"One reason why I left my auditing career to choose SearchAsia over other international search firms is because of its unique business model.

At SearchAsia, newcomers are treated as full fledged consultants when they come onboard. We are involved in the entire sales process, from prospecting for new clients, finding the right fit between the candidate and the client and right down to the closure of the deal. Because we are involved in the entire sales cycle, we are able to see the bigger picture and be in control of the situation. Before joining SearchAsia, I did my research on other search firms as well and realized that for bigger search firms, you need to start from being a researcher and rise through the ranks before you can become a consultant, which is not what I¡¦m looking out for. At SearchAsia, newcomers can be assured of a comprehensive training program in place to enable you to assimilate into the role easily, with a mentor to guide you along till you get into the swing of it.

Also, I'm glad to know that at SearchAsia, recognition is given based on meritocracy and not based on the number of years of experience, which is typical of other companies. Given the challenges of this job, the working environment is made more conducive with helpful colleagues and a supporting manager. We believe in working hard and playing hard as well. Team work is strongly emphasized too. I can see myself working in SearchAsia for the long time to come!"

"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!"

"The recruitment environment in the banking and finance industry in HK is very exciting and very fast moving.

To be competitive and succeed in this business we have to be really reactive, understand our client's needs right away and most importantly be very close to our candidates and care about them. This is how we make a difference and why we are successful.

In order to do this we need the right consultants to join our team, in other words our motto "The Right Fit" very much applies directly to us as well. When recruiting for our teams we emphasize on personalities rather than on experience and "relevant" background.

Our consultants come from different countries, cultures and fields. This is amazing to see how fast they learn, succeed and grow within our company. Our team is highly optimistic, enthusiastic, we never give-up, work fast, hard and we are passionate about people.

I'm not sure I could find a more challenging, exciting and rewarding job!"

"I never thought of becoming a Recruitment Consultant as I used to work as an in-house HR personnel.

However, when i closed my first deal, filling a job vacancy by matching both the client and candidate, a great satisfaction occured which was so encouraging and which motivated me to pursue the "people business".

SearchAsia offers a very pleasant working environment within several friendly, supportive and professional teams with strong team spirit.

We provide consultative service to both clients and candidates (rather than hard selling) to our clients and the successful applicant will then present with strong communication skills, be an active listener and be able to apply an intelligent approach to their job.

Joining SeachAsia , the Asia's premier provider of human resource and talent, is one of the wisest decisions that I have ever made."
