We've been on your side of the table.

We built executive search at Uber - hiring 100+ leaders across APAC. We bring that same urgency, rigor, and operator mindset to every search.

We Know What's at Stake.

Before founding Conduit, our team spent years hiring inside Uber; placing over 100 leaders across Asia-Pacific as employees, not vendors. We felt the same gravity of decisions and weight of getting it wrong. That experience shapes everything about how we work with clients today.

  • We've partnered with high-growth, innovative global brands to build their leadership teams, successfully placing hundreds of leaders across key markets in Asia including: Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka.

    Our experience spans a range of functions, both corporate and tech, including:

    • C-Suite and General Management

    • Operations, Strategy & Planning

    • Sales, Marketing, Business Development

    • Policy & Government Affairs, Communications, Legal

    • Engineering, Customer Service, Advertising

    • Human Resources

    • Navigate Asia's Diverse Talent Markets: We provide in-depth understanding of local talent dynamics across Asia, empowering you to make informed hiring decisions and build successful teams.

    • Bridge Cultural Gaps: We ensure your global vision aligns seamlessly with local talent expectations, facilitating smooth integration and maximizing team effectiveness.

Japan Expertise,
Not Japan Enthusiasm

Most international search firms have someone who covers Japan. Our founders built their careers here. We understand the leadership profile that succeeds in this market, and we'll tell you honestly whether a candidate will land well and not just whether they interview well.

    • Honest Counsel: We deliver straightforward advice, empowering you to confront challenges and achieve your objectives, even when the news isn’t always easy to accept.

    • Compelling Communication: We help you articulate your brand's value proposition with clarity and impact, ensuring you stand out in a crowded market.

    • Actionable Intelligence, Data-Driven Decisions: We provide clear, concise reports on search progress, in-depth candidate assessments, and actionable market intelligence (competitor analysis, talent trends) to empower your decision-making.

    • Optimized Hiring Processes: We identify and eliminate friction in your hiring process, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and positive experience for both you and your candidates.

Rigor Without Theatre

Weekly updates. Honest shortlists. Detailed assessments. We won't pad a longlist to look busy, and we won't present a candidate we don't believe in. You'll always know where your search stands and what we recommend doing next.

    • Weekly Search Reporting: Stay up to date on actions taken in your search and plug into key insights/recommendations that deliver hiring efficiency.

    • Detailed Candidate Assessment Across Defined Competencies: We ensure every candidate meets your defined competencies through rigorous assessment. We strive to get you the right talent, every time.

    • A Tailored Approach to Leadership Search: We understand your unique needs and customize our search process to deliver exceptional leaders who fit your culture and drive your business forward.

Access That Takes Years to Build.

The leaders we approach for your search aren't in a database; they're in our network. People we've hired, placed, and worked alongside for years. At the C-suite level, that's often the difference between a good shortlist and an exceptional one.
