Building on 12 years in the technology recruiting industry, Scott spent 7 years working for boutique specialist recruitment agencies in the UK and in 2013 he joined a global specialist recruitment agency in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, servicing clients across the APAC region. He has developed an appreciation for the skills required to succeed – assertiveness combined with professionalism, the ability to truly listen to and understand a client’s needs.
Scott’s honest, straight-forward approach to the recruitment process, as well as his integrity and forthrightness have allowed him to develop an extremely high interview-to-hire ratio. He specializes in niche recruitment projects as well as retained executive search, and consults clients on building and utilizing an effective approach to recruiting senior-level candidates.

Brian Lau
Recruitment Consultant - Cyber Security
As the saying goes – “don’t judge a book by its cover”
We welcome our new Cyber Specialist Recruiter! Brian reached out to us relentlessly on LinkedIn to join us. Initially we were not convinced due to his lack of experience in our industry, so we decided to meet him for an initial chat. Soon after our first meeting we were convinced he will be our next recruiting wizard.
Brian asks the right questions and remembers all the answers – the ultimate skills you need to be an ace recruiter. First week in the job and he absolutely loves talking to people in view of helping them find their next ideal role, something he’ll be doing for the rest of his life, he says. 😅
His warm and infectious laugh can often be heard throughout the office, but when all is quiet there’s a good chance he’s Googling and learning about his industry. He’s a gym junkie and a secret Nicole Kidman fan (although obviously that secret is out now, Brain – sorry mate).
Brian Lau will be specialising within Cyber Security space and recruit for: Cognitive Security, Cyber Watson, Incident Response Services, Identity Governance, Ethical Hackers, Penetration Testing, IAM, SOC, SIEM, Data Security, Endpoint Security, Cryptography, Internet Security, CISSP, Cisco CCNA, PMP, CompTIA Security+.
