Changi Airport starts major recruitment drive to fill 6,600 job vacancies​

SINGAPORE - Changi Airport is looking to hire more than 6,600 workers, as it embarks on one of its biggest recruitment drives to take full advantage of a fierce rebound in air travel.
Changi Airport Group (CAG) said in its publication Changi Journeys on Tuesday night (May 17) that people may be hired on the spot at the One Aviation Careers Fair to take place at the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre next Friday and Saturday.
More than 20 aviation companies will be conducting on-site interviews.
Hiring will be focused on filling frontline passenger service positions, as well as newly created roles in innovation and technology. Behind-the-scene workers such as ground handlers will also be in high demand, with both Sats and Dnata looking for more hands.
There are also job vacancies in the quality assurance team, which checks for food contaminant at the microbial level, and for airport emergency service and cyber security officers.
"At this growth rate, Changi is expected to recover more than half of its pre-Covid-19 passenger volume in 2022," CAG said.
"A positive vibe and energy are returning to Changi. More flights and passengers mean more airport staff are needed to support this growth.

The air transport sector lost about a quarter to a third of its airport workers during the pandemic.
With air travel quickly returning to pre-Covid-19 levels - by 2023, according to estimates by the International Air Transport Association - CAG is making sure to increase its capacity in tandem, so that manpower bottlenecks do not become a limiting factor in Changi's ambition to restore its air hub status.
Already, CAG has had to reschedule "a very small number of flights" to spread them apart during high peak periods.


Observers also said CAG is approving flights more cautiously, despite airlines now clambering to once more use the slots they had vacated in the last two years.
While filling the 6,600 job vacancies will not bring aviation employment levels back to 2019 levels, it is the industry's first such drive in two years.
CAG said its airport partners are offering competitive salaries, good incentives and better career prospects.
Singapore Airlines has said it will gradually restore its pilots' basic salaries to pre-Covid-19 levels by January next year.

Dr David Leong, managing director of PeopleWorldwide Consulting, a HR search and advisory firm, said Changi Airport’s recruitment drive is likely to be one of the largest hiring campaigns since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and should attract an equally large response.
“Changi needs to bolster its workforce early to cope with the expected surge in air traffic and arrivals to Singapore,” Dr Leong said.
Asked whether the airport will face competition from other manpower-starved sectors such as retail and food and beverage, he said Changi is likely to come out on top.
“Working at Changi carries a certain premium, and if the hiring campaign is run well, they are likely to attract those from F&B, retail and hospitality to jump over,” he added.
However, Dr Leong said it may be a while before the airport is back to being a well-oiled operation. “This needs training or retraining and the setting of new service standards to ensure service excellence. Such processes take time.”

S'pore's financial sector on hiring spree, with a third of over 9,400 new jobs in tech: MAS chief​

SINGAPORE - The Republic's central bank estimates that there will be more than 9,400 new jobs on offer in the financial sector this year, with about a third of them in technology.
Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) chief Ravi Menon on Thursday (May 19) said that of the more than 3,000 jobs in tech, 700 will be roles for software developers and engineers.
This hiring pool will support the design and development of digital financial services and trade finance, blockchain technology, and use of artificial intelligence to detect fraud and money laundering.
Mr Menon said in his opening address at the inaugural Singapore Financial Forum that the Asian Development Bank estimates that strong exports and domestic demand will drive developing Asia's growth at more than 5 per cent per annum in the coming years.
Singapore then needs to grow a strong local talent pool while attracting global talent.
With regard to building a strong Singaporean core, Mr Menon stressed that it is "not a 'Singaporeans-only' strategy".
Such a strategy would be fatal for Singapore as a global financial hub, as there are simply not enough locals to meet the fast-expanding specialist needs of financial institutions, he said.


Rather, the idea is to develop good skills and capabilities in Singapore's local workforce and ensure fair hiring opportunities.
MAS estimates there were more than 3,000 Singapore citizens in senior roles in the financial sector last year, up by more than 80 per cent from 2016.
"The financial sector is growing rapidly and creating more jobs than our small local workforce can meet. Our labour market is tightening with unfilled vacancies and rising wages.


"If we do not remain open to global talent, our financial sector will lose its competitiveness and growth will be sub-par," Mr Menon warned.
He stressed that Singapore continues to welcome foreigners despite changes in work pass policies.
The changes are not to cut the intake of Employment Pass holders but to enable entry of high-quality global talent in a more transparent and flexible way, he said.

