From a Singapore base, re-search helps international manufacturers, dealers and design & build firms shape their hiring strategy and find the commercial leaders to deliver it, from country heads to regional VPs.

02
A mapped talent pool
Modern search tools combined with a network built over three decades, reaching the people who matter in the market, including those not actively looking, with right to work and visa considerations addressed from the outset.

About re-search
Recruitment from someone who has done the job.
Andy Willett founded re-search recruitment after 30 years in the workplace industry across Asia Pacific, a career that ran from developing office desking products to managing major office fitouts. Along the way he has sat on management teams building regional sales organisations, so he understands senior hiring from the client’s side of the table.
That background means clients often use re-search as a sounding board as well as a recruiter, because there are few approaches to hiring in this industry that haven’t been tried before.
“We don’t just fill roles. We set out to strengthen the industry, your business, and build careers.”
