About Nat & Nat Search
A Singapore-based boutique recruitment firm focused on placing outstanding legal, finance, and adjacent governance talent into organisations where the hire truly matters.
Founded in 2026
Built on 30 years of collective experience
Founded in 2026 by two founders with a collective 30 years of recruitment experience, we built Nat & Nat Search to raise the bar on what clients and candidates should expect—sharp role calibration, honest market insight, and shortlists you can hire from.
Why "Nat & Nat"
Our name is personal. Co-founder Claire Lin named Nat & Nat Search after her twin daughters, reflecting the firm's founding philosophy: relationships built for the long term, with care, integrity, and accountability.
What makes us different
Unlike broad-based agencies, we stay intentionally concentrated on legal and finance hiring—because these hires are high-stakes. They shape risk, revenue, governance, and reputation. Specialisation gives us deeper networks in niche talent pools, better judgement on fit (technical + behavioural + stakeholder style), and faster, more accurate shortlists with fewer "maybe" profiles.
