Evelyn Siow: Seacare Manpower's New Managing Director

Congratulations on your new role as MD of Seacare Manpower Services. Could you briefly share your career journey?

Evelyn: I began my career as an administrative executive, handling contracts and payrolls. As our business expanded, I built a team to supercharge our work capabilities, which grew in sync with our booming business.

What’s your view on Singapore’s employment outlook?

The workforce is constantly evolving, with the expectations of job seekers and hirers following suit, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic. These trends have sparked a fiercely competitive job market, leading to job losses, the birth of new roles, and shifts in employment dynamics.

As you step into your new role, what challenges have you identified, and how do you plan to tackle them?

I’ve identified challenges in business strategy, operational efficiency, and team dynamics. My plan is to turn them into opportunities by enhancing our market position, introducing value-added services, expanding our clientele, and leveraging technology – with a focus on aligning our team towards these goals.

What makes Seacare Manpower Services unique and stand out among other recruitment firms?

Our uniqueness lies in our vast experience, diverse services, proven success and client-focused approach built over nearly three decades in the industry.

What do you envision for Seacare Manpower Services to be in the next 5-10 years?

We’re actively forging strategic alliances with industry players and tech firms to boost our resources and ignite growth. This along with the changes, will make us an agile, forward-thinking and customer-centric firm that thrives in the dynamic landscape of the HR industry.
