Maven Search

Maven Search Pte Ltd is a specialist search and selection company headquartered in Singapore that identifies and recruits senior talent in three defined markets. Its stated goal is to delight clients, add value and support them in achieving their objectives with as little disruption to the business as possible, acting as a partner both now and in the long term to clients and candidates alike. For employers, the company frames this as seeing the right talent before it is even needed; for candidates, as getting in front of key decision makers and being presented with career-making opportunities. It holds Singapore employment agency licence number 21S0613.

The three specialisms are Strategy and Consulting, Oil Trading, and Marine and Offshore. In strategy and consulting the company works with technology start-ups, global multinationals and leading consultancies on the hires behind their growth ambitions. In oil trading it recruits for financial institutions, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms and oil companies, matching people to the roles they are best suited to. In marine and offshore it covers both technical and commercial roles across marine technology, marine original equipment manufacturers, shipping and related services. Each division is led by a named consultant: Scott Tunnell heads strategy and consulting, Andrew Pearce heads oil trading as a 24 year veteran of that sector, and Nora Casanueva heads marine and offshore, focusing on mid to senior positions across the maritime and oil and gas sectors.

Maven Search operates from 541 Orchard Road in Singapore and works across the region, with clients that include multinationals, technology companies and start-ups, consultancies, financial institutions and specialist businesses in each of its verticals. It offers two service models. Retained search is an end-to-end white glove service intended for information sensitive assignments, including C-suite and other strategic roles. Permanent search suits one-off assignments to fill full-time roles as they arise. The company handles everything from individual hires to entire teams, covering replacement hires, growth and change, building new teams and setting up offices in new markets, and it says its consultative approach has built long-term partnerships over the past 15 years.
