A strategic talent partner, not just a recruitment vendor
We build lasting value for clients and candidates through quality talent, industry expertise, integrity and speed of execution.
Led by an HR leader who has run the function, not just recruited for it
Gateway to the Boardrooms is led by Anurag Jain, a senior HR leader with more than 22 years of experience across IT services and international business environments. He has built HR functions from the ground up, owned leadership and critical-position hiring, and partnered with heads of department, country directors and international counterparts to align people strategy with business objectives.
His experience spans workforce planning and budgeting, performance and rewards frameworks, succession planning, HR digital transformation, statutory compliance and audits, and some of the hardest moments in HR: business splits, demergers, employee transitions and business closure. Since 2020 he has advised organisations independently on talent acquisition, HR operations, payroll and benefits, performance, learning and development, engagement and HR policy.
