clients. ### ✅ RECRUITMENT AUTOMATION - ATS setup, AI-powered Boolean sourcing workflows, WhatsApp chatbot screening. - Also designed a 14-module, 365-day recruiter training academy adaptable for client teams. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## INDUSTRIES I KNOW AT DEPTH - Manufacturing | Pharmaceutical | Retail & FMCG | Hospitality | Logistics & Supply Chain | Real Estate - Expanding into: SaaS, Fintech, GCCs, Professional Services ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## WHY CLIENTS KEEP ME AROUND • I implement, I don’t slide-deck. You get playbooks, hired candidates, and completed policies — not PowerPoints. • I bring compliance depth most Upwork HR freelancers can’t touch — POSH across 5 international jurisdictions plus India. • I work in your time zone. Comfortable with async, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, ATS platforms. • Boutique firm, senior consultant. When you hire me, you get me not a delegated intern. • Founder-friendly pricing tiers for early-stage; enterprise engagement models for scaled teams. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## 📖 THE BOOK Author of "The Invisible Anchor: Why Growth Without Structure Is Chaos in Disguise" — a founder’s guide to building HR infrastructure that scales with the business rather than fighting it. Sample chapters available in my portfolio below. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ## LET’S TALK Every project starts with a free 20-minute discovery call. Send me a message with: 1. What’s breaking (or what you’re building) 2. Team size and stage 3. A rough timeline I’ll come back within 4 hours with a scoped approach. 📩 Message me with "POSH" and I’ll send my International POSH capability deck. 📩 Message me with "AUDIT" and I’ll send my HR Audit sample scorecard.
