Hiring finance candidates in India: what you're actually working with
Finance is the deepest non-engineering pool in India and the most credential-legible — CA intermediate, CFA Level I and MBA Finance all sort candidates for you. The differentiator at entry level is Excel modelling ability under time pressure, which almost never shows up on a résumé.

Candidate availability, honestly
We derive availability from real platform activity rather than a self-declared field. Active in the last 14 days reads as actively looking, within 45 days as open to offers, and beyond that as passive. Shortlists are weighted towards candidates who will actually reply to you.
