Why do experienced recruiters choose to join us?
“The biggest difference for me especially when coming from a smaller organisation compared to SThree is our focus and commitment to STEM jobs. I’ve managed to achieve incredible success in a much more niche focus area instead of trying to gain market share in a more competitive space. Being surrounded by other consultants and mentors who have found success in their specialist markets has really built a great platform for me to do the same.”
Keith Tsuhako
“Working in a bigger organisation like SThree enables me to work with larger clients, partner with higher level candidates and have a large database in the market to work with which I previously didn't have access to. Additionally, SThree has different brands under it that gives me the opportunity to discover new opportunies and learn about market trends. And most importantly, there are always a lot of fun activities happening in the office which makes work a lot more enjoyable."
Annabel Xi Wei
“My experience working at SThree has always been rewarding. Our support team is always available and the internal resources provided are accessible whenever I need it. It really makes me feel that I am well-equipped to get the task done. This makes me look forward to gaining even greater success with our team."
Henry Yan
"SThree has provided a work environment that has given me new insights. The global environment established relationships where employees understand and respect each other's diversity which allows us to learn new insights about other cultures. There are also many office events which gives you the opportunity to know employees from other departments. Compared to many other organisations, there are fewer unnecessary meetings and consultations are always clear and concise. Furthermore, SThree offers incentives to reward your hard work which makes me feel appreciated. And lastly, the flexible working environment really allows me to balance my work and personal life a lot better."
Ayaka Tanaka
“Our internal database is stable and reliable, which is a big advantage over many other agencies. We also have our own internal training programme which is very thorough in teaching consultants across all levels on how to successfully do business. In addition, we have an employee dashboard that makes it easy for us to track our benefits. I chose SThree to further my career as we are committed to a growth mindset and are serious about taking a hold of the STEM market.”
