My Story

There’s a lot that goes into a smooth hiring transition – Matt Symes is prepared to help with all of it. Matt’s support makes everyone feel calm and confident throughout the entire process: from the initial client liaison and search all the way through matching, coaching, negotiation, and resignation assistance.

Matt is passionate about recruiting top talent in the pharmaceutical and healthcare space. A winning placement directly impacts society in a meaningful way! He’s proud to serve multinational clients across the Asia-Pacific region, and he’s a true specialist with a full decade of experience in recruiting mid-career and executive searches. In 2019, he earned the distinguished award for Best Partnering Consultant by Johnson & Johnson.

As the self-proclaimed ‘ringmaster’ of three rambunctious boys, he knows exactly how to think on his feet and stay organized. He’s originally from Australia with bilingual fluency in English and Japanese. Matt is also an avid sportsman who knows the value of enjoying BBQ and beer with friends.
