Specialist talent,
globally connected.

Oriental Recruitment connects high-performing AI, data, software, product, sales and marketing talent with ambitious organisations worldwide.

With offices in London and Shanghai and a sourcing reach across North America, Europe and China, we combine market insight with hands-on search to help fast-moving technology teams hire well.

We help global businesses build AI-ready teams and hire exceptional people who move products, platforms and markets forward. Every mandate is led by a partner — no handoffs to junior researchers, no black-box process.

The result is a search practice that behaves less like a vendor and more like an extension of your leadership team.

What we cover

Technology & AI

Applied AI, machine-learning research, data engineering, software architecture and product leadership for companies building the next generation of intelligent products.

Commercial & GTM

Enterprise sales, revenue leadership, marketing, brand and growth hires that help technical founders turn product advantage into market share.

Finance & Operations

CFOs, COOs, GCs, people leaders and operational executives who scale the back office as fast as the product grows.

Our Values

Precision over volume

We build a small, deliberate shortlist. Every candidate is briefed, referenced and matched to the outcome you are hiring for — not a keyword on a CV.

Human in the loop

AI helps us map markets faster. Judgement, empathy and long relationships still decide who joins your team.

Long-term partnership

We are measured by retention, promotion and repeat mandates — not vacancies filled. Most of our clients rehire within twelve months.
