Our story
Built on relationships,
measured in retention.
Meridian Talent was founded on a simple belief: senior hiring is too consequential to be treated as a volume game. Every mandate is led by a partner, every finalist is met in person, every offer is negotiated with care on both sides.
Founder
A career built at the intersection of talent and business
Our founder began her career in in-house recruitment for a fast-growing regional technology group before moving into agency search, where she specialised in senior technology and engineering hiring across Malaysia.
Eighteen years later, she leads a small team that has quietly become one of the most trusted senior-hiring partners for founders, CHROs and boards across ASEAN — spanning technology, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and shared services.
Meridian Talent was born from a decade of listening to hiring managers say the same thing: "We want a partner, not a vendor."
