“Tuhon” (투혼) in Korean means a relentless drive to succeed or “fighting spirit”. This expression is the inspiration behind our business. Ask any recruiter and they'll tell you that recruiting is tremendously hard. Effective recruiting is so much more than matching a resume to a job description. It requires persistence, timing, commercial awareness, risk taking, trust, listening, humility - the list goes on. 

Tuhon Recruiting was founded to represent the qualities that we would desired to see as a candidate, a client, and as a partner. We believe in order to make the hiring landscape healthier, we need to set a higher standard for the discipline. 

Founded by John Lee, Tuhon Recruiting partners with early-stage companies to help them hire critical talent during their growth phase. With over a decade of experience in startup recruiting, we understand how to identify and engage the people who can make an impact from day one. What sets us apart is the depth of in-house expertise building some of the most successful companies in the world.

Our hiring philosophy is to quickly identify and engage top-tier candidates, without sacrificing quality. We draw the bridge between the business needs of our customers with the career ambitions of our candidates.
