People-first search, powered by smarter tools.
HireSmart is a boutique executive search and consulting firm working with founders, boards, and CHROs across Southeast Asia. We started as a traditional search practice and built our own AI tooling to do the craft better — not to replace it.
Our story
Founded in Jakarta, HireSmart grew out of frustration with slow, opaque executive search. We rebuilt the workflow around transparency, candidate experience, and AI-assisted sourcing — and kept the human judgement that matters.
How we work
Every mandate is led by a senior partner. We commit to a structured search plan, weekly client updates, and a shortlist quality bar we'd stake our reputation on. For candidates, we promise a real conversation — never a black hole.
What we believe
Great hires compound. The right CFO, COO, or Head of Engineering changes a company's trajectory. We take that responsibility seriously, on both sides of the table.
