When we introduce our consultants, we talk about their industry background rather than their years in recruiting — because talking "projects" with clients and candidates is always worth more than talking "CVs".
Founded KUTA in 2007 and has served energy, chemical and manufacturing clients ever since. Knows the recruitment decision chains of multinational organisations inside out; led the design and roll-out of the Contract delivery model for overseas projects and has long overseen the host-country service systems in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Previously worked in offshore engineering and the marine and shipbuilding sector. Focuses on technical and management roles across FPSO, offshore platforms, offshore engineering vessels and overseas EPC projects, serving major shipyards and international EPC clients on a long-term basis, with hands-on experience in Contract staffing and mobilisation.
With a refining and chemical engineering background, works deep in the refining, coal chemical, new materials and electronic chemicals sectors. Understands the talent needs of every stage from plant construction and start-up to production operations, serving multinational chemical groups and engineering companies.
Focuses on localised recruitment, Contract personnel management and employment compliance in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, coordinating end-to-end support across visa advice, insurance and payroll administration to ensure expatriates reach project sites on time and in full compliance.
Recruiting is essentially about judging fit, and judgement comes from understanding the industry. A recruiter who has never set foot on a shipyard floor or walked a plant unit cannot tell the difference between "FPSO conversion" and "commercial shipbuilding" experience — nor build credibility with candidates.
Most of KUTA's core consultants come from engineering, process or project management backgrounds and receive systematic training in search methodology. As a result, we speak the language of your roles fluently and can convey the value of a project to candidates accurately — which is what ultimately determines search hit rates and efficiency.
Even if no opportunity matches right now, professionals in the chemical, marine/offshore, oil & gas and industrial sectors are welcome to stay in touch — new roles will reach you first.
Whether it is a corporate requirement or personal career advice, reach the consultant team and get answers grounded in industry perspective.
