This means the demand for tech recruiters will continue to grow. Find out in this episode how an IT recruiter worked up the ranks to now be the Managing Director at Ambition, Singapore.
Michael Nette is an accomplished and International Technology recruiter that has worked in Melbourne, Japan, and Singapore. In 2019 he was promoted to Managing Director of Ambition, Singapore.
