Next, let’s meet Brian Kuo, a Senior Consultant for Glints Taiwan. He has been with Glints since May 2021. Prior to joining Glints, he worked at another recruitment company with solid training and commercial success on the job.

According to Brian, Glints is built on three business pillars which cannot be found elsewhere:

• ● has roots in Asia Pacific, especially Southeast Asia
• ● focuses on remote and cross-border recruitment
• ● ambition to build a comprehensive talent platform

These pillars eventually became one of the determining factors for him to join the company.

Brian also discovered a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity. In Glints, he is able to start a business unit from scratch and utilize his experiences in recruitment to help optimize Glints’ commercial practices.

Brian has helped Glints to expand its industry coverage.

He feels his journey with Glints has been very rewarding.

“The growth has been mutual. While I appreciate Glints for trusting me to take the lead on building a new vertical (industry coverage), I would also like to believe my contributions have set milestone achievements and accelerated future growth.” - Brian Kuo

Brian also believes that a well-operated and internally-competitive team is essential to aggressive growth.

To prove that point, he consistently shares his experience to his peers. He feels that experience-sharing is an opportunity for self-reflection on his best practices. He would then break down and reorganize his experience into practical, scalable approaches for others to adopt.

After converting from an intern to a full-time employee, Nanda was appointed as one of the initiators and was trusted to lead the implementation of full-scale automation for the markets in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
