Substance | Level Up by Substance

At Substance, we work with businesses that: ★ Value quality over quick fixes ★ See hiring as strategy, not just seat-filling ★ Want honest, grounded, no-nonsense recruitment built on non-transactional partnerships and trust We are recruiters with real experience — in-house, agency, and RPO. We’ve led hiring for global brands like Booking.com, MBCC (a BASF spin-off), GoJek, Microsoft, Foodpanda, and more. From building pipelines and localizing employer brands in tough markets like China, Korea, and Japan, to working at LinkedIn where we trained recruiters to master the platform and helped employers revamp their branding strategies — we bring real-world expertise, not empty promises. What makes us different: ★ Real recruiters, not platforms ★ Clear pricing — no hidden fees, no vague promises ★ Move faster, without sacrificing quality ★ Access remote, global, and flexible talent pools We don’t waste your time — or the candidate’s. If the talent isn’t right, we’ll say so. If your role is broken, we’ll help fix it. Fair, transparent, and grounded in reality. Hiring should have substance. That’s exactly what we bring.
