Build your market. Grow your client base. Be trusted to get on with it.

TENTEN Partners is a specialist executive search firm headquartered in Singapore, recruiting mid-to-senior and executive talent across Technology, Data & AI, Cyber Security, Project & Change, Product, Risk, Compliance and Finance.

Our clients include leading organisations across Financial Services, Insurance and Management Consulting, with opportunities to work across Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and the Philippines.

We're looking for experienced recruiters to join us at Principal Consultant or Associate Director level.

This is not a high-volume recruitment role. We want people who know their market, can build trusted relationships and are comfortable working independently.

You might be strongest at growing strategic accounts, winning new business, or a combination of both.

What you'll do

Own and develop a specialist market.
Build senior client and candidate relationships.
Grow existing accounts and identify new opportunities.
Deliver mid-to-senior and executive search assignments.
Provide market insight and trusted advice to clients.
Collaborate across TENTEN and regional markets.
Build your profile through networking, market insight and client engagement.
At AD level, contribute to practice growth, mentoring and strategy.

What we're looking for

Strong agency recruitment or executive search experience.
Expertise in one or more of our specialist markets.
Experience across Financial Services, Insurance, Consulting or related sectors.
Strong account management and/or business development capability.
Confidence engaging senior stakeholders.
Commercial judgement, independence and resilience.
High standards of professionalism, candidate care and integrity.
A collaborative mindset.

How we work

Recruitment at TENTEN is built around relationships, not simply activity.

We want our consultants to become trusted advisers to clients and candidates, understanding their markets deeply, giving honest advice, sharing knowledge and thinking beyond an individual placement.

We value people who are commercially ambitious but also understand that collaboration creates better outcomes.

Our consultants work independently, but they're not expected to work in isolation.

Some successful senior recruiters are natural new-business developers. Others are particularly strong at expanding complex client accounts and building long-term relationships. Both can create significant value at TENTEN.

This reflects our progression framework at PC and AD level, where we place real importance on market specialism, account management, client development, independence and strategic planning.

Why TENTEN

We offer the freedom of a smaller specialist firm, backed by established clients, strong regional relationships and modern recruitment tools.

You'll get:

High-performance commission with strong upside.
25 days annual leave, increasing by 1 day each year up to 30.
Comprehensive medical and dental insurance.
3 days paid study leave.
Flexible working arrangements.
Access to our WeWork offices in Singapore CBD.
LinkedIn Recruiter and modern CRM/ATS tools.
Established client relationships and senior mandates.
Clear progression to Director and leadership roles.
Regular recognition, team events and learning support.

Our culture is built around Collaboration, Honesty and Trusted Partnership.
