Meet Karman

Originally from Scotland, after university I made the leap to Hong Kong to escape the unpredictable weather and to pursue a career in recruitment.

My background in psychology allows me to delve deeper into understanding human behaviour and motivations. I find great value in reading people, which enhances my ability to match candidates with the right positions. With over 10 years of experience in financial IT recruitment, I have been placing individuals into software engineer/IT support/infrastructure roles predominantly for hedge funds, investment banks, fintech, and insurance firms in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and UK.


In an industry often driven by numbers, I prioritise accuracy and relevancy because no hiring manager wants to be flooded with irrelevant profiles. What sets me apart is my dedication to delivering quality over quantity. People also say I have a super good memory - so I'll probably remember your favourite coffee order :)

While an introvert at heart, I enjoy having deep insightful conversations with people, whether it's about work or life. Outside of work, you can find me cooking healthy food/ lifting weights at the gym/ hitting my step goals. I believe that a healthy body fuels a healthy mind and this contributes to overall success!

Let’s connect and see how we can work together!
