Powering innovation in Singapore

We’re based in the heart of Singapore, and we’re connected with the local community, with a local and international candidate pool built up 26 years. We recruit contract and permanent technology & change professionals on both a retained and contingency basis for a portfolio of global clients.

How we work

Your goals, our expertise

We work with our customers to understand their aspirations and to ensure we achieve them together.

Our exceptional track record in Singapore

In 2023, we solidified our position as the top contracts supplier for three major MAMAA/FAANG clients in Singapore, successfully filling all contract roles with two prominent technology clients. Additionally, we met the contract resource requirements of a significant tech client's cloud security team and staffed the entire technology team for a unicorn client within a 12-18 month period.

Nurturing talent, building relationships

Our candidate database reflects our 26 years of experience, carefully cultivated and nurtured over time. We specialise in attracting, advising, and building long-term relationships with top-tier talent. Our commitment to candidate experience is clear — our recent Net Promoter Score stands at 70%. Beyond placements, we offer ongoing support through regular Contractor Care webinars, creating a space for guidance, connection, and continued engagement.

Delivering quality

We have always prioritised quality in everything we do. On average, 1 in every 2 CVs we submit results in an interview, and 1 in 4 leads to a hire. Our 100% return business rate with core clients reflects the trust we've built and our commitment to delivering results. We’re also proud of our exceptional customer experience, demonstrated by an outstanding Net Promoter Score of 89% from clients over the past six months.

Our commitment to our team

We take pride in employing, training and nurturing the best consultants. 75% of our Singapore office joined Nicoll Curtin as a trainee consultant. This demonstrates the quality of training, support and career development that we believe makes us a valued recruitment partner.

True experts in our fields

We frequently offer expert opinions to respected industry publications such as the Financial Times and eFinancial Careers. Additionally, we produce and publish an annual salary guide and actively engage in discussions on LinkedIn. Our latest initiative is the creation of a Technology Salary Guide tailored to the Singapore market, providing valuable insights and guidance for candidates, hiring managers, and recruiters alike.
