We were engaged to bridge a critical gap for a client with an established battery metals desk seeking to expand into the Chinese market. This required not only technical expertise, but access to high-performing brokers with deep, trusted Chinese relationships.

​

Leveraging our network, we identified the right candidates across Singapore and London with proven track records and strong connectivity into the Chinese market. We designed and executed a targeted hiring strategy, focused on securing individuals with the right experience, the right relationships, and the right ambition to drive the desk forward.

​

Our approach went beyond traditional recruitment. Over a six-month period, we conducted thorough due diligence, securing high-level references and validating commercial performance, relationship depth and revenue generation. In parallel, we developed a comprehensive, commercially aligned business plan to ensure each hire would integrate seamlessly and contribute to the client’s long term growth strategy.

​

The result was a carefully constructed team capable of unlocking access to the Chinese battery metals market, significantly strengthening the client’s global positioning within the product.

​

The project has proven highly successful, delivering immediate impact and establishing a strong foundation for continued expansion.

 

Throughout the process, we maintained close communication with both client and candidates, building strong relationships and ensuring a smooth, efficient experience for all parties involved.
