Our Founding Partners started Mavence Group with the idea to bring together a truly transparent 360° experience for both clients and candidates in this rapidly evolving market. We firmly believe that a true recruitment partnership is a two-way committed relationship and this is our motto behind every client and candidate engagement.
We understand how to provide relevant value-added insights at stages beyond the traditional recruitment processes. Our end-to-end methodology allows us to help clients and candidates realise their needs for change, but most importantly building tailored strategies and delivering one-stop execution services.
CHARLES MAK
FOUNDER & MANAGING PARTNER
Charles is a driven talent strategy consultant with a track record in building and scaling Technology recruitment practices. During his previous six-year tenure at a multinational recruitment firm, he was trained to deliver 360° specialism recruitment across multiple seniority. He was one the key drivers as the firm transformed from a start-up into a corporate, during which he consistently delivered value-added solutions in both contingency and retained partnerships across permanent and contract positions. Charles has also been recognised as a consistent biller with a high level of return business in the region. He has had a successful track record with major international institutions as well as SMEs across a broad range of APAC locations, including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia.
Carrying on this momentum and having seen the strength & pitfalls of different approaches, he has co-founded Mavence Group in 2020 to incorporate his belief into redefining what it means to be a recruitment expert. He has in-depth knowledge within the technical & leadership space across multiple digital and innovation verticals, with a personal specialty in Software Applications, Operations Engineering & Data Analytics across a broad spectrum of industries including Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, Logistics, Retail, Real Estate and Emerging Technology sectors.
Prior to recruitment, Charles completed his education in the UK, with a Masters Degree in Management from WBS, and a Bachelor Degree in Psychology also from the University of Warwick. He speaks Native English and Cantonese, with business fluency in Mandarin.
