About Prateek S.

Most hiring problems are not sourcing problems.They’re decision problems.I work with founders, HR leaders, and growing teams to help them make better hiring decisions, not just faster ones.Over the last 4 years, I’ve worked end-to-end on executive and critical hires — from market mapping and outreach to evaluation, alignment, and closure. Along the way, I’ve seen why roles fail after joining, why “culture fit” is often misunderstood, and why speed without clarity creates long-term hiring debt.My focus is simple:• Reduce hiring risk• Improve decision quality• Help teams avoid costly mis-hiresI openly share:– Hiring frameworks– Mistakes I’ve made– Patterns I’ve seen across searches– What most recruiters don’t talk about publiclyIf you’re building teams at scale, hiring leaders, or rethinking how you evaluate talent — you’ll probably find my content useful.You can connect with me on:• Email: s••••••••@outlook.com

Experience

1. Founder

   Strathire Advisors

   Jan 2026 — Present · Delhi, IN

   Co-founded Strathire Advisors, a retainer-based recruitment and executive search group, and currently leading its build and early execution phase. I drive business development and senior-level client conversations with startups, growth-stage organizations, and enterprises to secure leadership and critical hiring mandates. As a hands-on executive search consultant, I personally manage mandates end-to-end—designing search strategies, conducting market mapping, and creating targeted company lists to ensure precision sourcing. I lead active headhunting efforts, engaging high-caliber passive talent through LinkedIn, referrals, and trusted professional networks, while overseeing rigorous candidate screening, shortlisting, and client feedback cycles to ensure strong role and culture fit. I also coordinate interviews, manage offer rollouts, and support post-offer follow-ups to drive successful closures. In parallel, I am building scalable internal processes, pricing models, and retainer structures, while setting quality benchmarks and delivery standards and mentoring a focused team of consultants to deliver consistent, high-impact executive search outcomes.
