What Our Clients Say About Us

BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES SPECIALISATION :

Sigma-Aldrich Pte Ltd – Asia Pacific Assignments

"Sigma-Aldrich has introduced a new Recruitment, Retention and Development (RR&D) strategy for 2008. RR&D is essential to sustaining the growth we are currently experiencing in Southeast Asia. ScienTec has been a critical resource allowing us to implement the RR&D strategy. We have recently been successful in expanding our regional support in Asia Pacific from our Singapore location by using ScienTec's recruitment services. ScienTec delivered a candidate that matched our quite demanding specifications and did so in a professional and timely manner. We have now retained ScienTec to continue to help Sigma add value to our Southeast Asia organization by recruiting for expansion of our Management Team. The repeat use of ScienTec to help Sigma achieve its RR&D goals is testimony to the excellent service they provide."

Codexis Inc - Singapore Assignments

"Singapore was a top-drawer destination for us to set up our R&D laboratory here in Asia so we can be closer to our large and growing base of customers in Asia. In particular, the government's commitment to Intellectual Property (IP) rights and building a culture of innovation were strong pull factors. We chose to partner with ScienTec because of the impressive list of international life sciences customer references, their understanding of our industry and the extensive experience in sourcing and recruiting regional life sciences positions at different levels. I have been very impressed with ScienTec's ability to shortlist the large number of highly qualified candidates within such a short time, a critical success factor for our partnership with the Singapore government and our establishment here. We have definitely made the right choice in selecting ScienTec as our recruitment agency,"

FlexSpine Pte Ltd - Singapore Assignments

ScienTec has proven invaluable in supplying qualified candidate to our organization. Within short notice, ScienTec was able to line up a number of high quality candidates for our interview, during our visits in Singapore. ScienTec has helped us to find and hire the most qualified local talent; they are knowledgeable, professional, and they deliver the type of responsiveness our business requires. I enjoyed working with their team of executives who are so committed to quality service and customer satisfaction.

Thomson Scientific, London - Asia Pacific Assignment

ScienTec Search are easily the best search firms I have worked with. I have employed marketing staff in the UK, US and Australia and in my experience the search firms in all these countries seem to work on a numbers game. You are flooded with resumes in the hope that one or two will be suitable. In contrast, every candidate supplied by ScienTec Search had potential - I wanted to interview them all! ScienTec Search even joined the interviews to develop an even better understanding of the kind of profile we were looking for. They are professional, efficient and great to work with. They will always be my first contact in the region and I wish there were ScienTec Search equivalents around the world

OpenCloud - APAC Assignment

"I got to know of ScienTec from their good work filling openings in the Asia region for my other company. In this period of aggressive growth in the region and high competition from other hiring companies, sourcing for the right candidate was indeed a challenge. ScienTec’s domain knowledge and experience in hunting for talent shortage area, close follow up and strong recruitment process management, were critical for the successful placement of our VP for Asia Pacific assignment entrusted to them. I am happy with their service, professionalism and commitment to success."

Celltick Technologies Ltd. Asia Pacific Assignment

Knowing what we want is one thing. Understanding our requirements was key for an effective search. Not only did ScienTec Search make extra efforts to fully understand our business and needs for the assignment, they executed with much precision and speed. ScienTec was able to nail down suitable candidates with great accuracy. We had in fact much difficulty in deciding who to hire in our final round of decision, as candidates presented to us were all very strong. ScienTec has been effective in getting thru our target areas covered, as well as providing recommendation for the assignments. ScienTec will be on our priority list when we look at our future recruitment needs.

Jane's Information Group - Singapore Assignment

ScienTec came highly recommended to us, and have lived up to expectations. Every aspect of the service has been excellent, from taking the brief through to the provision of references. What was particularly impressive was their speed of response to all our requests and demands - especially as we were several time zones away. After a successful placement (of our Regional Director, Asia Pacific), we engaged ScienTec on two further positions, and would recommend their services without hesitation.

Progeny International - Singapore Assignment

"I have used many search firms across the US over the years and I have not found in any of them the level of quality we experienced with ScienTec. They took the time to understand our requirements and business environment and were able to short list highly qualified candidates for our selection in less than 2 weeks. They will always be our preferred HR consulting partner"

Sparton Electronics, USA- Singapore Assignments

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in my search for an employee in Singapore. I am very impressed with your services and will gladly use them in the future as well as refer your agency to colleagues.

I've worked with many employment agencies in the United States and Canada and ScienTec Search outshines all of them. Normally when I have a job opening to fill and I work through a personnel agency, I have been given dozens of resumes to review. Of this stack of candidates, there might be one or two that are worth a call. It takes weeks or sometimes months to find the right person. It is not unusual to review 100 resumes to set up interviews for one or two people.

I made contact with your agency one week before my scheduled departure to Singapore. When you told me that you would have qualified candidates within five days, I was somewhat skeptical that I would be successful on this trip. To my pleasant surprise, you provided me with not one qualified candidate but five. The first resume I reviewed could have been the exact job duties as my position.

The candidates were pre-screened and were perfect for my job opening. Every part of the process was smooth and efficient. I've narrowed the choice of candidates down to two, and it's hard to make the final decision.

I wanted to drop this note to tell you how impressed I am with the professionalism and services that ScienTec Search has provided for me. I am a happy client and look forward to working with you again in the future.

MKS Instruments, Inc, USA - China, Hong Kong and Singapore Assignments

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for your assistance and support in our search and hiring of engineering personnel in Asia to support both our Singapore and China operations. The experience with ScienTec Search was fast, efficient, and overall gratifying.
I will gladly use your firm again for our future recruiting needs.

When I first heard of ScienTec Search, an executive and technical search firm in Singapore, I wasn't sure what to expect from a non-USA based service provider. I heard good things about the firm, but frankly I was cautiously optimistic. From my first interactions with the ScienTec Search team, I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and methods by which they conducted business. I found the ScienTec Search team to be customer focused, dynamic, creative, assertive, and agile in their search and find approaches and techniques, maximizing use of technology, resources, and their network in Asia to find the right candidates swiftly.

What impressed me the most, ScienTec Search has a planned process and templates, the staff is well prepared and become an integral part of the customer's hiring team to make the experience accurate, efficient, and overall satisfying. The recruiter takes the time up-front to get a good and thorough understanding of their customer's job specification, requirements and expectations and then present candidates that are both technically competent and culturally fit, while meeting budget requirements. In our case, the hiring team was in China and the USA, ScienTec Search coordinated the requests and collaborated with the cross sites to arrange the interviews and secure the hiring.

I would highly recommend ScienTec Search and their team for our next recruiting requirements or for any other referrals."
