Overview
Founded in Singapore in 2013, Huddleston Jones is a leading specialist in banking, highly focussed recruitment and executive search services with operations and presence in Singapore, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates, servicing countries across Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Working with a smaller selection of clients has been the foundation to our success; this has allowed Huddleston Jones to deliver and provide unique and typically un-reachable candidates from mainstream institutions, opening our parameters and sourcing from wider hunting grounds versus the off-limit restrictions most international recruitment companies face.
Our practice is not based on market share, but responsibility and delivery to our clients, ultimately strengthening our position and relationship with key stakeholders whilst providing un-paralleled strategic partnership with both the hiring manager and HR business partners.
