The Complete Hiring Playbook for
Manufacturing
Businesses.
For manufacturing owners (turnover ₹5–25 Cr) tired of bad hires — a step-by-step system to source, interview & retain the right shop floor talent.
Six stages, from the empty chair to the Day 90 decision.
The playbook follows this order, and so does the free sample. Each stage hands you the document you need at that step.
Define the role
Problem first, then the Role Reality Document and what good looks like at 90 days.
Find candidates
The right sourcing channels for each of the three levels you hire at.
Screen CVs
Five signals to read past the marketing, and a 5-minute triage for a stack of CVs.
Interview
Questions, what to listen for, and red flags across 7 departments and 21 roles.
Decide
Score against weighted criteria, compare candidates, check references, break ties.
Onboard
A 90-day checklist with dates, owners and the early warning signals that matter.
The Impact of Structure.
Real metrics from real manufacturing floors. Over 1,750 business leaders have institutionalized these protocols.
The interview architecture really helped us stabilize. Attrition is down 40% already!
Finally have a system that the shop floor actually follows. Predictability is huge.
That CV reading protocol is a lifesaver. Saved me at least 20 hours this month.
Role clarity solved almost all our floor conflicts. Supervisors are leading now.
Scaled from 40 to 120 employees without the usual chaos. The playbook works.
₹3–5 lakhs. Here is where it actually goes.
Owners underestimate this because most of it never shows up as a single line in the books. It leaks out across four months as wages, fees, time and lost output.
| Wages paid to a hire who is not delivering4 months × ₹40,000 | ₹1,60,000 |
| Recruiting again — portals, agency fee, your timeone replacement cycle | ₹40,000 |
| Supervisor and trainer timeinduction, correction, re-training | ₹50,000 |
| Lost output, rework and rejectionsacross those 4 months | ₹75,000 |
| Total, one bad supervisor hire | ₹3,25,000 |
Worked on a ₹40,000/month supervisor and four months before you accept it is not working. Move either number and the total moves with it — which is why the honest range is ₹3–5 lakhs, not a single figure.
₹2,999
The complete playbook costs about 1% of one bad hire.
You do not have to avoid many bad hires for that to pay for itself. You have to avoid one — once.

Who this is for — and who it is not for.
It is a narrow tool, deliberately. If you are in the right column, please do not buy it.

Questions owners actually ask
Do I need HR experience to use this? add
No. It is written for owners who have never run a structured hiring process. Every stage hands you the actual document — the questions to ask, the scorecard to fill, the checklist to tick. You are not asked to design anything; you follow the order.
Does it work for a small plant? add
That is who it is built for — roughly ₹5–25 Cr turnover, hiring supervisors, section heads and department heads. If you run a 30-person unit and interview candidates yourself, this fits. If you have a full HR team, it will feel like overkill.
I only hire once or twice a year. Is it still useful? add
Arguably more useful. When you hire rarely you have no routine to fall back on, so each hire restarts from memory — and one bad hire costs ₹3–5 lakhs. The playbook is a file you keep; it waits until the next vacancy and your notes from last time are still in it.
Does the file work on my phone? add
Yes. It opens in any mobile browser and works offline once downloaded. Filling in the longer forms — the Role Reality Document, the scorecard — is more comfortable on a laptop, but reading question banks and ticking the 90-day tracker works fine on a phone.
What if it does not help? add
Email us within 7 days and we refund in full. You keep nothing to return — it is a file — so we simply ask you to delete your copy. There is also a free sample covering a full role, so you can judge most of this before paying anything.
