Executive Search Firm in Singapore for C-Suite & Senior Leaders
Wecruit’s executive search practice helps Singapore companies and regional offices appoint C-suite, director and senior management leaders. Senior hires shape a business for years, so we run every search confidentially and with a consultant who stays on it from brief to acceptance.
Most strong leaders are not actively looking. We reach them directly through our network and targeted market mapping, then assess them on leadership track record, sector experience and fit with your business before you meet them.
Leadership roles we search for include:
- Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
- Chief Financial Officer (CFO) / Financial Controller / Finance Director
- Chief Operating Officer (COO) / Operation Director
- Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) / HR Director
- Chief Technology Officer (CTO) / Head of IT
- Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) / Compliance Director
- Head of Legal
Our Executive Search Process
- Briefing. We meet the hiring stakeholders to define the mandate, the outcomes the leader must deliver, reporting lines, package and timeline.
- Market mapping. We identify target companies and individuals, including passive candidates who would not respond to a job advert.
- Confidential approach. We approach candidates discreetly, protecting both your confidentiality and theirs.
- Assessment and shortlist. We interview candidates in depth on leadership track record, results and motivation, and present a shortlist with our assessment of each.
- Interviews, referencing and offer. We coordinate interviews with your stakeholders, conduct reference checks and support offer negotiation through to acceptance.
When to Use Executive Search
- Replacing a leader confidentially, before the change is announced
