About The Management Recruitment Group

Our Values Different By Design

MRG The Management Recruitment Group (MRG) was established in 2007, by a team of recruitment industry experts that had worked with some of the largest staffing businesses globally. Frustrated by typical recruitment norms; sales, KPIs etc they set about growing an organisation that would be fundamentally different as a place to work and as a supplier to work with. At MRG, we believe good recruitment is more like project management. We’re process led and behave much more like a project management firm. Ultimately, that focus on process and detail makes us better to work with, better to work for, and far more likely to complete assignments successfully at the first time of asking. MRG People Asia Established in 2019, MRG People Asia, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, is a solutions- led recruitment business operating across Asia and the Middle East. Working with both international clients and local organisations including contractors, developers, consultants and advisors through the full investment and asset management cycle, we find talent for some of the world’s most iconic development projects. Like our global counterparts, our success is driven by our uniquely experienced people, our in-house rigorous recruitment methods, and our meaningful sector knowledge. It’s a mix that’s fuelling rapid international expansion and a huge amount of repeat business.

Inventive Finding new ways to solve issues unique to every organisation. At the same time, it’s clear that we’re inventive. We’re constantly finding new solutions to stubborn problems. These are problems that others often can’t solve; problems that can’t be tackled with an off-the-shelf approach.

Forensic Known for spotting the details that others may have missed. We’re forensic in many ways, and for many reasons. Our briefings are exhaustive, our work is detail- obsessed and our mistakes are minimal. We know our processes and our sectors inside-out – and that’s largely why our placement success rate is unusually high

Inclusive Open, fair and diverse by design. Unlike many companies, we’re inclusive by design. Our competency-based process is built to remove bias.

Relentless Stopping at nothing to get the job done. Your uniqueness deserves more than an off-the- shelf approach. Being relentless is about never giving up. It’s about overcoming challenges. Ultimately, that means it’s driven by enthusiasm and energy – you can’t be relentless without being positive.
