"Being a Search Consultant in SearchAsia Singapore opens up a new door for me.
As a young but highly motivated team, SearchAsia Singapore comprises of people from different academic backgrounds, and of different nationalities and cultural background. We work closely as a team, and healthy competitions are also encouraged within the organization.
The most attractive part of the job is that you can work with world leading companies as business partner by providing strategic recruitment advice and you also provide consultancy services to senior professionals for their career aspirations. The satisfaction is doubled when you successfully help the clients to get the "best fit" from your candidates.
Working as a Search Consultant gives me a greater sense of responsibility and self-confidence then before. I have also improved my interpersonal skills and industrial knowledge by working with various professionals.
Joining SearchAsia is the best decision I've made in my career, and it's definitely the place for individuals who love challenges and desire a successful career in a promising industry!"

"With an engineering background, I didn't really think of being in a people business until I met people from SearchAsia. The dynamic and fast paced working environment attracted me and I found SearchAsia a challenging place to work. I have learnt a lot since I join the team, not only the knowledge about the whole industry, but more importantly the soft skills that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
It is an exciting and extremely challenging career with SearchAsia as the newbie has the chance to handle both clients and candidates. As we are focusing on middle to senior management executive search, we are constantly talking to senior professionals and advising them about career choices. This part of the work is the most exciting for me. On the other hand, consultants in SearchAsia are also responsible for managing existing clients and developing new grounds concurrently. There are a lot of multi-tasking involved.
I believe that a career in SearchAsia is not for the faint hearted. However, if you have what it takes, and have passion for success, this is an ideal place for someone who want to have a career in people business."

"Being a Building graduate, it never crossed my mind that I would become an executive search consultant. As a fresh graduate back then, I was at a loss to what I should take up as my career. However, the opportunity for me to meet up and speak to many different people on a daily basis, many of whom are of senior management level, came across as something that was really challenging and exciting.
The team oriented environment in SearchAsia helped me to grow as an individual and you'll know that help is always around the corner and this is especially important to me as a search consultant job was something totally new and unknown to me. The consultants at SearchAsia are young and energetic and we worked hard and play hard, cheering for other¡¦s successes.
I must also say that this job challenges me to always be on toes and react to any situations that may arise. Matching the right job for the right candidate can bring much joy but it is definitely not an easy task as we have to constantly manage changing expectations. Each day is a new challenge and through this job, I've learnt to be a much more persistent person.
I remember going all red when I did my first calls to clients and candidates. But now I can safely say that through SearchAsia, I¡¦ve become a much more confident individual who is not jittery speaking to and facing experienced professionals.
SearchAsia has provided an excellent platform for us to stretch our potentials. I'm not sure if I'll get to learn and grow this much elsewhere!"
