Testimonials

​I would like to thank TENTEN for the professional and great advice offered to me during the placement in my new position. Their advice was invaluable and ultimately helped me to make the right decision. If I'm ever looking to change positions again I will definitely reach out.

TENTEN have been our go-to recruiter for the past few years. Not only because they deliver high-quality candidates but because we trust their opinion; negotiating flexibility with a candidate? They will tell you. Requirements unrealistic? They will tell you!

It is this additional advisory and honesty that sets them apart from the usual search companies. Rarely do you feel that fostering a relationship is a priority in recruitment but with TenTen you really do."

Luke and his team helped me realise a long term ambition of mine to migrate with my family from the UK to Asia - Singapore.  It took a little while for the ‘right’ role to present itself but throughout, Luke was privy to numerous opportunities demonstrating significant reach into the Singapore market.

His personable character was key to building confidence and his industry experience provided important steer at key times.

I would highly recommend the team at TENTEN partners to anyone considering taking the leap into Asia."

Working with TenTen is an experience I will forever cherish. TenTen is no ordinary headhunting firm, they differentiate themselves by providing personalised service, put the aspiration of the candidate first and are about building a lasting relationship with the candidate. TenTen put a lot of effort into getting to know me, what I do, what I enjoy, where I am with my career, and what I want to do. One thing I will not easily forget is the follow-up and catch-up after I started in my new role. Just shows TenTen's resolve in building a relationship."

TENTEN and I worked together in my recent career enhancement move and if I have to sum up the experience in one word, then it would be just fantastic! No flab, just precise communication and professional elan to handle senior experienced executives. A crisp and willing to walk the extra mile attitude make them a perfect ally. Thank you"

Luke and Esther at TenTen are the clear go-to organisation in Asia for anyone wanting to attract and recruit top technology talent into their organisation. They have an excellent grasp on the domain they work in and, unlike their competition, quickly revert with an excellent short list of high quality candidates.

I have known them both for over 10 years having worked with them both extensively whilst I was in Singapore. On a number of occasions, they were instrumental in helping me as I went about building high quality, high performing teams across Asia.

They build strong lasting relationships with clients and are well connected across the globe (at all levels). They operate in a very discreet and professional manner in everything they do.

I can't rate them highly enough."

I have worked with Luke over the past three years as both a hiring manager and a candidate. Throughout, Luke operates with integrity, gravitas and clearly cares about finding the right fit for everyone. When Luke has represented me as a candidate, the process feels like a partnership whereby his support, direction and advice have been invaluable to making decisions. I look forward to working with Luke again in the future"

I worked with Esther for the past 2 years and have closed several hard to close roles. Esther understood the local banking environment well. She is balanced in representing to both her candidates and to the clients.  Esther is mindful and respectful to the ways of workings in different companies and maintains her professionalism throughout in her engagement with HR. She also recognised that HR partnership is key and therefore constantly communicates with me. I highly recommend her services.”

Chris approached me whilst I was working in China regarding an exciting Fintech in Singapore. From the very beginning, Chris was very informative and made me feel comfortable. Through the relocation process he was always available and took time to ensure that both myself and my family were at ease. I would highly recommend TENTEN to any candidate looking for a new exciting job in technology." 

Luke is in my opinion by some way the best in his field in recruitment in Asia. Luke builds good contacts, gets good opportunities and delivers what he says he is going to deliver."

Grace supported my hiring for Greater China. It was always a pleasure working with her, she provided me great candidates, most of which I hired. I would not hesitate to work with Grace again as she was a valued partner to our business."

Luke is the most effective and efficient in his profession in Singapore. Our interactions have been very professional and positive.  Luke understands requirements and finds the right candidates quickly as opposed to sending large numbers of profiles across.  He has a special ability to identify hires at the VP & (Executive) Director level. I would recommend Luke at any time and it would be a pleasure to work together again in the future."

Grace was highly professional and had infectious enthusiasm as a talent acquisition specialist.  She always over-delivered what's expected of her and helped colleagues unconditionally for the success of her team.

I strongly recommend Eifion as a recruiter.  He helped place me in my current position.  Eifion is an effective recruiter for 3 reasons:

• He takes time to understand the skills and background of the candidate

• He has a good sense for the employment marketplace in Singapore and the region

• He understands the staffing needs of his clients, the hiring company.

