Built around how you pay for it

Some teams want one predictable invoice. Others want costs that move with hiring volume or scope. We work either way, and we agree the model with you before we start.

Fixed billing

One number, every month

A flat monthly or project fee, agreed upfront. Useful when you want costs to stay steady regardless of hiring volume or workload that month.

Variable billing

Pay for what moves

Costs scale with what you use — roles closed, employees on payroll, or hours advised. Useful when your needs change month to month.

Questions, answered

What does Employee Era do?

We are a hiring consultancy and payroll management firm, and we also advise growing companies on workforce and cost strategy.

How is billing decided?

You can choose fixed billing for one predictable fee, or variable billing that scales with roles closed, employees on payroll or hours advised. We agree it with you before we start.

Hiring Consultancy

We find and screen candidates across levels, from first hires to specialist and leadership roles, so your team spends time interviewing — not sourcing.

Hiring is where most growing teams lose the most time — not because good people don't exist, but because sourcing and screening at scale takes bandwidth most teams don't have spare.

We take that part off your plate. You tell us the role, the team it sits in, and what good looks like. We handle sourcing, screening, and shortlisting, and stay involved through offer and closing.

Whether it's one specialist hire or a bulk hiring push for a new team, the process is the same: understand the role properly before we go looking for people to fill it.

How we work

  • Understand the role and team before sourcing
  • Screen for skills and cultural fit
  • Shortlist candidates ready to interview
  • Support through offer and closing

Who this is for

  • Companies hiring one specialist or leadership role
  • Teams running bulk or volume hiring for a new function
  • Businesses that don't have an in-house recruiter yet
  • Anyone who wants a shortlist, not a stack of resumes

Interested in this service?

Tell us the role and what you need — we'll come back with next steps and a billing option that fits.

Payroll Management

We run payroll processing, statutory compliance, and disbursement on your behalf, so pay day is never a scramble for your finance team.

Payroll looks simple from the outside and rarely is — between statutory compliance, changing headcount, and the occasional full-and-final settlement, it's easy for a small finance team to lose a day a month just to payroll admin.

We run the whole cycle for you: processing, payslips, statutory filings, and settlements, with direct coordination with whoever owns finance on your side.

Whether you're setting up payroll for the first time or moving an existing process to us, the goal is the same — payroll that runs quietly in the background, every month, without surprises.

What's covered

  • Monthly payroll processing and payslips
  • Statutory compliance — PF, ESI, TDS
  • Full and final settlements
  • Direct coordination with your finance team

Who this is for

  • Companies setting up payroll for the first time
  • Teams looking to outsource an existing payroll process
  • Businesses that only need compliance handled, not full processing
  • Anyone with employees exiting who need a clean settlement

Interested in this service?

Tell us your current headcount and setup — we'll come back with next steps and a billing option that fits.

Business Consultancy

For companies that need more than hiring and payroll, we advise on workforce structure, cost planning, and operational setup — billed the way that suits you.

Not every problem is a hiring problem or a payroll problem — sometimes it's a structure problem. Who reports to whom, what a role should actually cost, which process is quietly costing you time every week.

This is where our business consultancy comes in: workforce and org structure planning, cost and budget advisory, and process or compliance setup, worked through with you directly.

Because the scope varies company to company, this is the one service we explicitly offer on either a fixed or variable billing model — whichever matches how you'd rather plan for it.

Where we help

  • Workforce and org structure planning
  • Cost and budget advisory
  • Process and compliance setup
  • Fixed or variable billing, your choice

Who this is for

  • Growing companies rethinking their team structure
  • Founders who want a second opinion on workforce cost
  • Teams setting up a process or compliance function from scratch
  • Anyone who wants advisory without a long-term retainer

Home / How We Work

How we work

Not a black box. Here's what actually happens between your first message and the work being done.

STEP 01

Tell us what you need

A role to fill, payroll to run, or a structure question to work through — start with a call or a message, no form required.

STEP 02

We scope the engagement

We ask what we need to, understand the actual problem, and come back with a clear picture of what the work involves.

STEP 03

We agree the billing model

Fixed or variable — whichever suits the engagement — confirmed in writing before anything starts.

STEP 04

We get to work

Sourcing candidates, running payroll, or working through the consultancy brief — with regular updates, not radio silence.

STEP 05

You review and approve

Shortlists, payroll runs, or recommendations come to you for sign-off before anything is finalised.

STEP 06

We stay in the loop

Most engagements don't end at delivery — ongoing payroll, repeat hiring, or periodic advisory, run the same way each time.

Ready to start?

Most engagements begin with a short conversation, not a long form. Call, message, or send over your requirement.

Home / Billing Models

Billing models

Every engagement with us runs on one of two models. Here's exactly how each one works, so you can pick the one that fits.

Fixed billing

One number, every month

A flat monthly or project fee, agreed upfront before we start. It doesn't move when hiring volume or workload changes that month — the number you agreed is the number you pay.

  • Predictable cost, easy to budget against
  • Agreed upfront, confirmed in writing before work starts
  • Works well for ongoing payroll or retained consultancy
  • No surprise invoices when volume spikes
Variable billing

Pay for what moves

Costs scale with what you actually use that month — roles closed, employees on payroll, or hours advised. You pay less in a quiet month and more in a busy one.

  • Costs track your actual activity, not a flat estimate
  • Useful when hiring or workload is seasonal
  • Works well for one-off hiring pushes or project advisory
  • No fixed commitment when things slow down

Not sure which fits?

Most companies know within one conversation. Tell us roughly what you need and how steady or seasonal it is, and we'll recommend a model — no pressure to decide upfront.

Every hand this is built for

Not one audience wearing different hats — a few real, different businesses, each with different hiring and payroll needs.

Startups & growing teams

First hires, first payroll run, first org chart — support for the stage where most of this is still being figured out.

BPOs & contact centres

Volume hiring and payroll for teams where headcount and shift patterns change often.

MSMEs & retail businesses

The same operational thinking that runs a large team, scaled down to a small, hands-on business.

IT & services companies

Specialist and leadership hiring, plus payroll that keeps up with project-based teams.

D2C & e-commerce brands

Lean teams that need hiring and payroll handled without building an in-house HR function yet.

NBFCs & financial services

Structured hiring and compliance-aware payroll for a sector where both matter more than most.

Don't see your kind of business here?

These are the businesses we work with most, not the only ones we work with. Tell us what you run — we'll tell you honestly if we're a fit.

About Employee Era

A hiring consultancy and payroll management firm, built around one idea — every cycle should leave a business a little stronger than the last.

Aarti Negi, Founder of Employee Era
Founder

Aarti Negi

Aarti Negi founded Employee Era to give growing companies one dependable partner for hiring, payroll, and workforce consulting — instead of juggling a recruiter, a payroll vendor, and a consultant who don't talk to each other.

The name comes from the belief behind the work: every hiring cycle, every payroll run, every consulting engagement is a chance to leave a business a little stronger than it was before — not just to close out a task.

That's also why billing isn't one-size-fits-all here. A company's needs change month to month, and the way they pay for help should be able to change with it — fixed when they want predictability, variable when they want flexibility.

What this runs on

A few principles that shape how every engagement is run, not just what's delivered at the end of it.

Transparency

Billing agreed upfront, in writing, before work starts — fixed or variable, no surprise invoices either way.

Partnership

We work alongside your team, not at arm's length — regular updates, not radio silence between milestones.

Flexibility

Every engagement is billed the way that suits you, not the way that's easiest for us to invoice.
