What makes
us different
-
We live our practices
Being practitioners in our respective specialisation allows us to approach our clients’ and candidates’ objectives with a deeper understanding and empathy.
-
We’re privately owned
We don’t have a board of directors or investor demands to fulfill – only our reputation as a company and as individuals to uphold. That’s why we value authenticity, and quality over billings. We treat our clients’ business needs, as well as the continued career success of our candidates with the utmost reverence and care.
-
We’re personal
Our work is focused on human futures. That’s why we choose to come at it from a relationship-first perspective, fostering lasting relationships with our clients and candidates. Our goal is a shared one – making the perfect match – anywhere in the world.
-
We’re problem solvers
Filling a job brief is never the first order of business. We work with our clients for a full picture of their challenges and pains, and then search for the right candidates to fill the gap. People are not commodities, and we don’t want to place our candidates in roles that aren’t suitable for their current life stage, no matter how suitable their experience may be. That’s why we grow alongside our candidates as they progress through their career and life stages to have an intimate understanding of both their skills and lifestyle needs.
OUR SERVICES
-
Talent acquisition & attraction
We’re proactive, fulfilling briefs our clients give us, and briefs they haven’t even thought of yet. If we spot top-class candidates we know you need, you’ll hear about them. We work on both contingent and retain assignments.
-
Assembling high performance teams
Our team has over 100 collective years in the industry, and understand what it takes to be successful on both the agency and corporate sides. We use experience, coupled with behavioural interview techniques, to identify and match the missing pieces for your team.
-
Developing new revenue streams
Work with us to build internal creative departments/studio/design labs on the corporate side. We also cover E-Commerce, Performance Marketing, Innovation, Design Thinking, Shopper Marketing, Content Studios and Podcast capabilities.
-
Salary benchmarking
Each of us in the consulting team will, on average, interview between 800-1200 people in a year. Hence, we have anecdotal data on salaries that are paid.
-
Setting and follow-up on key performance indicators
We leave no stone unturned, working together with both clients and candidates to ensure that achievable KPIs are set before anyone starts work. We then regularly check in, making sure that our placements are on-track with the goals and aspirations of both the organisation, and the individual candidates.
-
Outplacement services
As times change, so does your organisation. When companies plan for right-sizing, or have to change course for a completely new direction all together, even cherished team members may no longer be required. We offer assistance with their transition via empathetic counselling and support, preparing them for their next job. We’re committed to helping them get ready for the next opportunity with improved personal branding, brushed-up interview and networking skills as well as polished resumes.
WHAT A HEADHUNTER DOES
Did you say phone calls, coffees and lunches? You’re not wrong, but you’d just be scratching the surface. There’s lots more that goes on behind the scenes before first contact is made with a candidate, or before the first recommendation is made to our clients.
We build relationships, often following candidates throughout their career, waiting for the perfect role to come along. There’s research, and keeping up-to-date on both industry and people, to be the best possible resource for both our clients and candidates.
OUR REACH
While our approach is personal, our reach is very global indeed. Whether you’re an organisation looking for a different perspective, or a candidate looking for a change of scenery – we will assist you.
Our Story
James Kenneth Koh first opened his doors for business in 2010. The doors to his walk-up apartment, Katong to be exact, where his dinner table served as an office desk shared by the original team of four – Jasmine, Linah, Rachel and James himself. Today, we’ve grown into a team of 9, with a brand spanking new office to call home at #05-03, 150 Cecil Street.
Every consulting member of the team began as practitioners within their practice areas, and while our youthful faces might say otherwise, we bring over a hundred collective years of experience to the table. As our diverse little team has grown, so has our focus. We’ve now expanded beyond roles in advertising, digital, media and branding to include creative, PR & communications, marketing as well as consulting roles.
James Kenneth Koh has successfully placed roles globally, on both the agency as well as client side. From social media managers in boutique agencies to regional digital marketing transformation leads with Fortune 500 marketing companies, there’s no role too small or too big.
