Times Group (Smarthire)

Up here in Noida, the office for Times Group (Smarthire) is where we spend the bulk of our week. It’s a typical Noida workspace, surrounded by other companies and plenty of places to grab a quick bite. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles in our setup. It’s just a bunch of desks, some fairly reliable computers, and a lot of lists. Hiring work means we are always looking through resumes and talking to people on the phone. It gets busy, especially in the middle of the month. The office has that lived-in feel, with piles of paper here and there and jackets hanging on the backs of chairs. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a sleek interior. Most of our work happens digitally anyway, so the physical space just needs to be functional. We have a small area where we eat lunch together, usually sharing whatever people brought from home. The commute into Noida can be a bit of a slog depending on where everyone lives, so we are pretty flexible about the clock. As long as the work gets finished, nobody is breathing down your neck. It’s a decent place to work with people who actually get along. We’ve been here long enough that the local security guards and delivery drivers all know us by name. It isn't a flashy life, but it works for us. We just focus on getting people into the right jobs.
