“Robert Walters is a true partner to candidates and hiring managers alike”

The process of moving into a new job can come with some unsettling discoveries. Job descriptions can sometimes be a far cry from the actual role, and the company’s culture may not line up with what’s on the glossy brochure. However, for Kittinat Sorapinya, stepping into his new job brought just one surprise: it was exactly as it had been presented to him during the hiring process facilitated by Robert Walters Thailand.

Kittinat was employed at a healthcare logistics company when Paradee Tiemdoungtawan, a Robert Walters Thailand consultant who specialises in recruitment for the healthcare sector, approached him about a senior role at one of Thailand’s top nutrition companies.

At first, he hesitated. He had only been with his company for a year, and it felt a little early to be considering a move. He also had many questions about how the opportunity could help him progress his career further. 

His reservations faded away as he learned more. “Paradee brought a light and sincere touch to the discussion, and I never felt pressured at any point. I got a very detailed picture of the role and the company’s culture and organisational structure. The more we spoke, the clearer it became that the opportunity aligned perfectly with my career aspirations. That gave me the confidence that I was making an informed decision.”

The insights combined to give Kittinat a crystal-clear picture of what to expect as he stepped into his new role as Managing Director. It also meant that he could jump straight to making strategic moves to drive the business forward, like sourcing talent for several open roles. Pleased with his experience as a candidate, Kittinat decided to entrust Robert Walters Thailand with the business’s hiring needs.

The profiles presented were full of promise, and they turned out to be a great fit for the business. “Robert Walters excels at making precise matches because the consultants are deeply knowledgeable about the industry they recruit for,” Kittinat notes. “Quantity aside, each profile came along with useful notes or recommendations. That made the hiring decisions much more straightforward.”

Today, even with many roles successfully filled, the conversations are going on. Kittinat and the Robert Walters Thailand team still keep in touch regularly to exchange market updates or hiring insights.

"Robert Walters is a true partner to candidates and hiring managers alike, and they are a team I am happy to place my full trust in," says Kittinat. "Securing a Managing Director-level position in such a big company at the age of over 50 is not an easy task, but Robert Walters provided invaluable assistance in securing the role."

"Moreover, their communication and availability ensure you're never in the dark or left without the information you need. With their professionalism and expertise, I know I can count on their team for all my recruitment needs," Kittinat adds.
