Job description

Position: Recruitment Intern - Executive Search & Talent Research

Interested in recruitment, people and business?

Join our Executive Search team and gain hands‑on experience supporting mid‑to‑senior level hiring across Singapore and the region.

You won't just be doing administrative work. You'll learn how recruiters research talent markets, identify candidates, engage professionals and support live hiring assignments.

What You'll Do

• Research companies, industries and talent pools for live search assignments.


• Use LinkedIn Recruiter and internal databases to identify potential candidates.


• Build candidate profiles and maintain accurate information in our CRM.


• Draft personalised outreach messages and support candidate follow‑ups.


• Conduct first‑round screening calls with candidates to understand their experience, career interests and suitability for the role.


• Work closely with our consultants to shortlist candidates and develop search strategies.


• Support market research and candidate mapping for specialised roles.

What You'll Learn

• How Executive Search and headhunting works.


• Talent sourcing and market mapping.


• Candidate engagement and relationship management.


• Recruitment sales and commercial thinking.


• How different industries, companies and functions are structured.


• Professional communication and research skills.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is curious, proactive and enjoys working with both people and information.

You should have:

• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with confidence speaking to new people.


• Proficiency in Mandarin is required, as the role involves conducting searches and communicating with Mandarin‑speaking candidates and regional stakeholders.


• Good research skills and attention to detail.


• A proactive attitude and willingness to take ownership.


• An interest in recruitment, HR, sales, consulting, business or research.

Previous experience in recruitment, HR, sales, business development, research or a client‑facing role is a plus, but not essential.

Candidates from all academic disciplines are welcome to apply.

Why Join Us?

Real Experience — Work on live search assignments rather than purely administrative tasks.

Learn from Consultants — Work closely with experienced Executive Search Consultants and receive hands‑on guidance.

Talk to Professionals — Gain exposure to candidates and professionals across different industries.

Build Transferable Skills — Develop research, communication, relationship management and commercial skills that will be useful across many career paths.

If you're curious about how recruiters find the right people for important roles — and want to develop real‑world business and people skills, we'd like to hear from you.
