HR Technology - Recruitment

I came across this new platform of hiring by using “Broadbean”, an automated job distribution tool and that allows simultaneous job posting to multiple jobsites. Infact, HR technology will become more streamlined as we can move away from multiple vendors to a big data analytics system that allows applicant tracking and video interview possible in one platform..

Working At The Right Places

As the year draws to a close, an article that I wish to share on working at "the Right Places" by SHRI based on the whitepaper - Fast Forward 2030: The Future of Work and the Workplace (CBRE).

It covers new emerging tends that are evolving in our workplaces..and young employees are seeking out for:

• Activity-based: "places to work" rather than "work places";
• A future workplace with "a wide variety of quiet retreat and collaborative settings" with flexibility to chose a setting that best suits their work at any particular moment; &
• Workplaces that are designed to support wellbeing

Singapore's SkillFuture; another Talent Acquisition Operating Tool

This is another S'pore govt initiative SkillsFuture Earn and Learn apprenticeship program targeting at fresh graduates from local Polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education. There is a sign-on bonus for the local graduates ($5,000) while employers will also be eligible to apply for training grant (up to $15,000 for each trainee in-take). For a start, if you belong to the logistics, food manufacturing, retail or F&B industries, you should explore this option as part of recruitment strategy.

Linkedin?

In my new role, I have began to use Linkedin more often,.to fish out potential candidates. And, for those of you that use Linkedin, I recommend you to read this:

http://successinhr.com/simple-deadly-hr-career-mistakes#more-6452

I have been on the move in my career and I enjoyed every learning process, my reflective stance just for sharing purpose,.

When you are working for a US MNC, you can expect work processes to be very structured and well-defined but somewhat bureaucratic at times..

When you are working for a foreign owned organization with very rich local history, you can expect some legacy issues that will hamper change. For change to happen, you will need to tweak existing policies and calibrate with key stakeholders to drive change.

When you work in a Medium Enterprise, you have to be adaptable as work processes may not be robust (or you may even need to define the work process) and manage your own expectation,.tenacity is the key!

My 2 cents worth..it doesn't matter how you start but how you end..be blessed!

Developing a Strong Singapore Core

I read the article, Developing a strong Singapore core (Shalini Shukla 25 Aug 2014) from the HRM Asia. The National Job Bank is at its height, with opportunities in abundance for our local talents. Perhaps this can provide an avenue to fulfil your recruitment needs:

There is aplenty of recruitment strategies, just share 2 common ones:

• Establish network with local tertiary institutes
• Introduce a Friend, referral program

You can even throw in a holiday trip lucky draw program for eligible recommender & recommendee for the referral program (at the end of the calendar year); as part of retention effort to retain more locals.


Nuggets for the day..


Let your mind be unwind, be surrounded with like-minded people, filling a meadow with laugher and hope...be blessed.


Have a great weekend!
