Recruitment & Headhunting Services
The right hire does more than fill a vacancy. They strengthen your culture, unlock growth and help turn strategy into results. Shelby Global connects ambitious organisations with exceptional leaders, specialists and high-performing professionals across Vietnam, India and APAC. Whether you need a business-critical executive, a hard-to-find specialist or the flexibility to assess talent in role, our recruitment and headhunting services bring clarity, speed and confidence to every decision.
A Strategic Partner for Your Most Important Hires
Hiring at senior and specialist level requires more than a job advertisement. It requires market insight, a compelling employer story and trusted access to people who may not be actively looking for a move. Shelby Global combines local market knowledge with regional reach, targeted talent mapping and a rigorous assessment process. We look beyond experience on paper to evaluate capability, motivation, leadership style and cultural alignment — so every shortlist is relevant, credible and built for long-term impact.
How We Help You Hire
Executive & CXO Search
Appoint leaders who can set direction, build confidence and deliver change. Our executive search service supports CEO, CFO, COO, country leadership and other C-suite appointments through a confidential, highly targeted process. We assess strategic judgement, leadership impact, stakeholder management and the ability to translate vision into measurable results.
Specialist & Senior-Level Headhunting
When the best person is not applying, we find them. Through market mapping, discreet outreach and direct engagement with qualified passive candidates, we identify high-performing managers, technical experts and niche professionals across IT and non-IT functions.
Permanent Recruitment
From role definition to offer acceptance, we manage the hiring journey with care and momentum. Our recruiters create a clear brief, source and screen candidates, coordinate interviews, support offer discussions and stay close through onboarding — freeing your team to focus on the business.
Contract-to-Hire
Build capability without sacrificing flexibility. Contract-to-Hire lets you engage skilled professionals for an initial period, giving both sides the opportunity to assess performance, technical capability and cultural fit before a long-term commitment. It is especially valuable for projects, rapid growth, urgent skill gaps and roles where practical performance matters.
Board Advisory & Leadership Search
Strengthen governance and prepare for the future. We help shareholders, founders and senior executives identify board capability gaps, define the leadership profile needed for growth and appoint independent directors, advisers and senior leaders with the insight to guide transformation.
The Advantage Behind a Better Hire
Reach Beyond Active Job Seekers
Access carefully mapped, high-potential professionals who are not visible on job boards but are open to the right opportunity.
Local Intelligence. Regional Perspective.
Make informed hiring decisions with practical insight into talent availability, market expectations and cultural dynamics across Vietnam, India, APAC, the Middle East and Africa.
Precision, Not Volume
Every search begins with a detailed understanding of the role, the business context and the success profile. We focus on a considered shortlist, not a flood of CVs.
A Discreet, Accountable Process
For sensitive hires, succession plans and leadership replacements, we work with complete confidentiality and keep stakeholders informed at every stage.
Talent for the Sectors Shaping Growth
We map the market — relevant talent pools, target organisations and market realities — and our experience spans more than 25 industry verticals. No matter the sector, our work starts with the same question: what kind of person will create lasting value here?
