4th Phase Water Technologies (Jiva Water)
Executive Summary
Jiva Water was a newly launched startup entering a niche structured water category unfamiliar to the broader talent market. Candor functioned as an extended Head HR, building hiring strategy, employer positioning, and organizational structure from the ground up.
The Business Challenge
At the start of engagement, the organization had a three-member team with a target to scale to 25 employees. The market had limited awareness of the structured water segment, leading to candidate hesitation. There was no defined hiring process, job descriptions, interview structure, or employer brand positioning. The highest demand was within Social Media and Digital Marketing functions, where attracting high-quality talent was critical. The organization required speed, precision, and structured coordination to prevent project delays.
Strategic Approach
Candor established foundational HR architecture by creating role clarity, structured job descriptions, and a phased hiring roadmap. Twice-weekly strategy meetings with founders ensured alignment on growth direction and team culture. We crafted a compelling startup narrative centered around ownership, experimentation, and growth, repositioning opportunities beyond compensation. A structured candidate engagement journey was implemented to reduce offer dropouts and build confidence in the startup’s long-term vision.
