How We Work
Active Talent Network
Most of our best placements never apply to job boards. We tap an active network of IT professionals across software engineering, data and AI, cloud and DevOps, cybersecurity, and IT management built over years of specialist recruitment in Malaysia.
48-Hour Shortlist
Speed matters when the right candidate is in the market. We deliver a curated shortlist of qualified, screened candidates within 48 hours of receiving your brief — not weeks.
AI-Powered Candidate Sourcing
We go beyond job board postings. Our sourcing combines AI-driven LinkedIn candidate mining, automated job posting across multiple platforms including Foundit, and active headhunting from our existing talent network — reaching both active jobseekers and passive candidates who are not applying anywhere.
AI-Powered CV Screening
We use OPAL, an AI recruitment screening platform developed by Oxydata, to evaluate every CV against your role requirements before shortlisting. This systematically reduces poor-fit submissions and improves the quality of every candidate we present to you.

If a placed candidate leaves within 90 days for any reason, we find a replacement at no additional fee. We stand behind every placement we make.
