Here's what digital brands and candidates across SEA say about working with us.
It was an absolute pleasure working with the ugp team during my recruitment process. From the very beginning, they were professional, warm, responsive, and genuinely supportive taking the time to understand my background, strengths, and career goals, and guiding me through every stage with clarity and care. What stood out most was the human touch: efficient and well-informed, but also thoughtful in every follow-up. I'd recommend ugp to any candidate or company looking for a recruiter who combines professionalism, care, and strong industry understanding.
What started as a casual LinkedIn conversation led to numerous opportunities. Helen took the time to understand my goals and only recommended placements that fit which is so important. She also goes above and beyond at every interview stage, prepping me with questions and background to read up on. That extra mile made all the difference.
Working with Uncommonly Good People was one of the most positive experiences I've had. The team took the time to understand not just my professional background, but also my career aspirations and what I was looking for next. Communication was prompt, transparent, and consistent. They kept me informed at every stage. More importantly, they acted as trusted advisors, offering thoughtful guidance and genuine support rather than simply functioning as recruiters.
I'm grateful to have discovered ugp. They helped me find a workplace that aligns well with my experience and expertise. Sigrid, who handled my recruitment, was very supportive and guided me through every step making the entire process stress-free. From job search to interviews to contract processing, everything ran smoothly. Overall, I really appreciate how seamless and well-supported the whole process was.
Very grateful for the support I received from ugp. Everyone was kind and responsive, with interview tips and constant updates at every stage. I appreciated how they took the time to check in and debrief with me afterwards. It felt like they genuinely cared about my application.
Working with Paula at ugp was a pleasure. The interview coordination was seamless, and I always felt well-informed thanks to clear communication. I especially appreciated how they prioritised my needs and goals throughout the process, making sure the role was a good fit for both sides. Thankful for Paula and the team for making this such a positive experience.
Looking for new roles is never an easy journey and I appreciate the partnership which UGP has extended. With UGP, it's not a plug and play job and all about understanding my experience and skill sets and what I'm truly passionate about and matching them with the right opportunities in the marketplace.
During a period of scaling our team in SG, we engaged Uncommonly Good People to assist with our in house recruitment. Not only did they fill a large number of open positions in a short window, they also assisted with all things MOM related, Visas, and countless Singapore specific questions, not always recruitment related! As someone who is not based in Singapore, I was tremendously grateful for a true local partner.
We engaged the Uncommonly Good People team to find us a market lead for Japan, and were very happy with the selection and management of candidates the team found for us. Having a network of experts within Japan allowed us to hire our first Regional Sales Director that no other “global” agencies managed to supply. Thanks UGP!
Helen was very consultative in my job hunting process. She took time to understand me and where my head was at, offered valuable advice before sending me towards a role that she felt fit me the most. 2 years down the road, I can safely say I’ve never been in a happier place and I am thriving!
I've had the good fortune to work on both sides of the fence with the team at ugp, and can vouch that they're brilliant at placing the right candidates in the right roles at the right businesses, at the right time. A genuinely lovely bunch of humans, and always my first call when hiring across SEA.

I had a really good experience with ugp during my job search. Helen was super responsive and helpful throughout, and everything was communicated clearly, which made things a lot less stressful. Her advice and guidance were genuinely useful when preparing for interviews, and her friendly personality made the whole experience feel less nerve-wracking. Really appreciated all the support along the way.
I'm truly grateful Helen reached out on LinkedIn at exactly the right moment in my career. The team was incredibly helpful, sharing valuable interview tips and keeping me updated after every round. Their energy, work ethic, and genuine care made the entire process feel so much less stressful. I especially appreciated how they advocated for me on compensation. Their dedication, professionalism, and support made a real difference.
Huge thanks to ugp for reaching out at just the right time in my career. I was still figuring out my next move and wanted to make sure my next company would be the right fit not just any fit. They took the time to understand what I was looking for and matched me with an opportunity that aligned really well with both my skills and the kind of culture I wanted. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful and genuinely helpful recruitment partner.
I had a really great experience with ugp. Everyone was easy to reach and approachable throughout the process. The hiring process was quick and smooth, which made everything so much easier. I really appreciate how seamless and supportive the whole experience was.
Paula was the recruiter who brought me into the business, and she set the tone for the entire experience. From the first conversation, she was clear, responsive, and genuinely invested in finding the right fit, not just filling a role. She took the time to understand my background and where I could add the most value, which made the whole process feel personal and far less transactional. What stood out most was her consistency, no gaps in communication, no guessing games. She kept me updated at every stage, gave helpful context before interviews, and followed through on everything she said she would do. Even after I joined, she checked in to make sure everything was going well, which says a lot about how much she cares about the people she places. Working with Paula was a really positive experience, professional, thoughtful, and clearly proud of the work.
I had the pleasure of working with UGP to hire a lot of talent for our team based in Singapore. They took the time to understand what we were looking for in the team & what we needed to thrive as a business. I am really proud of the team that we have built today with the right support from UGP.
It was such a delight working with UGP! We gave them a JD and they took care of the rest. The overall process of finding the right team member for our team was really smooth and I really appreciated how they listened and paid attention to everything that we asked for. Without their help, it would have taken us longer to find the right team member for us! Thank you UGP!
