Talent Acquisition Partner

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner / Recruiter to help us find, attract, and secure some of the best marketing talent across APAC and beyond for the leading brands in the world.

This is not a volume recruiter role. We need someone who knows how to go beyond keyword matching and surface the right talent through strong judgment, market knowledge, and a real understanding of what great looks like. You’ll partner closely with the business to understand needs properly, translate them into smart search strategies, and create a talent experience that reflects the quality and energy of our brand.

This role is ideal for someone who has built their foundations in a recruitment agency environment, but who also understands the value of working more closely with the business, ideally through some in-house recruiting experience as well.

About the Role

Search & Delivery

• Lead searches across APAC for marketing, programme, strategy, social, content, creative and other related talent profiles.
• Go beyond keyword searches to identify high-quality talent through market mapping, talent profiling, outreach, referrals, and strong recruiter instinct.
• Build a strong understanding of each brief, the real business need behind it, and the type of person who will succeed in the role and environment.
• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process from briefing through to shortlist, process management, offer support, and the various onboarding touchpoints.
• Keep quality high across every search, with a focus on relevance, calibre, and long-term fit rather than filling the seats – our MASHERS are known for being the best of the best.

Stakeholders & Relationships

• Partner closely with the Talent and Delivery Leads to understand clients' programme needs, capability gaps, and the context behind each hire.
• Challenge briefs constructively based on the market intel where needed, helping the business sharpen what it is really looking for.
• Spot the right talent through strong pattern recognition, market knowledge, and human judgment — not just by matching titles or keywords.
• Bring insight into talent pools, market conditions, hiring risks, and alternative approaches when needed.
• Build strong relationships with talent when building pipelines of the best of the best – the person not selected today may be the best fit for a role tomorrow.

Experience & Excellence

• Take pride in creating an excellent candidate experience from first touch through to final decision.
• Keep candidates warm, informed, respected, and well managed throughout the process.
• Ensure the recruitment process runs smoothly, professionally, and with a high level of care and follow-through.
• Help strengthen our hiring approach, bringing ideas on process, communication, pipeline management, and recruiter best practices.
• Represent the business and our culture well in the market, helping top talent feel the quality of the experience from the start.

About You

• You have 3–5 years of recruitment experience, focused on marketing, creative, digital, and commercial talent across the APAC region within a recruitment agency environment, and ideally some exposure to in-house recruiting as well.
• Experience recruiting across multiple APAC markets and understanding local nuances in talent pools.
• Experience with talent mapping, market research, and proactive pipeline building.
• Interest in employer brand, process improvement, and raising the standard of recruitment overall is important.
• You know how to find high-calibre talent through judgment, market knowledge, and smart search strategy — not just database filters and keyword matches.
• You understand the importance of talent experience and take real pride in how candidates move through the pipeline.
• You are thoughtful, proactive, and commercially aware, with the ability to understand what the business truly needs beyond the written brief.
• You have strong stakeholder management skills and are comfortable partnering with various teams, challenging where needed, and influencing decisions with confidence.
• You are organised, responsive, and detail-oriented, with a high bar for quality and follow-through.
• You care about finding the right people, not just filling roles.

Please note
Due to the high volume of applications, we unfortunately can’t get back to every one of you, and only successful applicants will be contacted. When you share your details with us, we consider this as consent for us to use your data during the application process. We may implement AI in various stages of the recruitment process, but human involvement will always remain as part of our hiring ethos. At the moment, MASH is not in a position to sponsor work visas, so you have to be eligible to legally work in the country where we’re hiring.
