If you know a strong GTM, Growth, Commercial Finance, or Strategy leader ready for their next move or a hiring leader dealing with a search that isn’t working , send them our way. Candidate referrals that lead to a placement earn you up to S$500. Client referrals that lead to a successful mandate — we’ll make it worth your while.
We don’t circulate CVs widely or run high-volume pipelines. We work a limited number of hiring mandates, for companies serious about hiring, on roles that are clearly defined.
Many of the roles we work on involve confidential or targeted searches. Referrals are handled privately and shared only with companies where there is genuine alignment.
Some referrals lead to immediate conversations. Others may be relevant later. We stay in touch with strong profiles and reconnect when the right opportunity appears.
You can easily refer a candidate by clicking the “Refer Someone” button on our website, filling out the referral form, and submitting their details.
We ask for basic information — the candidate’s name, email, and a resume or LinkedIn profile. A quick note on why you’re referring them helps too, though it’s optional.
For candidate referrals that result in a successful placement, you receive up to S$500. For client referrals that lead to a closed mandate, the reward is discussed case by case. Either way — we do not forget who made the introduction.
Our talent team will review the candidate’s profile. If the candidate matches current opportunities, we will reach out to them directly for further discussions.
No follow-up is necessary, but you can reach out to us if you want updates on the candidate’s progress. We will notify both you and the candidate if any opportunities move forward.
There’s no limit to how many candidates you can refer, but we’ll only put forward the ones who genuinely match a live mandate.
Yes. If you’re a strong fit for a live mandate, submit your own profile the same way you’d refer anyone else.
Substance places GTM, Growth, Commercial Finance, and Strategy leaders — commercially critical roles across Asia Pacific and MEA that need targeted outreach, not open job advertising.
If the candidate isn’t a match for current roles, we’ll keep their information on file and reach out when a suitable opportunity becomes available.
Most GTM, Growth, Commercial Finance and Strategy searches fail before they start — the brief was never clear on what the hire needs to deliver. We fix that first, before a single name is approached.
Every candidate is assessed by a senior recruiter. Not scored by software. Not passed through a junior. If they don’t clear the bar, you won’t see them.
No handoffs. No mid-search account managers. One recruiter. Brief to offer. Direct accountability throughout.
