20+ Years of Experience | 500+ Global Placements
Your Specialist Global and Local Recruitment Solutions Provider
Regal exists to close the gap between exceptional people and the organizations that need them — connecting the right skills with the right opportunities, locally and across the globe.
OUR STORY
Regal was founded by Rei Laidlaw, built on a simple but powerful conviction: recruitment should make a genuine difference in people’s lives, not just fill a vacancy.
In a market where matching the right skills to the right opportunity is harder than it looks, Regal was created with a single-minded purpose — to bridge that gap honestly and effectively, for both employers and candidates. That founding purpose still drives everything we do today. We see ourselves as a trusted intermediary, one that represents companies and candidates fairly and transparently throughout every stage of the placement process.
Over two decades, that purpose has translated into more than 500 successful global placements and a reputation built on trust rather than transactions.
OUR VISION
To be a reputable, trustworthy mediator between organizations and candidates on a global scale.
To deliver the highest standard of professional service by combining management consulting expertise with deep industry knowledge
To guarantee value by identifying and nurturing exceptional talent, reinforcing our reputation as a reliable, long-term partner
Our aim is simple: the perfect collaboration between top professionals and reputable organisations, locally and internationally.
Everything we do is measured against five principles designed to consistently exceed client expectation:
-
Diversity — Attracting first-class human capital from across the globe
- Creativity — Thinking beyond convention to deliver practical, workable solutions
- Alignment — Adding real value by placing sought-after professionals with dynamic, growing businesses
- Community — Giving back through knowledge-sharing and training
- Significance — Empowering the business world through thought leadership
What We Stand For
Honesty, always
Consistency over talk
No ceiling on ambition
People are the differentiator
We believe in being truthful in every dealing with clients and candidates — whether or not anyone is watching.
Anyone can be great once. We measure ourselves on consistently delivering what we promise.
We treat "the sky's the limit" as our starting point, not our destination — always looking for smarter, more innovative ways to connect companies and candidates
A company's greatest competitive edge is its people, which is why we never encourage clients to settle for second best.
