Contact Singapore recently released a press release in China announcing that it will be organizing the largest recruitment fair in Shanghai on 17 Apr. Contact Singapore is a Singapore Government organization formed by the Singapore Economic Development Board and Ministry of Manpower. It aims to attract ¡°global talent¡± to work, invest and live in Singapore (www.contactsingapore.org.sg)
According to the press release, there will be a number of Singapore-based MNCs and Singapore local companies participating in the fair to provide ¡°bountiful¡± job opportunities to the Chinese talents. Companies from three major industry sectors will be represented: electronics, finance and real estate. Some of the participating companies include: Panasonic Asia Pacific, MediaTek, UniConnect, DBS Bank, OCBC, UOB, Far East Organization and others. Over two hundred positions will be offered, including graduate trainee positions. At the recruitment fair, Contact Singapore will also be providing information regarding working and living in Singapore.
Now, after reading the PR, I would like to ask Contact Singapore a simple question. Is it that difficult to find 200 Singaporeans to fill those positions? Furthermore, in my view, it is even more puzzling to go overseas to recruit people for graduate trainee positions. Can¡¯t our local fresh graduates fill these positions? I would imagine one would go abroad to find talents when they are not readily available locally. And finally, is the role of Contact Singapore still relevant given that Singapore is filled to its brim with foreigners these days? Even if we want to get real talents from abroad, wouldn¡¯t that be the job for headhunting and HR companies?
