With decades of experience in operating and recruiting top people, you’d expect us to be pretty good at recruiting for our own business. And you’d be right.
At Workwire, we focus on partnerships. That’s how we’re structured internally and also how we operate with our clients – we seek to create success all around us.
WHAT WE DO
We focus on powering your company, starting with your team.
We draw on our understanding of the industries we serve as operators and investors plus our knack for process creation to build solutions that provide organizations with true value.
Executive Search & Selection
We build and support boards and executive leaders across the Asia and Europe build the best teams they can to face impeding challenges or opportunities.
HR Outsourcing Services
We help organizations outsource key or all HR functions, to ensure compliance, cost optimisation and speed of execution.
Payroll, Accounting & Tax Services
We take over the hard part of human resources: the financial side. We help companies implement and execute payroll, maintain their accounting and file taxes across multiple jurisdictions – so they can be compliant and focus on the business.
Workwire acts like an advisor – they help our CEOs map their immediate and future needs (and sometimes even structure their org chart) and then get the right people on the bus. It’s a secret weapon.

When doing Executive & Talent Search we focus predominantly on Mid to Senior level Executives with a minimum compensation of USD 8,000 per month.
Under our HR Outsourcing model, we implement all types of recruitment, starting from junior positions all the way to the most senior levels.
What countries do you cover?
We operate across a multitude of markets. Our main focus is in Asia and Europe, but we can also cover projects in Northern America, Middle East and Africa.
Do you also place international candidates?
Yes. Our clients expect us to find the best possible talent and often that means we are looking across the World. We specialize in finding and attracting the best candidates for the job regardless of where they live.
How we work
Do you use personality tests?
Yes, but depends on who’s recruiting. Every partner is unique and has different requirements. We often use tests to assess the culture fit of a candidate with a given role, however some partners prefer to make such assessment themselves.
Do you participate in all interviews?
Usually no. Our role is to facilitate the recruitment process and – as partners, we trust our clients to handle candidates professionally.
Do you help with package negotiation?
We operate across a multitude of markets. Our main focus is in Asia and Europe, but we can also cover projects in Northern America, Middle East and Africa.
How much does it cost
How much does Workwire Executive Search cost?
We pride ourselves of being commercially flexible, adjusting our pricing to each each client’s unique requirements. In this regard, the cost may vary depending on factors such as the number of hires, the complexity of the positions, and any additional services you may require.
Our typical range varies from 18-22% of gross annual package, paid post probation. That said, we encourage you to contact us directly and discuss your goals first.
What is the payment structure like?
Our payment structure often involves an initial retainer and a second payment upon a successful hire.
The purpose of the retainer is to make sure that both parties are committed to the process, as the search process often consumes resources from us.
The exact amount of the retainer may vary based on the scope and duration of the engagement. Upon reaching an agreement, we will provide you with a detailed breakdown of the payment schedule, including the required upfront payment. This approach ensures a fair and transparent arrangement for both parties.
Are there discounts for multiple hires?
Yes. In fact, we often waive certain requirements (such as retainers) for long term partners / repeat clients.
If you are considering multiple hires, we offer competitive pricing packages and discounts based on the volume of positions you are looking to fill. Our team will work closely with you to provide cost-effective solutions while maintaining the highest quality standards in candidate selection and recruitment.
Do you provide a “probation guarantee”?
Yes, 100%. While we stand behind our candidate selection process, we understand there’s not always a clear match between a placed candidate and a position, company or culture.
In such cases, we do offer a “probation guarantee” peruiod, during which we will work with you to address any concerns and, if necessary, provide a replacement candidate at no additional cost.
The guarantee period and its specific terms are outlined in our service agreement, providing you with peach of mind throughout the recruiting process.
