05022026 Gurugram, CROSSINGHURDLES:
- Should early-stage StartUps outsource all hiring beyond founders’ direct networks, or only specialized and leadership roles?
- How can domain-expert vetting be measured—conversion to offer, tenure, performance ratings, or something else?
- What is the right balance between speed-to-hire and depth of assessment in India’s hyper-competitive tech talent market?
- Could structured partners like Crossing Hurdles reduce unconscious bias and open more doors for diverse and women leadership talent?
- How might recruitment consultancies plug into #TechnologyTrends like AI screening without losing the human judgement founders value?
If talent is your biggest moat, why is hiring still an afterthought? Indian companies lose lakhs per bad hire, yet over half of recruiters still rely on basic keyword filtering instead of structured vetting. Crossing Hurdles flips that script with domain-expert hiring built for serious StartupStories.
Founded in 2019 by Sankalp Chhabra, Crossing Hurdles positions itself as a recruitment partner obsessed with one promise: helping organizations “find their top 1% talent.”
Instead of mass-forwarding resumes, the firm runs a four-step funnel—targeted sourcing, thorough screening, domain-expert vetting and top 1% delivery—designed to send only a handful of sharply matched candidates for each role.
Using premium databases like Naukri.com alongside its own networks, the team filters for skill, context and culture, not just buzzwords.
Over the past few quarters, Crossing Hurdles has worked with brands like Angel One, Ixigo, Turing, Cars24, Veera, ABP Network, Battery Smart, Zavya and Twin Engineers across tech, product, sales, support, growth, finance and marketing mandates.
For fast-growing StartUps, the pitch is simple: faster hiring, better talent and domain-expert review without inflating fixed HR costs. Underneath the tagline “Helping organizations hire better,” sits a product-manager mindset—unsurprising, given Chhabra’s background as Director of Product Management at Snapdeal and experience in consulting at Hewlett-Packard.
That mix of strategy and execution has helped Crossing Hurdles interview over 1,500 candidates and onboard more than 400 hires for 25+ clients recently, signaling process?driven scale rather than one?off heroics.
For Indian founders, Crossing Hurdles offers an appealing equation: outsource the hunt, keep control of the bar.
In an era of #Indianunicornsslowdownstartupvaluations and tighter rupee discipline, a partner that treats hiring like product-market-fit—not paperwork—could quietly become one of your most valuable #BusinessTips.
