Build a career around people, judgement, and meaningful work.
Join Executive WorkPlace and help organisations appoint leaders, managers, engineers, and professionals who can make a lasting difference. We welcome experienced recruiters, industry specialists, researchers, and commercially minded professionals ready to learn executive search.
What a headhunter actually does.
Executive search combines research, commercial understanding, disciplined assessment, and trusted conversations. It is not simply forwarding résumés.
Understand the mandate
Learn the client’s business, stakeholders, operating context, culture, and the outcomes the appointment must deliver.
Map the talent market
Identify relevant organisations, functions, industries, and potential candidates beyond active jobseekers.
Approach and assess
Engage people professionally, test motivation and fit, and represent the opportunity with honesty.
Manage the relationship
Keep clients and candidates aligned through interviews, references, offers, resignation, and onboarding.
A profession built on trust, not transactions.
We value thoughtful work, personal accountability, long-term relationships, and the confidence to give candid advice.
Entrepreneurial ownership
Develop markets, relationships, and specialist knowledge while taking responsibility for your own search work.
Regional exposure
Work across Singapore, Malaysia, ASEAN, and wider Asia-Pacific markets on meaningful professional appointments.
Work with consequence
Help clients strengthen organisations and help candidates make carefully considered career decisions.
Qualities we value.
Executive search rewards people who are curious, resilient, organised, and genuinely interested in other people’s work and ambitions.
- Integrity and discretion when handling confidential business and career information.
- Curiosity about industries, organisations, leadership, and how businesses create value.
- Confidence to initiate thoughtful conversations with senior professionals.
- Research discipline, attention to detail, and persistence through difficult searches.
- Commercial judgement and willingness to communicate difficult truths respectfully.
- Relationship orientation rather than a short-term, volume-driven recruitment mindset.
Different backgrounds can succeed.
- Experienced recruiters: deepen your work through mandated, relationship-led search.
- Industry professionals: translate sector knowledge and networks into executive-search expertise.
- Researchers: develop into market-mapping, candidate-engagement, and assessment specialists.
- Commercial professionals: apply consultative selling and stakeholder skills to talent advisory.
- Early-career talent: begin with research and progress through increasing client and candidate responsibility.
