An Asian family office was seeking a Chief Investment Officer (CIO) who would also serve as the CEO. Satisfied with our prior services, they exclusively entrusted us with this critical hire.

Thanks to our extensive and ever-growing network of pre-qualified talent, we were able to present five highly suitable candidates for the role. One standout candidate secured the position. Throughout the entire process, we worked closely with the hiring manager, ensuring complete confidentiality. The three-month process, from intake to placement, was seamless and efficient.

An Indonesian family office tasked us with exclusively recruiting a General Counsel and CFO for their Singapore expansion. We provided expert guidance on required skills, licensing with the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and office structuring. Through detailed consultations, we identified the need for a second CFO, who would also serve as a Country Director, to manage portfolio company P&L and provide strategic leadership.

We shortlisted six candidates for all three positions within two weeks, selecting two for each role based on their specific skillsets. The client efficiently conducted back-to-back interviews with all shortlisted candidates in person. Following a detailed debrief, second interviews were conducted in Indonesia to introduce the preferred candidates to the family and tour their portfolio companies. All three roles were successfully filled within one month.

A top-tier global private equity firm sought to recruit a high-calibre VP of Finance to assist the newly appointed CFO with building a robust finance team in Singapore. The need was urgent, and the selection process was expected to be rigorous due to the specific experience required in real estate private equity (REPE) and strong technical financial expertise.

Leveraging our deep understanding of the client's culture and requirements, we presented a shortlist of five candidates within two weeks, all possessing the requisite experience and skills. Working closely with the CFO, HR Business Partner, and Managing Director, the top candidates progressed through a comprehensive four-round interview process in both Singapore and overseas after which they extended an offer to their preferred candidate. From initial job intake to offer acceptance, the process spanned 1.5 months.

The client successfully built the client's entire Singapore finance department, impressing our placed candidate to the extent they became a client themselves. This led to a strong, ongoing partnership where we consistently fill on average eight permanent roles annually, including finance managers and fund accountants. Our relationship further expanded to include placing a CFO for one of their portfolio companies.
