Job description

Rekruyt is a recruitment and talent advisory firm based in Malaysia, focused on mid-senior and leadership hiring across Southeast Asia.

Founded by experienced recruiters with both in-house and agency backgrounds, we work closely with clients across industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, corporate finance, consumer goods and technology.

Our work often goes beyond traditional recruitment. We help clients solve real hiring challenges by understanding the market, advising on feasibility, and finding solutions for hard-to-fill roles. Every project is approached with precision, transparency, and a genuinely consultative mindset.

About the Role

We’re looking for individuals who are curious about people, business, and how organizations work to join us as a Researcher or Consultant.

This is an excellent entry point for those who want to pivot their career into a more strategic and consultative environment. No prior experience is required, what matters most is critical thinking, curiosity, and adaptability.

You’ll learn how to assess markets, manage client expectations, and design strategies to identify the right people when the obvious answers aren’t available.

What you'll be doing

As a Researcher

Map the market and identify potential talent pools for specific client requirements.

Research company structures, industry competitors, and candidate availability.

Support the team with insights on compensation, hiring trends, and key movements.

Prepare candidate briefs, project trackers, and presentation materials.

Work closely with consultants to shape sourcing strategies and outreach plans.

As a Consultant (upon readiness or experience)

Manage recruitment assignments end-to-end, from client briefing to candidate presentation.

Engage clients to understand their business challenges and hiring needs.

Develop creative and targeted search strategies for niche or high-impact positions.

Conduct interviews and provide consultative advice on market fit.

Build and maintain long‑term relationships with clients and candidates.

Who We’re Looking For

Ideal for career changers who want to build a people‑centric, consultative career.

Open to fresh graduates and individuals with zero experience.

Curious and analytical, interested in how industries function and roles connect.

Communicative, confident, and eager to learn how to engage with clients and candidates.

Self‑driven, resourceful, and able to think independently when problem‑solving.

Degree required. No particular preference in field of study.

Why Join Us

Structured growth pathway, start as a Researcher and progress into a Consultant role as you grow.

Develop skills in market analysis, business advisory, and stakeholder management.

High‑impact work, help solve real hiring challenges for reputable companies.

Supportive culture, coaching from experienced recruiters. Room for experimentation and new ideas.

A better kind of recruitment. No “meaningless KPIs”. Our approach is personal, thoughtful and relationship‑driven.

Commission and performance‑based incentives as responsibilities expand.

Opportunities to take on cross‑functional tasks (operations, systems, projects) based on interest.

If you’re new to recruitment, considering a career pivot, or have a unique background that doesn’t fit every criterion but believe you’d be a great addition to our team, we’d still love to hear from you. Please include a short note in your cover letter explaining your situation or motivation. We personally review every application and will give it thoughtful consideration.

Application Closing Date: 28 Dec 2025 at 11.59pm Malaysia time, though we may wrap it up earlier if the right person comes along.
