For employers

What industries does EPS recruit for?+

Technology, banking and financial services, manufacturing and E&E, supply chain, shared services, life sciences, consumer and professional services — across Malaysia, Singapore and Japanese multinationals.

How quickly do you respond to hiring enquiries?+

A consultant will be in touch within one business day. For confidential or executive search briefs we'll arrange a discovery call within 48 hours.

What's your engagement model?+

Retained for executive and confidential search; contingent for specialist permanent recruitment; on day-rate or contract-to-hire for interim. We'll recommend the right model on the discovery call.

Do you offer a replacement guarantee?+

Yes — standard replacement terms on permanent search, agreed in writing at engagement.

Can you handle contract and interim hires?+

Yes — alongside permanent search, we deliver contract and interim specialists for project, transformation and leadership cover.

For candidates

Do I have to pay to submit my CV?+

No. Candidates never pay EPS — we are paid by the employers we work with.

How confidential is my CV?+

Strictly confidential. We never send your CV to a client without your explicit consent for the specific opportunity.

What if I don't hear back?+

We try to respond to every CV. If a consultant doesn't reach out it usually means there isn't a current match in our active mandates — your details remain on file for future roles.

Will you give me honest feedback?+

Yes — including on salary expectations, CV positioning and interview performance. That's the value of working with a consultant.
