Why hiring a Security Engineer in India is broken
Naukri / LinkedIn job posts attract 200+ resumes per role; vetting takes 6+ weeks of HR bandwidth
Tier-1 talent (Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune) demands ₹40 LPA+ — pricing startups out of the market
TDS @ 1% u/s 194J on every freelance invoice + Form 16A reconciliation = 2 hrs/month per contractor
GST 18% mandatory on consultancy services; non-IGST-registered freelancers trigger reverse charge complications
High attrition — average tech employee tenure is 18 months in Tier-1 cities (vs 36 months globally)
