CAPABILITES STATEMENT Asia
PEOPLE. PROCESS. EXPERTISE.
Founded in 2007, we are an international recruiter of senior management professionals across all the real estate asset classes, corporate real estate, funds, development, hospitality, logistics and data centres and infrastructure niches. With a growing global reputation in our markets, our success is built on our vastly experienced people, rigorously designed processes, and meaningful sector expertise. Through services including retained search, project recruitment and contingent search, we support global businesses and iconic institutions across sectors, including commercial real estate, education, government, health and life sciences, heritage and culture, hospitality, infrastructure and construction, and living assets. Owing to high demand and the global scale of many of our clients, we’ve expanded globally at pace over the past few years. We have offices in London, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, Cape Town and Riyadh. Through these hubs, we recruit senior professionals across every real estate niche worldwide into a range of professional environments, from iconic London assets to Saudi Arabia’s giga- projects. We work hard to create a culture where our people bring their authentic selves to work, and to operate with the freedom they need to perform at the highest level. We’re proud to have created a fantastic and unique team that can benefit our clients and candidates in the hiring journey. Our values – Inventive, Inclusive, Forensic and Relentless – are at the core of our people-centred culture. That culture is driving our rapid growth and continued success.
A DATA-DRIVEN PROCESS Our recruitment processes are unique and play a vital role in why we’re chosen by the biggest and best-known companies in our sector. We believe it’s our responsibility, as a recruiter, to be objective, data-led and watertight in everything we do. So, our process is designed to empower clients to make unbiased hiring decisions. It’s never fixed or inflexible – senior-level recruitment can’t be. It’s rigorous and objective by design – eliminating risks and maximising opportunities. Ultimately, it replaces instinctive decision-making with transparent, systematised methods. Time and again, it results not only in more diverse workplaces – but more successful ones.
WHY MRG?

A REPUTATION FOR RESULTS

RECRUITMENT YOU CAN RELY ON.
We recruit mid to senior management level experts for organisations across every real estate specialism. Our services are always adaptable – tailored to your unique needs. But our core services include retained search, project recruitment and contingent executives. Retained Search Our retained search service is used by some of the world’s most renowned investors, asset managers and property advisors to find elusive and elite-level specialists. We believe it’s our responsibility not only to help our clients hire the right people – but to ensure that process is objective, data-led
and water- tight. This ethos underpins our retained search process. Project Recruitment Recruitment as a Service (RaaS), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Campaign Management… Project Recruitment comes in many shapes and sizes. It could be a search for a full leadership team on a trophy building, or full outsourcing for an SME seeking to increase headcount. Ultimately, it’s different every time – and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.
That’s why our solutions are bespoke – but shaped from experience. We take ideas from previous successes to build a framework to govern the project. Understanding global real estate trends keeps our clients ahead of their recruiting competitors by improving internal efficiencies. Our talent mapping activity which can be included in any project, reduces ‘time to hire’, gives immediate access to passive candidates and means an assignment is never started from cold.
Contingent Search Our contingent search service is a strategic choice for many of our clients seeking a swift and precise approach to securing high-calibre candidates. With over a decade of networking, we’ve curated a substantial database of exceptional talent. We are committed to not only assisting our clients in identifying top-tier individuals, but also ensuring that the process is marked by objectivity, data-driven insights, and unwavering efficiency. Like our approach to retained search, this dedication forms the core of our contingent search methodology.

Under Olly Piltz’s leadership, MRG People consistently provide the right talent whether it be for Giga projects in Saudi Arabia or Corporate roles whilst I worked at AECOM. This comes from a dedication to understanding the drivers for each role in detail and matching that with best-in-class candidates.
Philip Yim 2021 – Feb 2023 Chief Development Officer, WCT Malaysia Feb 2023 – current Director of Retail, Hospitality and Commercial NEOM Oxagon
I have worked with a number of real estate/property specialists in recruitment and Olly Piltz is by far the most experienced in understanding the industry and the dynamics across development and construction space. Olly has been instrumental in helping me secure two c-suite level roles in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. During all my interactions he has always been generous with his time, professional and sincere which is greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Olly Piltz and his MRG team.
