Simon Bruce (Country Director of MyWorld Careers Co., Ltd.)

Simon Bruce

Country Director of MyWorld Careers Co., Ltd.

Simon, with over 18 years of experience in the Recruitment and Staffing industry, started his career in recruitment in 2005 while employed at Japan's top recruitment agency, where he ranked no. 1 in both his company and the country for his specialty. After nine years of tenure in both the Japanese and Australian recruitment markets within the same company, he relocated to Myanmar in 2015 to establish MyWorld Careers.

Simon is highly process-driven, ensuring that operations are exceptionally systematic. He employs a structured approach to solving clients' staffing needs, drawing from the high customer service standards he developed during his time in Japan. He has been able to pass on this obsession with efficiency and high customer service skills to the local team that has enabled them to develop MyWorld Careers to become the no. 1 Recruitment and Staffing agency in Myanmar. In a remarkably short time frame, the business expansion into Cambodia has led to rapid ascension to the top, establishing itself as a trusted name in the country's recruitment landscape within 2.5 years. Building on this achievement, MyWorld Careers has further extended its reach to Laos, achieving notable growth within just one year of entering the market.
