Local success

Bold briefs. Bigger impact.

Building Tanalink’s team and HR framework from the ground up

Tanalink has partnered with us exclusively since 2022 to support their growth with a complete talent management solution. We began by recruiting the company’s foundational team – successfully placing software development, data, engineering, sales, and operations specialists. As Tanalink scaled, our role evolved into a strategic HR partner, designing and delivering a 12-month employee lifecycle programme including on- and off-boarding and performance management frameworks. This holistic approach strengthened internal capability, improved the employee experience, and aligned people practices with Tanalink’s long-term business goals.

Bridging borders for National Australia Bank’s talent needs

National Australia Bank (NAB) partnered with us to address talent visibility and attraction challenges amidst a nationwide skills shortage. Our response was a dual-team solution: in addition to our Australia-based delivery team, we leveraged our APAC Centre of Excellence (COE), located in our Kuala Lumpur office. Our specialist COE team built high-quality pipelines and pre-qualified shortlists of APAC talent for NAB’s hard-to-fill roles. We reduced time-to-shortlist and increased fill rates by proactively sourcing talent across key business functions. We also provided market insight and talent pool reporting to NAB’s talent leadership team.
