Our Testimonials
What Our Clients & Candidates Say
Tan Je Wee
Managing Director from (Client) Vorel Pte Ltd
Hiring the right sales talent was a challenge until we partnered with Kreme Consulting. Their unique recruitment process went beyond CVs. They had provided us with insights of the candidate’s motivation, personality, cognitive ability (for problem solving) and cultural fit’s scores through the psychometric test that the candidate did. We were very impressed!
Thanks to their expertise, we hired a candidate without our industry experience who excelled in sales traits and is now thriving in our organization. Kreme Consulting gave us the data-driven confidence to make the right hiring decisions, moving away from “gut feel”.
Melissa Gonsalvez
People & Culture Lead (Client) Pulsifi
We engaged Kreme Consulting to support our hiring process because we value their expertise in identifying talent who not only meet the role’s requirements but also align with our company culture and long-term growth objectives. As a HR tech company ourselves, we combine our predictive models and assessments with the insights of an experienced recruiter like Irene from Kreme to ensure we hire talent who thrive and grow with us.
Stanley Hsu
Ex-Regional Director (Client) Darktrace
I have known Irene now for almost 10years back when she was at Hudson but have only really started working with her about a year ago. Irene has been very influential in helping me set up my sales team not just in Singapore but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan. She was not only able to meet our hiring criteria but also convinced the candidates to join a very young company like Darktrace. It’s been a real pleasure working with a true professional.

Worked with him in Sitecore and SAP Concur, Ex-Talent Acquisition Manager (Client) Sitecore
Irene was a great professional to work with. Her deliveries were always very well executed, on time and good client/candidate management. I highly recommend her recruitment service, and would love to work together again.
Jonathan Burgos
Strategic Account Director (Candidate) Diligent
I’ve had the privilege of working with Irene and Kreme Consulting Pte. Ltd. on two separate occasions, and each experience has been exceptional. In 2016 and again in 2021, Irene and her team placed me in roles that were not only a perfect fit for my skills and career goals, but also pivotal to my professional growth.
𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟯
I first met Irene when I was an Inside Sales representative at Oracle Corporation and was looking to explore opportunities in Field Sales, specifically for Enterprise/Account Executive roles. During the recruitment process, Irene demonstrated an unparalleled ability to understand my aspirations and align them with roles that matched my current skill set. She placed me in a role within the same domain, but with significantly greater responsibilities, and I flourished. This position led to multiple President’s Club achievements and, in 2018, being recognized as the APAC Sales Rep of the Year.
𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬/𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟭
The period leading up to 2021 was a challenging time in my professional life, compounded by the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. At a crossroads in my career, I was eager to embark on a new venture: taking on bigger responsibilities, selling SaaS, and finding the right cultural fit. Irene took the time to thoroughly explain the domain (GRC), the role (which had elements of a Country Manager), and the culture (which balanced hard work with play). It was clear that Irene cared deeply about finding the right opportunity for me, not just a job. Since then, I’ve been with the same organization for over three years, helping the Singapore office grow its clients in the APAC region, and while also securing the 2023 APAC Deal of the Year award.
What truly sets Irene and her team at Kreme Consulting apart is:
✨ Her experience in the Sales and IT industry, which was invaluable in understanding the specific needs of my field.
✨ A genuine concern for the well-being of the talent she places, rather than treating candidates as mere statistics.
✨ Most importantly, her willingness to go the extra mile as a friend and advisor. Irene has the rare ability to provide honest, constructive feedback—telling you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, which is a stark contrast to the “sweet-talking” often encountered with traditional recruiters.
I highly recommend Irene and Kreme Consulting to anyone seeking professional guidance or career opportunities. Her expertise, integrity, and unwavering support have made a lasting impact on my career.

I cannot recommend Wendy Chu highly enough for her exceptional talent as a headhunter. Wendy played a pivotal role in helping me secure a role as Senior Vice President at a leading international tech company. Her professionalism, industry insight, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process.
From our first conversation, Wendy demonstrated a deep understanding of my skills and career aspirations. She matched me with a role that not only aligned with my expertise but also challenged me to grow further. Her ability to identify opportunities that fit perfectly with my profile was remarkable.
What truly sets Wendy apart is her attention to detail and her genuine care for the candidates she works with. She provided thoughtful guidance on how to approach interviews, offered timely updates, and always made herself available to answer any questions or concerns. Her support and encouragement throughout the process made a world of difference.
Claudia Lau
Head of Customer Enablement (Candidate) Pulsifi
My experience working with Irene was a very delightful one. We got connected as Irene placed me in my current role.
From our initial interaction, it was evident that she possesses a deep understanding of the HR industry and has a unique ability to connect candidates with roles that suit their skills, experience, and long-term goals. Her approach was both professional and personable, ensuring that I felt supported and that my career objectives were met.
One of the aspects I most appreciated was Irene’s ability to listen intently and ask insightful questions to fully understand my career background, expertise, and ambitions. This level of attentiveness ensured that every opportunity presented to me was a strong match, saving time and demonstrating her commitment to finding the right fit. We later became friends and working partners.
In our current partnership, I see outstanding business acumen, persistence, and adaptability. Irene never backs down from a challenge, and is always identifying opportunities to deliver innovative solutions. With unwavering determination and the ability to pivot strategies seamlessly, she consistently drives success and inspires those around her.
It is my great pleasure to work with her.
