About Us
We are a Singapore-headquartered executive search and one-stop HR solution firm with a strong footprint across APAC and North America, supporting high-growth technology companies, multinational corporations, and emerging ventures.
As part of our regional expansion, we are looking for an experienced Team Leader / Managing Consultant based in Singapore to lead and scale a recruitment desk covering a broad range of functions and industries — from commercial and corporate roles to specialist and technology-adjacent positions.
This is a leadership role for someone who combines strong billing capability, hands-on recruitment expertise, and a commercial leadership mindset — and who enjoys the variety and market coverage of a generalist, multi-specialization desk rather than a single narrow vertical.
Key Responsibilities
Team Leadership & Desk Management
- Lead, mentor, and manage a team of recruiters/sourcers to achieve team revenue and hiring targets
- Drive team productivity, delivery quality, and recruitment process excellence
- Build a disciplined, high-performance recruitment culture with strong accountability
- Support hiring, onboarding, and training of new recruiters
Business Development & Client Management
- Develop and grow strategic client relationships across Singapore, Malaysia, and the broader Southeast Asia market
- Identify new business opportunities across multiple industries and functions, and convert them into retained or contingent recruitment partnerships
- Act as a trusted talent advisor to clients across their full hiring needs — not limited to a single function
- Manage key accounts and ensure high client satisfaction and repeat business
Recruitment Delivery
- Personally handle senior or strategic mandates when required
- Drive end-to-end recruitment processes including sourcing, screening, stakeholder management, offer negotiation, and closing
- Build strong talent pipelines and maintain market intelligence across multiple functional areas
- Flexibly cover diverse mandates — e.g. sales & marketing, HR & corporate functions, operations, finance, and other commercial roles — across industries including technology
Commercial & P&L Ownership
- Operate the desk with a strong business and P&L mindset
- Monitor team performance metrics including revenue, placements, productivity, and profitability
- Contribute to regional growth strategy and operational improvements
Requirements
- Proven experience in an agency recruitment / executive search environment
- Prior experience leading a recruitment team or managing consultants
- Strong track record in business development and billings
- Experience recruiting across multiple functions or industries — versatility is valued over deep single-domain specialization
- Strong stakeholder management and client-facing communication skills
- Entrepreneurial mindset with strong ownership and commercial awareness
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced and target-driven environment
- Mandarin Chinese bilingual ability is highly preferred, as you will liaise with Chinese-speaking clients and candidates across the region
