Why This Hire Matters

Consulting companies need to deliver client outcomes across diverse industries while maintaining bench utilization. Test engineering is evolving from writing test cases to building test infrastructure — candidates who can create self-service testing frameworks are most valued. Chennai's talent market is more relationship-driven than Bangalore's — referrals and network-based hiring outperform cold outreach significantly a principal-level mis-hire can set an organization's technical direction back by years — the blast radius of a wrong decision at this level is enormous
