Conesis is a fast-growing tech start-up. Within a year of its founding, it has expanded its operations to encompass sixteen regional offices across four continents. The bulk of the company's offices are presently situated in Europe and North America. 

The company has plans to expand its presence in Southeast Asia, with Singapore being its first office. The Singapore office is intended to be the future base of operations for the entire region. The establishment of the new office requires a major hiring effort, and the company's top management intends to recruit heavily from the local population's new and recent graduates. Conesis has established a major presence at career fairs held by local universities and will use assessment centres to assess the large candidate pool.
