Innhance is building AI-native WhatsApp booking infrastructure for Indian boutique hotels. The founding team should be building product, not writing JDs, screening resumes, and chasing candidates. HireVed handles the entire hiring engine.
Innhance is a ~1-month-old, pre-seed startup taking on a genuinely hard problem: displacing OTA commission leakage for Indian boutique hotels through WhatsApp-native AI booking. The founding team is moving fast. That's exactly the wrong time to let hiring become a bottleneck.
HireVed has done a full diagnostic of Innhance's product positioning, competitive landscape, and hiring priorities. The roles we'll recruit for are sequenced by business impact — not by what's easiest to fill. Every search is grounded in where Innhance actually needs to win: India-specific hotel-tech integrations, Hindi/Indic language quality, and field sales velocity into boutique owner-operators.
Choose the structure that fits where Innhance is today. Both plans include the same sourcing depth, network access, and hiring rigour. The difference is in how and when you pay.
Pay the onboarding fee to begin — then a placement fee only on each closed hire. Roles are worked exclusively by HireVed from day one. Best for founders who want a committed search partner with skin in the game on both sides.
No onboarding fee. Pay only when a candidate joins. Suitable if Innhance prefers to preserve cash in the near term — but searches run alongside other active mandates and timelines are longer.
Regardless of plan, the sourcing rigour, candidate quality, and process discipline are identical. HireVed manages the full recruitment lifecycle end-to-end.
Sequenced by business impact. These are the roles without which Innhance cannot build its moat, ship its product, or close its first 10 paying hotels.
Innhance's only public job ad is for a Marketing Intern. That's the wrong starting point for a product that is fundamentally about engineering and trust. HireVed will work with the founding team to resequence priorities and ensure the first five hires build the moat — not the brand story for a product that isn't live yet.
Both plans access the same talent network and hiring rigour. Here's exactly how they differ.
| Feature | Plan A — Engaged | Plan B — Success-Only |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront commitment | ₹50,000 onboarding fee | None |
| Placement fee | 5.99% of first-year CTC | 7.99% of first-year CTC |
| When placement is billed | On candidate joining | On candidate joining |
| Dedicated sourcing lead | ✓ From Day 1 | — Shared capacity |
| Roles worked simultaneously | ✓ All open roles in parallel | — Sequential, as capacity allows |
| Pipeline reporting cadence | Weekly scorecards + dashboard | Bi-weekly updates |
| 90-day replacement guarantee | ✓ Included | — Not included |
| Sourcing depth | Full network + warm outreach | Full network + warm outreach |
| Founder advisory on hiring sequence | ✓ Proactive | On request |
| Typical time-to-first-shortlist | 5–8 working days | 10–15 working days |
| Total cost — 5 hires at ₹12L avg CTC | ₹4,09,400 | ₹4,79,400 |
At this stage, hiring an internal HR team sounds cheaper. The numbers tell a different story — especially once you factor in job board subscriptions, BGV costs, statutory compliance, and the founder hours lost to screening resumes.
Every hire HireVed makes for Innhance under Plan A is backed by a 90-day free replacement guarantee. No questions asked, no additional fees, no friction. We're not placing candidates and moving on — we're accountable for the outcome, not just the process.
On Plan A: HireVed activates the full engagement within 48 hours of the onboarding fee — sourcing leads are assigned, JDs are drafted, and the first shortlists are targeted within 5–8 working days. Let's build Innhance's founding team.
