Meet the Founder

Richard Tey

Founder & Managing Director

As the Founder & Managing Director of Hunt Talent Partners, I began my recruitment career in 2015, working with leading international and regional search firms.

Over the past decade, I have built a strong track record in placing:

• Sales & Marketing professionals across all levels
• Commercial and revenue-generating roles
• Corporate functions
• Senior leadership and P&L owners

These searches have spanned across B2B and B2C industries, including Healthcare & Life Sciences, Industrial & Manufacturing, Shipping & Logistics, Consumer, and Technology.

Experience

Experience Beyond Search Delivery

In addition to hands-on recruitment, I have:

• Led and mentored high-performing recruitment teams
• Built recruitment functions from the ground up
• Relaunched a recruitment brand in Singapore
• Taken full ownership of P&L, operations, and commercial strategy

This experience brings a commercial mindset to every search — understanding hiring decisions from both a client and leadership perspective.

Outside the Office

Outside of recruitment, I value time spent with family and maintains an active lifestyle.

As a fitness enthusiast, I regularly compete in HYROX events and marathons, and strongly believe in the connection between physical performance, mental resilience, and professional consistency.

This mindset translates into recruitment — staying disciplined, focused, and committed through every search.

In 2025, Hunt Talent Partners was established to do things differently.

After years in larger recruitment environments, the decision was made to build a boutique firm that:

• Treats every search as unique
• Prioritises quality over volume
• Values long-term partnerships over short-term wins
• Delivers honest, market-led advice

This philosophy continues to shape how Hunt Talent Partners collaborate with both clients and candidates today.

As a boutique firm, clients and candidates work directly with me throughout the search process.

This means:

• Direct accountability from briefing to placement
• Faster decision-making and clearer communication
• Consistent market insight and candidate engagement
• A highly personalised recruitment experience

It’s a deliberate choice — and one that many long-term clients value.
