Why Ten Working Fingers
"We don't fill positions. We connect people to purpose."
Preeti ChauhanFounder · Ten Working Fingers · Mumbai
Most hiring is transactional. A résumé goes in, a candidate comes out. At TWF, we believe hiring is deeply human — every role change is a life decision, not just a career move. We take the time to understand the person behind the profile, the culture behind the company, and the ambition behind the ask.
🤝
Relationships over transactions
Every client and candidate we work with becomes part of our extended network. We remember people, check in, and care what happens long after placement.
🧠
The human behind the role
Great hiring is about alignment — values, work style, ambition and culture. We look well beyond the résumé, always.
🎯
Discreet. Strategic. Selective.
We work on carefully chosen mandates — quality over volume. Every engagement receives Preeti's personal attention and expertise.
🌱
When all work together, everyone wins
The belief TWF was built on — collaborative ecosystems create unlimited opportunity. One purpose. All fingers moving together.
What We Do
Three practices. One unwavering standard.
Every engagement is personally led — built on relationships, never transactions.
🔍
Executive Search
CXO and senior leadership mandates handled with complete discretion. Network-first, relationship-led. We present 2–3 rigorously pre-vetted profiles — never a long list.
🏢

Our Story
People at the Heart of Everything
Ten Working Fingers — a name as unique as the belief behind it.
Who We Are
A boutique firm with a big belief.
Ten Working Fingers is a boutique recruitment and career advisory firm built on one founding belief — when all ten fingers work together with clear purpose, there is no limit to what anyone can achieve. Each finger plays a unique role, just as every individual contributes something irreplaceable to any organisation.
Our process looks beyond the résumé — personality, work ethic, cultural alignment and long-term potential. We understand our clients' values and vision before we begin. We believe recruitment's true essence is rooted in a profound connection with humanity.
While our primary focus is Non-IT hiring across 18+ sectors, we also provide full IT hiring support through a strategic partnership backed by over 30 years of combined IT hiring expertise — giving clients a single trusted partner across all hiring needs, technical and non-technical alike.
Our Founder
Founder & Visionary Ten Working Fingers
"Till the time you are alive — BE Alive." — Her father's last words to her
Preeti Chauhan hails from the industrious city of Kanpur. Her career spans over two decades across customer service, training, business development and operations management.
TWF was born from personal courage. In 2020, Preeti faced the sudden loss of her father — her unwavering source of strength. In their final conversation, his advice was simple: pursue your passion without hesitation. With the pandemic receding in 2021, Preeti turned that advice into action.
TWF began as a support system for flexible, dignified remote work — a team of women working on their own terms. It grew into a full-service advisory firm that never lost its founding belief: when all fingers work together with purpose, there is no limit to opportunity.
Preeti leads all business development at TWF personally — challenging herself constantly, embracing new technologies, and finding new ways to connect talent with the right opportunity. The trust her clients place in her is the greatest testament to what TWF stands for.
Ten Working Fingers maintains deep, relationship-driven connections built over years — not directories, but genuine professional ecosystems across key geographies.

"Sometimes people do not need advice. They need a safe space to think out loud, reflect, and be heard without judgement."
Preeti Chauhan · Founder, Ten Working Fingers
Why I created The Listening Souls
Over the years, I have spoken with candidates searching for jobs, professionals navigating difficult workplaces, business owners carrying invisible pressures, and individuals trying to balance careers, finances, relationships, and life itself.
What I have learned is simple: sometimes people do not need advice. They need a safe space to think out loud, reflect, and be heard without judgement.
This led to the creation of The Listening Souls.
