About us

International Recruitment Investments (IRI) specialises in creating and developing start-up recruitment companies, offering senior recruitment specialists the opportunity to own and run their business.

IRI also assists recruitment companies who do not have a presence in Asia with a "soft landing" strategy by bringing together our market knowledge, contacts and operational infrastructure to provide an off the shelf solution to setting up in Asia.

More recently IRI has moved into more traditional M&A work advising professionals within the industry on how to build and ultimately sell their business as well as acting as the broker on such transactions.

IRI is headquartered in Hong Kong with business operations in the key Asian cities of Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Singapore, all of which are experiencing a record growth in recruitment. IRI also has investments in the Middle East in Dubai.

The firm was created in 2007 and is owned and managed by a team of highly qualified professionals. All have a proven track record in the Asia Pacific executive recruitment industry as executive managers and business owners.

Already their management experience, entrepreneurial skills and business vision has created a diversified portfolio of successful recruitment company brands.
