1. Editorial Principles

All content on HireDesk is guided by the following principles:

Accuracy

We aim to present HR practices, labour laws, and workplace concepts accurately and responsibly. Content is based on current understanding of Indian laws, established HR practices, and commonly accepted interpretations.

Clarity

Complex topics are explained in clear, accessible language. Our intent is to support understanding and application, not overwhelm readers with technical or legal jargon.

Practical Relevance

Content focuses on real-world HR application, reflecting how HR functions in Indian organisations across industries and sizes.

Neutrality

HireDesk maintains an independent editorial stance. We do not promote vendors, products, or consulting services within editorial content.
