Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) like GIC and Temasek do use headhunters (HHs) for certain roles, but it depends on the position and the fund's recruitment strategy. For associate-level positions, SWFs may rely on both headhunters and direct job postings. LinkedIn postings for SWFs are generally legitimate, but it's always a good idea to cross-check with the fund's official careers page or reach out to their HR team for confirmation.
Headhunters are often used for more senior or specialized roles, while entry-level or associate positions might be filled through direct applications, campus recruiting, or internal referrals. If you're targeting these roles, applying through LinkedIn or directly on their website can be effective, but networking and leveraging connections can also significantly improve your chances.
