Executive search is a critical part of the growth and success of a business. It is a known fact that people form the lifeblood of any organization and senior talent is an essential part of it especially when it comes to creating significant advantage. However, finding and securing experienced industry specialists is not always an easy process which is why executive search firms are brought in to enable best hiring outcomes. While a good hire can catapult a business’s growth, similarly a bad hire can magnify inefficiencies. The necessity of an executive search firm is apparent here.

Fulfilling those very needs is Singapore based TC Consulting which is a boutique executive search firm specialising in the financial services sector, with a deep focus on Alternative Investments, Investment Banks and Private Equity owned companies.

According to Tily Chu, Founder, “The growth of this industry, from the perspective of Singapore, has been extremely aggressive starting from Q4 of 2020. Last year was dramatically busy, especially since business volume from China was very slow. This is the reason why a lot of people have been moving their companies by setting up new branches in Singapore.
I can certainly say that the growth will be continuing till 2023. However, I am optimistic that China will soon change policy in terms of dealing with the pandemic and once that happens, some people will move back to Hong Kong because they have not completely shut shop there". Having established TC Consulting as a trusted source of information, Founder Tily Chu is continually reached out to for information on hiring or even the market and the industry scenarios.

Proactivity and Personal Attention
Tily further adds, “It is important for me to make time to understand the deals market and the industry and be proactive. For instance, If I know that certain clients have completed a deal, I would proactively show them people that I have in mind for them before they even know that they need that kind of person. We always try to think ahead and spend a lot of time to expand our network, even when we do not have anything for them at that particular moment. Staying proactive is something that we adhere to passionately. An advisor based out of Canada further helps in strategic planning and outreach to clients in North America.
