Data Centre Search Specialist | Singapore

About the job

We’re partnering with a well-established global recruitment group with multiple global offices to find a Data Centre Search Specialist for their Singapore team. This firm’s Data Centre practice is one of the fastest-growing parts of the business right now: fees above market average, and a desk fed by strong inbound demand rather than a cold start. You’d be joining at a genuinely exciting point in this practice’s growth, reporting to an experienced desk lead who’s built the market from the ground up.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for someone who wants to build a genuine specialism in the Data Centre space. You don’t need to come from this world already, but you do need to want to own it.

This desk runs hot. Inbound demand is strong and the fees reflect it, but that only translates into results if you bring real structure and discipline to how you manage a pipeline. It’s a high-performing, high-output environment, and it suits people who work methodically (mapping candidates properly, tracking processes closely, and staying on top of every stage of a search) rather than people who prefer to freewheel on instinct alone.

You’ll be strong on candidate management from day one: building relationships, qualifying properly, and running a clean, professional process. Business development is part of the mix too, but if that muscle isn’t fully built yet, there’s real support and room to grow it: the desk is set up so you can upskill into BD rather than needing to arrive with it mastered.

You’ll work closely with the desk lead, learning the Data Centre market in depth while contributing to some of the firm’s highest-value mandates in Asia.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Manage a high volume of inbound candidate and client interest across the Data Centre market
• Build deep, structured candidate pipelines across technical, commercial, and leadership profiles
• Run rigorous, well-organised recruitment processes from first contact through to offer
• Qualify candidates thoroughly: technical fit, motivation, and career trajectory
• Develop and apply business development skills over time, supported by an experienced desk lead
• Build genuine market knowledge of the Data Centre and broader infrastructure space
• Partner with team members to prioritise and convert the strongest opportunities on the desk
• Keep every search moving: proactive follow-up with clients and candidates, nothing left to drift
• Deliver consistently high-quality shortlists that reflect the premium nature of this desk’s fees
• Build a reputation as a trusted specialist in one of the market’s highest-growth sectors

ABOUT YOU

You’ll probably recognise yourself in several of these:

• You’re highly structured; i.e., you like a system, a process, and a plan, not just a to-do list in your head
• You’re excellent at candidate management and genuinely enjoy the relationship side of recruitment
• You’re commercially curious, even if business development isn’t your strongest skill yet
• You thrive with a high volume of activity and don’t get overwhelmed when the desk is busy
• You’re coachable; i.e., you want to be upskilled, not just left to figure it out alone
• You take ownership of your pipeline and don’t let things slip through the cracks
• You’re motivated by the idea of becoming a genuine specialist in a high-fee, high-growth market

THIS ROLE COULD SUIT YOU IF…

• You’re an experienced recruiter from a different industry or sector who wants to pivot into Data Centres and is drawn to the growth and fee potential
• You’re strong on delivery and candidate management already, and want a structured environment to build your BD skills
• You want access to a desk with strong inbound flow rather than having to build demand from scratch
• You’re looking for a specialist track within a well-established global firm rather than a generalist 360 role

WHAT’S ON OFFER

• High-inbound desk with strong, consistent deal flow
• Large fees reflecting the premium, high-growth nature of the Data Centre market
• Monthly commission structure
• Direct support and mentorship to build BD capability if it’s not there yet
• A high-performing, high-output team environment for people who like structure and discipline
• Genuine opportunity to become a recognised specialist in one of the fastest-growing sectors in recruitment
• Fair base salary and monthly commissions

GET IN TOUCH

If you’re structured in how you work, strong with candidates, and excited by the idea of specialising in one of the highest-growth, highest-fee markets in recruitment, we’d love to hear from you.
