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?
