FAQ

Your questions answered

How quickly will someone get back to me?

+

A partner or senior consultant responds personally, usually within one business day. Enquiries are never routed to an automated queue.

What information helps us respond faster?

+

The role or challenge, the sector and the geography are enough to start. If you have a brief, attach it and we will come back with a considered point of view.

Do you work outside India and the UAE?

+

Yes. We are based in Gurgaon and Dubai and work through partners in 45 countries across APAC, EMEA and the Americas. See our offices.

Is my enquiry confidential?

Athena is powered by TheHireHub.ai for sourcing and matching, with every shortlist assessed and defended by a partner. See how it works.