 In my case, he helped make a good fit between my professional goals and a great opportunity with a leading global consulting firm.     He is smart, committed and professional and I would recommend him as a recruiter and as a consultant."

Luke found me the perfect role in Singapore to fit my experience.  He and his team worked diligently and professionally throughout negotiations and in support of the onboarding process.  I would unreservedly recommend TENTEN Partners to potential employers and employees."

Luke’s professional approach yet ‘personal’ was a great welcome from the many recruiters I have met and worked with in the past. He was able to see the bigger picture and helped position myself well for every step of my engagement." 

Esther placed me at DBS Bank as new Head of User Experience and Design for Consumer Banking Group in 2014. She is a trustworthy recruiter who focuses on the candidate’s interest. Her ability to provide insights about job-market, recommendations and ability to match candidate’s aspiration to the right companies makes her one of the best recruiters in town. As a hiring manager, I value her in-filtered opinion on the marketplace to help our design team plan for future hiring needs as well as retaining our talent."

I was introduced to Luke by a friend and it was an excellent introduction; he helped me find my next role. Luke is very engaging, trustworthy, and dependable. He has a wealth of experience in the Singapore recruiting landscape, so he has contacts in many of the right places to assist people at all levels. During the introduction meeting Luke took the time to understand my background, skills, drivers, and aspirations and only then connected me with the right opportunity. Luke is definitely a recruiter you want on your side."

My experience with Eifion was exceptional.  From initial contact until successful placement at Barclays Singapore.  He supported me throughout the process providing not only professional advice as well as much needed relocation suggestions.  Highly recommended."

Luke is one of the best-connected recruiters I’ve come across and helped me establish my own network when I arrived in Australia. He is personable, professional and a pleasure to work with - I would highly recommend him and his firm."

Esther has been recruiting for our technology team since 2011. She has the ability to represent our organisation and manage the candidate’s expectations well. Candidates are well managed and engaged in terms of expectations and culture fit. She also has the ability to represent our organisation objectively. Esther is credible and frank about the market and candidate situation. I would highly recommend her service.”

I have worked with Luke & his team, both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. In both cases, I find Luke to be very well balanced, understanding the parties he is working with. Furthermore, Luke has an exceptional people radar: beyond matching roles and skills, Luke connects people with matching energy. This leads to higher success rate in terms of recruitment as well as keeping the talent / staying in the role.  Will happily recommend Luke anytime."

Luke is an exceptional Talent Manager. He has a very wide network and is highly regarded in the Singapore Financial Services arena."

From the minute Tom contacted me he impressed me with his market knowledge and professionalism. Tom is a natural recruiter - he makes the whole process seem really simple and his consultative approach doesn't go unnoticed. I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking of making a career move to get in contact with Tom as he's truly an astute professional. Thank you for the guidance.

Eifion is a conscientious and involved business associate.  I was both his client and a customer to him at different times where is professionalism was very evident.  Eifion is very good with building relationships which is critical for his business of finding the right talent, especially at leadership level.  The operative word that describes Eifion is “involved” as mentioned earlier – he puts in a lot of effort to understand the client and their success factors for a role and likewise also understands the motivations, aspirations and abilities of candidates to ensure right synergies for high success rates.  I would recommend Eifion any day whether you’re on the lookout for an opportunity or you’re looking for very good candidates for your job vacancies."

Eifion represented me for my current role at Standard Chartered Bank after coming highly recommended by a friend of mine. Eifion had a strong appreciation of my capabilities and interest which enabled him to represent me strongly with the hiring managers. Exploring opportunities remotely is never easy, but Eifion made it an extremely smooth process which is a testament to his deep networks and credibility in the market."

Tom has an instinctive grasp of the nuances of his clients' resourcing requirements and has an uncanny knack of coming up with the goods when all others fail. I would recommend him without reservation."

Thomas is very effective and has great knowledge and experience in the recruitment process. He will be very valuable for both employers and job seekers."

I have been working with Luke for the past 6 months and I can honestly say that he has been the most proactive recruiter that I have worked with. He identified a number of senior potential positions for me and regularly updated me on the application process and next steps. I have just started a contract with BDO Bank in the Philippines and the only reason I got approached for this role was through Luke’s contacts. I very quickly developed a trusting relationship with Luke and I have referred a number of friends and colleagues who are looking for a new role to him. I would highly recommend Luke to anyone looking for a job in South East Asia."
