Cognasia Talent

Cognasia Talent Pte Ltd is an executive search firm founded in 2014 in Singapore, a company that calls Asia its home. It was founded by partners with deep industry expertise and professional search experience who have lived, worked and led businesses in several markets across the region, including Singapore, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia and India. All of its partners bring over 25 years of business experience across Asia, and the firm argues that the insights and perspectives gained in those operating roles are invaluable assets in appreciating and successfully navigating the region. It was founded with the mission of matching the right opportunities with career aspirations, which it says positively affects the quality of talent at its clients while enhancing individual careers.

The firm offers three services: Executive Search, Board and CEO Advisory, and Coaching and Leadership. It organises its practice around six industries: Analytics and Decision Science, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance, Consulting and Professional Services, Industrial and Manufacturing, Technology, and Consumer and Retail. Cognasia Talent states that it brings years of leadership experience in the very sectors and functions for which it provides its range of talent acquisition, assessment and advisory services, which is the basis on which it presents itself to clients hiring at executive, professional and leadership level.

Cognasia Talent is located in Singapore and serves clients across the Asia Pacific, India and Australia regions. It has successfully completed search mandates, both leadership and executive, across ten countries in the region, and currently counts several leading multinational and Asian brands among its clients. It describes itself as a preferred partner and value adding service provider, and says it is empanelled to provide talent search services by several leading global and Asian brands. Its case for clients is that a pan Asia understanding of talent lets it provide solutions that transcend borders in a global marketplace where companies compete for the best talent wherever it exists.
