A few weeks into an executive search for a leading OTA client, we found the local market exhausted, with competing hiring agency tapping the same candidate pool in Jakarta. Instead of repeating the process, we expanded our reach—mapping talent across Singapore’s fintech sector, Malaysia’s e-commerce market, and sourcing globally from Canada, Europe, and the UK.
Within one week, we delivered senior design leaders who matched the brief and brought fresh perspectives. According to AC Lion (2022), headhunting connects recruiters with high-caliber passive candidates not actively job hunting, giving companies access to talent they might otherwise miss.
This experience reflects our core philosophy: recruitment is about uncovering overlooked talent and building lasting leadership teams through our global reach and personalized approach, combining scale, expertise, and responsiveness.
Three years into building recruitment partnerships across Southeast Asia, a client said: “Tony, this isn’t just about filling positions—you’ve become part of our growth strategy.”
That’s the true value of a hiring agency partner—it’s a strategic alliance that elevates your recruitment process. Working with experts who understand your industry opens access to talent pools that traditional methods miss. While others focused narrowly on Jakarta, our regional network delivered results faster and smarter.
For candidates, this means being matched with roles that fit their aspirations and strengths, not just their CV. We help candidates build comprehensive profiles to improve job matching and increase chances for international placement.

Standard recruitment often falls short in Jakarta’s fast-paced market. Many agencies act as “CV vendors,” forwarding resumes without deep assessment, leaving clients to sift through unqualified candidates. According to Humaans (2023), proactive recruitment reduces time-to-fill and improves hire quality by building talent pipelines in advance.
At Luminare, we take a different approach:
For instance, when a client faced a tight timeline and limited local talent, we used our ASEAN network to quickly place two senior leaders. A dedicated recruiter supports clients and candidates at every step.
A true recruitment partner goes beyond a job description. We listen carefully to client and candidate needs, understanding technical requirements, cultural fit, and strategic goals. This enables targeted searches, presenting only candidates who truly match.
Throughout the recruitment process, we support and guide you from job brief to onboarding, acting as an extension of your team to make hiring seamless for employers and candidates alike.
In seven years across Indonesia and ASEAN, I’ve seen the difference between transactional recruiters and true partners. Successful agencies don’t just fill roles—they understand client challenges, deliver measurable ROI, and build processes that save time and improve retention. What sets us apart is our commitment to both clients and candidates—helping you find meaningful work that matches your ambitions and supporting you every step of the way.
We make it easy to apply for jobs through our streamlined platform and help you understand your professional worth to ensure you receive the value you deserve. For candidates, this means aligned opportunities; for businesses, leadership hires that truly stick.
At our recruitment agency, finding the right candidate goes beyond matching resumes to job titles. Our expert recruiters use a broad range of services and an extensive network to attract top talent across industries. We present candidates who meet technical requirements and fit your company culture.
Our efficient recruitment process ensures quality while handling many candidates and roles. Whether you need permanent hires or quick placements, we provide access to the best talent, helping employers find the perfect fit. According to HeroHunt (2023), proactive recruitment taps into passive talent early, with 70% of the global workforce open to new opportunities.
