We Build Teams, You Build Companies
From leadership hires to full team build-outs, we deliver the builders behind your business.
Why TalentHub
Network of proven recruiters + AI platform, founder-led expertise
-
Co-founder Murray Clarke has led three tech-focused recruitment agencies – all of which achieved successful exits. A hands-on recruiting leader, he has delivered senior executive search across the Asia-Pacific region.
His experience includes helping VMware scale in Japan and across APAC, as well as building an agency business with onsite RPO operations covering both high-volume and specialist hiring.
-
With a partner network of Asia-Pacific’s top recruiters, TalentHub Partners covers every major market and every technology sector – consumer, enterprise, industrial, energy, and services – across all levels of hire your business needs.
Our partners bring the best of both worlds: external search firm expertise combined with in-house recruiting experience at leading companies such as Google, AWS, VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Dell.
-
It all starts with identifying and attracting great leaders, then continues with tracking and hiring high-performing contributors.
We deliver executive search when it’s mission-critical, specialist search when a standout performer is required, and embedded RPO – full or part-time – to meet high-volume needs.
We Do Three Things
Leadership Search
Find the Builders your business needs to scale. Our AI-enhanced, data-driven approach connects you with executives who drive strategic growth and create lasting value.
We focus on leaders who are true Builders – setting direction, attracting top talent, and transforming performance. With experience delivering senior searches across APAC, we combine traditional headhunting with our proprietary AI tools to assess fit against your success criteria and deliver shortlists that give your business a long-term edge.
Embedded RPO
Seamlessly integrate TalentHub into your hiring ecosystem for scalable, long-term results. Our embedded RPO model provides dedicated recruiters and intelligence that strengthen your internal team’s capabilities.
Unlike traditional RPO, our model is technology-led – powered by TalentHub’s proprietary AI platform. From referral mapping and generation to end-to-end recruitment delivery, we embed the tools and people that help your business hire better, faster, and smarter.
Specialist Search
Discover high-performing talent in your own backyard. We combine market insights and local networks across APAC and Japan to connect you with professionals who deliver impact from day one.
Our proprietary referral mapping tools help target proven performers and support the hire even when they don’t come via referral. And when needed, we deliver through traditional search and headhunting – ensuring every key role gets covered.

Led By Experience
Recruitment Leadership + CTO-Led Innovation.
TalentHub is built by people who know how to scale and sell in recruitment.
Murray Clarke – one of the few recruiters to have built and led a firm in Japan from inception to acquisition. Murray has led at three different tech-focused search firms — and all three achieved successful exits. Clients across APAC know him for his track record in executive search, RPO, and team build-outs.
Konstantin Ivanov – a full-stack SaaS CTO with deep experience in building recruitment technology platforms. He leads the product roadmap, ensuring recruiters have the AI tools to stay ahead.
Together, we’re combining decades of recruitment leadership with cutting-edge tech development to create something recruiters can’t achieve alone.
Experience That Informs Our Platform
The challenge of building effective teams isn’t new — and our leadership team has seen it from every angle. The case examples below illustrate the kind of business impact that the right leadership and talent decisions can make.
