Associate Consultant (Research & Engagement Pathway)

Arrangement: On-site, Permanent Vacancy

Be A Big Part of The Human Capital

At the core of every major technological leap—whether it is Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, Advanced Manufacturing, or Renewable Energy—is human capital. We are a specialized, founder-led search firm dedicated to finding the brilliant minds that power these critical industries.

We believe that talent discovery should never be transactional; it must be deeply human and highly strategic. That is why next to standard recruitment we are successfully building talent ecosystems for our clients—our innovative, immersive ecosystem service is designed to authentically nurture high-impact professionals on behalf of companies solving today's most complex global challenges.

As our new hire, you are joining at the genesis of the company. You will sit side-by-side with a highly experienced founder, collaborating daily to build a business from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a company's culture, methodologies, and growth story from day one.

What You Will Do

Your core focus is discovery and connection. You will act as the curiosity engine of the firm, identifying elite talent and understanding exactly how their unique capabilities can transform our clients' businesses.

Deep-Dive Market Mapping: Navigate complex, future-focused sectors to uncover where the top tier of engineering, commercial, and scientific talent is located.

Building our ecosystem service: Work together with management on our proprietary talent solutions, enriching data with meticulously researched, high-caliber professionals.

Authentic Engagement: Craft highly personalized, thoughtful outreach. You will initiate meaningful conversations, focusing on candidate experience and long-term relationship building.

Candidate Qualification: Conduct detailed, engaging interviews to uncover a professional's true motivations, technical depth, and career aspirations.

Strategic Advisory: Act as the "intel" center of the business, briefing management on market trends, competitor movements, and talent availability.

Who You Are

We care far more about your potential to drive the right outcomes, to adapt across industries, and your client-centric emotional intelligence, than your past experience.

The Ultimate Researcher: You are intensely curious. You love digging deep, connecting the dots, and finding valuable information that others may overlook.

A Builder's Mindset: You are excited by the blank canvas of a startup environment. You are adaptable, resilient, and ready to roll up your sleeves to build something exceptional.

High EQ & Relatability: You genuinely enjoy meeting new people, listening to their stories, and figuring out what makes them tick.

Articulate & Credible: You will be engaging with senior engineers, AI leaders, and commercial directors. You can hold your own in high-level conversations, client-facing writeups and articulate effectively.

Baseline Qualifications

While we hire for potential, drive, and emotional intelligence over rigid industry experience, the following foundational skills will ensure you can hit the ground running:

Strong Foundation: A degree or equivalent professional background that demonstrates rigorous analytical, research, or investigative skills. We welcome diverse backgrounds—whether that is in business, psychology, engineering, or the humanities.

Exceptional Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the proven ability to craft compelling outreach and produce professional, high-quality client-facing writeups.

Tech & Digital Fluency: Highly comfortable navigating digital platforms, databases, and modern software tools. A natural aptitude for learning new research methodologies and search techniques.

Organizational Rigor: The ability to manage complex data, balance multiple research projects simultaneously, and maintain meticulous attention to detail within a fast-paced, unstructured startup environment.

Our Commitment to Your Growth

We believe that investing in our human capital is the only way to succeed. We hold a dedicated, per-head training and development budget to ensure you are constantly learning, upskilling, and evolving. Because you are joining at the foundation of the firm, your career trajectory is entirely uncapped.

The Environment & Perks

Unrivaled Mentorship: Daily collaboration and training from an industry veteran who is deeply invested in your personal success.

Continuous Learning: A dedicated training budget to fund your professional development.

Impact & Autonomy: Your ideas will directly shape our culture, our business processes, and our go-to-market strategy.

Phone, Entertainment & Meal Allowance: To supercharge your network expansion as you grow the business.

Birthday & Confirmation Day Leave: In addition to annual leave, we take all the time we need, work-free, on days that matter.

Annual Performance Bonus: we have a culture that rewards outcomes and achievements.

The Right Fuel: We never run out of your favourite snacks or drinks to keep the ideas flowing in a welcoming, friendly workspace (for coffee drinkers, choose from a wide variety of Nespresso coffee flavors).

Your application will include the following questions:

• Which of the following statements best describes your right to work in Malaysia?
• What's your expected monthly basic salary?
