How does hiring through Flyback work?
Tell us the role
A short brief, a call or a WhatsApp. The team, the problem, the level, the city.
Meet who fits
We introduce people from the network with a note on why. You decide who to talk to.
Pay when it works out
No retainer. A placement fee only when you hire someone we introduced.
The talent pool
A data set of talent nobody else in India has.
Every member came to us while planning a move home, and everyone we introduce has talked to us first. So you're not getting the same profiles every agency and job board is sending you.

Why returning talent
Why hire Indians who've worked abroad?
They know how global teams set the bar, and they know India. That combination is rare locally and expensive to relocate. And they've chosen India for the long term, not a two-year rotation.
- Worked inside global systems, processes and compliance
- Shipped to global users and managed global stakeholders
- Comfortable with a US call at 9pm and an India team at 9am
Building a global capability centre? Hire leaders who've run the work at headquarters. The hardest part of a GCC mandate is earning headquarters' trust. Returning leaders start with it.
Who can you hire through Flyback?
Mostly tech, with a strong bench beyond it.
AI, ML and data

Consulting, finance, pharma
Strategy and transformation, financial services, life sciences and compliance.
What hiring teams say.
We needed developers with US experience for our Bangalore team. Flyback took our brief on one call and came back with a ranked shortlist, with each person’s fit against our job description laid out clearly.
Flyback sent us five well-vetted profiles from Apple, Amazon and U.S. Bank in one email, each with a clear read on what the person wanted next. A much faster way to reach senior people moving back to India.
In their words, shared with their permission.
Questions from employers
Is Flyback a headhunter or a recruitment agency?
Closer to executive search, with one difference: our candidates come to us while planning their move home, so they're not on any other agency's list.
What does "vetted" mean?
Everyone we introduce has had a discovery call with us, and we've reviewed their experience against your role.
Are candidates still abroad?
About half are. We tell you each person's timing and location before you meet.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. A placement fee when a hire works out.
Easier on WhatsApp?
Send us the role there. Same goes for questions.
