A US based, global semiconductor company with its regional office base in Singapore had a critical position to fill recently for their Singapore office. They wanted to hire an Alliance Manager who has a proven track record in managing major alliances and at the same time, possesses a strong background understanding on Cisco and its products. The client expressed that they had earlier engaged 3 different search firms in Singapore to fill the position, and had loss valuable time in failing to get the right candidates earlier. They needed us to undertake the search and short-list 2 candidates for them within 48 hours .

Our Principle Consultant and internal research team went on a marathon 48 hours to pursue and short-list the qualified candidates for this client. She managed exactly that and we successfully closed the position with the client.

The client later related to us that they engage us as a new search firm as they felt comfortable with our search history and we assigned a Principal Consultant that is a veteran in the industry and they felt has strong networks and their industry understanding.

A US based international open source computer software company with their regional office based in Singapore had two (2) Business Manager positions to be filled recently. They need one of them to be based in Singapore for the Malaysia/Singapore market and another in Bangkok for Thailand market. Their requirements for the positions were generic, requiring the right individual to have the business acumen and relevant experience in the related market place. Their challenge was especially so for the Thailand position as they needed a strong and articulate individual to drive their business in the vibrant Thai economy.

During the discussion with the client in Singapore to understand their needs, our consultant realized and suggested that what they really needed was an individual who can have the experience in their business, strong respective countries coverage and is conversant in Thai . That way, they can compress their two positions to just one. The challenge is to identify such an individual with the desire background and acumen. Failing which, we will revert to a two positions strategy for different countries. The client fully agree.

It took our team 2 weeks to identify and shortlist the candidate. This individual is a Thailand nationality, who currently already work in Singapore and has the necessary OEM selling background in the region. They hired the individual immediately and based him in Singapore to cover the 3 countries business.
