You have a role but no brief written
That's normal — most first conversations start there. Tell us the title and why the seat is open; we'll help shape the rest together.
Contact
Start a search, or just test the market first.
The first conversation is 30 minutes and free. You'll get a view of the talent pool for your role, a realistic compensation band and an honest timeline whether or not you appoint us.

Corporate should send the brief & Candidates should write to dushyant.arya@astcservices.com
What happens after you send this
A message goes straight to Dushyant, not a shared inbox or a junior associate screening it first. If you're briefing a role, we'll usually come back within one working day with an initial read on the market before we even discuss terms. If you're a candidate, your profile is held in confidence and you'll hear from us if and when a relevant mandate comes up — we don't send generic follow-ups just to keep a pipeline warm.

You're comparing search firms
Ask us the same questions you're asking everyone else. We'd rather you compare properly than appoint us by default.
You just want a market view
Some conversations never turn into a mandate, and that's fine. Knowing what a role would actually cost to fill is useful on its own.
FAQ
Before you write
Where is ASTC Services' office in Mumbai?
204/A Rustomjee Central Park, Andheri Kurla Road, Chakala, Mumbai 400093, Maharashtra, India — a short distance from Andheri station and the Western Express Highway.
How quickly do you respond to a hiring enquiry?
Within one working day. The first conversation is a 30-minute market discussion covering talent pools, compensation and timeline, at no cost and with no obligation.
I'm a candidate. How do I share my profile?
Email dushyant.arya@astcservices.com with your CV and a line on what you're looking for. We hold profiles confidentially and contact you only when there is a relevant mandate. We never share a CV with a client without your explicit permission.
Do you work with companies outside Mumbai?
Yes. Mumbai is our base, but mandates regularly cover Pune, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, and our London practice covers EMEA.
What should I include in a first email?
Two paragraphs is enough to start: the role title and reporting line, and why the seat is open — a resignation, a new function, a growth plan. We'll ask the rest of what we need in the first call rather than making you fill out a long brief upfront.
