Capital Search

Capital Search is a specialist recruitment firm headquartered in Singapore, dedicated to serving the banking and financial services sector across the Asia Pacific region. It was established in 2009 by two former investment bankers and was born out of a combined 25 years of direct finance experience together with over 30 years of expertise in financial search. The company states that this blend of backgrounds has enabled it to complete hundreds of search assignments for clients over the years, and it sums up its position in the line that to execute great vision you need great people.

The company works exclusively in banking and financial services, and its published insights show the ground it covers: private equity hiring for portfolio companies and the strategies that make it work, the effect of interest rates on hiring, and why 2025 looked like a good year for financial services in Singapore. It has also written about the surge in job applications, arguing that the saturation of social media with fake and misleading information is now repeating itself in the jobhunting process, with significant negative effects for both employers and job seekers. Because its founders have first hand experience in the finance industry and have sat on the client's side of the desk, Capital Search claims a working understanding of client organisations, the key players in the industry and the factors that decide success.

Capital Search operates from 138 Market Street at CapitaGreen in Singapore, is registered under 201511083K and holds Employment Agency Licence 15S7821. It says it does not simply fill positions but takes the time to grasp the nuances of each organisation's culture, business objectives and industry dynamics, so that candidates align with the strategic vision of the business as well as the job description. Its network is used to source talent beyond those who are easily found or currently available, and it presents the ability to steer both employers and candidates to a mutually beneficial outcome as where it genuinely excels.
