MCG Talent - Live Roles - W/E 23rd March

Greetings from Singapore.

This week I’m working from our SG offices - my first visit of 2025.

It’s great to be back in a place that we all know so well and which has been very kind to us over the years. 

The trip has been fruitful with more roles onboarded (get ready for the below!) and things in Hong Kong haven’t been too bad either.

Similarly in the Middle East, things have kept moving, despite the reduced hours that Ramadan usually brings. 

We’ve got a lot more live roles to bring to you and as always, if you or someone you seems a good fit - please let us know!
