About CY Life

Founder

Expertise Driven by Purpose | 8+ Years in HK Insurance Recruitment

I began my recruitment journey in 2018, specializing in the heart of Hong Kong’s Insurance and Financial sectors. Over the years, my desk has evolved from core Accounting and Finance to complex Strategy, Transformation, and Distribution roles.

In 2026, I founded CY Life to move away from the high-pressure, "commission-first" culture of traditional agencies. Named after my two children, Ching and Yat, my firm is built on a simple but powerful belief:

Recruitment is about the "life" of a career

and the "lives" of the people involved.

As a mother of two and a business founder, I understand that a successful placement requires more than just a technical match — it requires an alignment of values, pace, and long-term vision. I’ve seen the cost of a "mismatched" placement made just to hit a sales target.
Today, I use my boutique agility to provide:

  • Speed & Quality: Vetted, high-impact CVs delivered without corporate bureaucracy.

  • Full Spectrum Coverage: From Permanent Executive Search to Flexible Secondment/Contracting solutions.

  • Honest Advisory: Career coaching that respects the balance between professional ambition and personal reality.

Whether you are a hiring manager looking for a stable "runner" book of talent or a professional seeking your next strategic move, I invest the time to understand your story.

Specialties: Insurance, Finance & Accounting, UHNW, Strategy & Transformation, Distribution Roles, and Secondment Solutions.
