Local hiring notes
- Embedded and automotive software is a Pune strength — expect stronger supply than in other cities.
- Hybrid policies matter: commutes across Hinjewadi and Kharadi are long, and candidates ask about office days early.
- Counter-offers are common for senior engineers; we prepare candidates for them before the offer.

GCC hiring in Pune →Our screen
Skills we vet for full-stack developers
Full-stack is a broad label. We pin down the real stack and the product stage in your brief, then screen for engineers who have shipped features end to end.
| Skill | How we evidence it |
|---|---|
| Frontend (React / Next.js) | Component design, state and performance on a real feature |
| Backend (Node, Java, Go or Python) | API design, data modelling and error handling |
| Databases | Schema choices, indexing and a slow-query story |
| Testing and delivery | How they test, review and release |
| Product sense | A feature they shaped, not just built |

Motivation, notice period, CTC, must-have skills
2. Technical deep-dive · 60 min

Screening questions we ask
- “Walk us through a feature you owned from design to release.”
- “How did you debug a performance problem in the browser or the API?”
- “What would you change about the last codebase you worked in?”
- “How do you decide what to test?”
Questions
Can you hire for a specific stack such as MERN or Java + React?
Yes. Name the stack in your brief and mark which parts are must-haves; we evidence each on the dossier.
Do you hire frontend-only or backend-only engineers too?
Yes. Use the same brief form and choose the closest role title; the screen adapts.
Is Pune a good location for a new GCC?
For automotive, embedded, enterprise software and BFSI technology, yes: talent depth is strong and costs are typically lower than in Bengaluru. For large senior AI teams, consider a hybrid plan with remote hires.
