IMSA Search Global Partners Expands to Singapore and Welcomes Joshua Yim as Singapore Managing Partner
IMSA Search Global Partners (IMSA Search) is pleased to announce its expansion into Singapore with the addition of Achieve Group as IMSA Singapore and Achieve CEO, Joshua Yim as IMSA Singapore Managing Partner.
Over Three Decades of Success
Founded in 1990, Achieve Group is a leading talent
acquisition firm having placed more than 40,000 people in positions across
industries in Singapore, the Asia-Pacific, and around the world. Achieve’s
services include: executive
search, search and selection, managed services, outplacement, and short-term
staff hiring. With 57 executive search professionals in
offices in Singapore and Malaysia, Achieve specializes in: Industry
(Manufacturing, Semiconductor, Construction), IT/Media/Communication, Financial
Services, Consumer Goods, Healthcare, as well as Oil & Gas, Energy, Marine,

IMSA Search Partnership Provides Stronger
Global Outreach
Building on their 31-year history as well as
strong presence in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific, CEO Joshua Yim and the team
at Achieve are excited to represent IMSA Search Global Partners and expand the firm’s
international coverage and capabilities. With more international search
assignments for clients, and a welcoming approach to collaboration with IMSA
Search offices around the world, the IMSA partnership will further amplify Achieve’s
community of talents and position IMSA Singapore for continued growth.
Digitalization
and Skills-Based Targeting
Achieve believes one of the keys to their success
is skills-based targeting on digital platforms, where consultants proactively reach
out to candidates to present jobs that match the candidates’ skills. Achieve
maintains a proprietary, cloud-based database of close to a half-million
candidates that is growing by 5-10% per year.
This is particularly valuable as
digitalization across industries continues to accelerate and talent with
specialized skills is in increasingly short supply. According to Joshua Yim,
“Companies willing to pay a premium to attract talent with the specific skills they
need are successfully building their talent pipelines, positioning themselves
for future growth and leadership.”
Proven Commitment
to Client Satisfaction
Achieve is extremely proud of their client
relationships. Every year they conduct a Customer Satisfaction Survey to better
understand key strengths and areas of opportunity. Consistently, 90%+ of
clients are willing to recommend them to others. In particular, clients cite
confidence in the firm to deliver results based on: their significant experience
and industry expertise, thorough understanding of position requirements, access
to top-notch candidates, and their outstanding responsiveness.
Achieve is regularly featured in the press, including outlets such as
Channel NewsAsia, The Straits Times, The Business Times, and Human Resources Magazine.
Over the years, they have been honored with numerous prestigious awards,
including HR Vendor of the Year, Enterprise 50 Award, and Asian Business Award.
Just this year, they were awarded the Singapore Prestige Brand Award 2020/21
(Heritage Brand).
Motivated
by Impacting Lives
When asked what his team enjoys most about
Executive Search, Joshua Yim says, “Shaping careers, impacting lives, one
person at a time – this is our mission and what we enjoy most. The fulfillment
that comes with being a part of our clients’ and candidates’ success is
immeasurable and memorable.”
He went on to add with enthusiasm, “Recently,
a woman approached me in a café asking if I remembered her. She shared that I
had changed her life! She recounted that I had placed her in a contract
accounting position at a multi-national corporation 20+ years ago. After her
contract ended, the client, impressed by her capabilities, retained her as a
permanent employee. She rose through the ranks and is currently holding a very high-ranking
financial comptroller position in a major multi-national corporation. That
encounter was an exhilarating and fulfilling experience and an example of why I
find my work so meaningful.”
According to IMSA Search President Monika
Ciesielska, Singapore represents significant growth opportunity for IMSA
Search. “We are thrilled to welcome IMSA Singapore as the most recent addition to
our firm. With offices in Singapore and Malaysia, Joshua Yim and his team bring
expertise, experience, an extensive network, and an approach that will enable
us to better serve our clients in this growing region and around the world.”
