The Intakesense Difference

We only succeed
when you do.

Most Indian recruitment agencies invoice the moment you sign — whether the hire works out or not. We don't. Our performance model means we're compensated only after your hire completes 90 days, aligning every incentive to your outcome.

Two-year retention rate

89%

of Intakesense placements are still with the same employer after two years. India's industry average is 52%.

No upfront fees

Pay only after your hire completes 90 days. Zero financial risk to you.

90-day guarantee

If your hire leaves within 90 days, you don't pay a penny more. Zero risk.

Free replacement

If your hire leaves within 2 years, we fill the role again at no cost.

in 12 days.

Client voices

Don't take
our word for it.

Running multiple companies simultaneously means I need people I can trust from day one. Intakesense placed three senior professionals across our group companies — each one vetted not just for skills but for how they think. Two years in, all three are still driving results.

We'd tried two agencies before Intakesense. Both billed us immediately, sent generic profiles, and went silent. Archana's team actually understood what we were building. Our product lead was placed in 10 days — she's now heading a team of 9.

I was sceptical about the guarantee — every agency says something like that. But Intakesense actually meant it. When one hire didn't work out at 60 days, they replaced him within 9 days. No argument, no bill. That's when I became a believer.

The founder

Archana Sapra

Founder & CEO · Gurugram, Haryana

Archana built her career from the ground up in HR and talent acquisition, earning a degree in Human Resources from Punjab Technical University before spending nearly a decade on the inside — learning exactly where traditional recruitment fails both businesses and people.

What she kept seeing: agencies that sent CVs in bulk, billed upfront, and disappeared the moment a hire didn't stick. Companies losing months and lakhs, starting the whole cycle again. She founded Intakesense to fix that — with a process that goes beyond skillsets into culture, background, and aptitude. And a model where payment follows performance, not promises.

Based out of Gurugram, she leads a team that has placed over 1,200 professionals across India — every placement carrying the same guarantee she'd demand for herself.

“We don't just match skills to job descriptions. We find people who will grow with your organisation — because that's the only placement worth making.”

Archana Sapra, Founder & CEO