From September next year, besides having to meet the Employment Pass qualifying salary, applicants will have to score at least 40 points under the Complementarity Assessment Framework (Compass), where an individual's qualifications will be assessed along with the firm's workforce diversity and support for local employment.
Mr Menon said an internal MAS study showed that there is generally "a high degree of complementarity between highly skilled Employment Pass holders and local professionals in the financial sector".
A key initiative is the technology in finance programme, under which 90 per cent of the 2019 cohort from non-tech sectors found good tech jobs in financial institutions.
A further 530 mid-career professionals from the 2020 and 2021 cohorts are still going through the programme, said Mr Menon, adding that the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) is launching another round this year with close to 700 training places.
To strengthen the local talent pool, MAS together with Workforce Singapore (WSG) and the IBF have been more systematically supporting mid-career transitions to the financial sector.
IBF and WSG will also launch a three-month programme for those interested in transitioning to the wealth management sector.
Seven major retail banks will take part in this inaugural programme, which aims to fill close to 200 roles in the sector.
One of those who made a switch early in her career is Ms Edris Boey, 36, head of ESG Research at Singapore-based family office Maitri Asset Management.
She had started in KPMG's financial audit division in 2008 and moved to the firm’s climate change and sustainability department in 2012 after finding her calling in this area.
"The biggest challenge would be keeping myself motivated and encouraging like-minded people that there is a need for this line of work, for people like us. Back then, the career opportunities were far and few between," she said.
Ms Boey then headed to Hong Leong Asia to manage sustainability strategy, reporting, and compliance, before joining Maitri Asset Management, where she develops the firm’s proprietary ESG integrated investment framework and practice.
"There are definitely sacrifices that will be needed and I think that sacrifice needs to be quite calculated," she said in her tips for those looking to switch careers too.
In his speech, Mr Menon also urged overseas Singaporeans to return and consider being part of the city's financial sector.
He noted that sustainable finance is the newest and possibly most promising area of growth in the finance world.
"In Singapore, we are developing strategies to build a comprehensive ecosystem for green and transition financing. We are aligning financing efforts with credible sectoral transition plans that provide clarity about transition pathways and carbon emission targets, and this in turn generates investor confidence and catalyses greater sustainable finance flows," said the MAS chief.
Singapore is now home to more than 50 global and regional innovation labs and over 1,400 fintech firms.
Last year, the city clocked a record high of US$3.9 billion (S$5.4 billion) in fintech investments, up from US$2.5 billion in 2020.
For instance, JP Morgan has partnered DBS Bank and Temasek to establish Partior, a multi-currency, cross-border settlement platform.
The two-day financial virtual forum aims to give finance professionals an idea of key opportunities in Singapore’s finance sector. It is organised by MAS, IBF and Singapore Global Network, a division of the Economic Development Board.
Attendees are Singaporeans based locally and overseas, international participants, and industry leaders in Singapore's financial sector.

Retrenched GSK employee sues over not being considered for other roles in company​

SINGAPORE - He was required to relocate to Singapore, after he became a global expert director for nutrition and digestive health business at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) consumer healthcare.
About two years later, Mr Kallivalap Praveen Nair was retrenched on grounds of redundancy.
He is now suing the pharmaceutical company for about $1.35 million, arguing he was not considered for various roles within the company.
In a trial beginning on Wednesday (July 27), Mr Nair said this was a result of GSK breaching its employment agreement and that had he been given the opportunity to be considered for the roles, he would likely have secured one and would not have been made redundant, according to court documents.
The sum he is seeking from GSK includes about $1.15 million for loss in income as he has been unemployed since June 30, 2020, and about $150,000 which he said was a shortfall in the amount in his severance package.
GSK has counterclaimed against Mr Nair, seeking about $95,200 from his severance package which it said was paid to him by mistake.
Mr Praveen Nair, who moved from India to Singapore in June 2018, is represented by Mr Vikram Nair from Rajah & Tann.

In court documents, Mr Vikram Nair said GSK deprived his client the opportunity to be considered for roles with consumer goods company Unilever to which GSK sold its nutrition business to in April 2020.
He added his client was left off a list of personnel eligible for assessment for Unilever roles published by GSK in early May 2019.
When Mr Praveen Nair asked his manager why this was so, the manager suggested that this may have been motivated by GSK's perception that he would be a threat to the GSK consumer business if he had taken up the equivalent of a global expert role in Unilever.

This is denied by GSK, which is being represented by Wong & Leow. In its defence, GSK said that Mr Praveen Nair was invited to several interviews with Unilever but was ultimately not selected by the firm.
On June 11, 2019, GSK said in an e-mail that a new global head of expert marketing role had been created and that Ms Tess Player, an employee, had been appointed to that role.
Mr Praveen Nair said there was no indication prior to the announcement that the new role had been created and he was not given the opportunity to apply for it.
He argued that by failing to disclose the creation of the new role, GSK is in breach of its employment agreement.

Mr Vikram Nair said that in retaliation for his client's probing into Ms Player's appointment in the new role, he was not fairly considered for other roles.
He added that it also led to his client getting a shorter notice period compared with other retrenched GSK personnel from the nutrition and digestive health business.
GSK said in its defence that Mr Praveen Nair was denied the roles because he was found unsuitable and that he was given the notice period as contractually provided for in the employment contract.
The trial continues on Thursday.

Singapore still has plenty of tech jobs amid layoffs worldwide: Ng Chee Meng​

NOV 11, 2022

SINGAPORE - The demand for tech talent here is still high amid the spate of tech firms laying off staff worldwide, said labour chief Ng Chee Meng on Friday.
He urged those who have lost their jobs to consider applying for some 400 jobs on offer at the Infocomm Jobs and Skills Fair at the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) Centre in Marina Bay on Friday. The fair is open online till Nov 25.
The fair comes after major tech firm Meta laid off at least 50 employees in Singapore as it slashed 11,000 jobs worldwide to cut costs. An unknown number of Twitter employees here were also affected as the social media giant cut 3,700 jobs worldwide.
Mr Ng, who is NTUC’s secretary-general, told The Straits Times: “In the local space, there is a lot of aggregate demand for tech talent… With this job fair, we are trying to help match those already equipped with the skills to jobs that are available.”
The lack of tech talent here means that opportunities are open even to those who have not worked in a while and others who are keen on a mid-career switch to tech, he added.
Mr Ng also urged those in the industry to adopt an adaptive mindset and keep their skills updated as the tech sector evolves rapidly.
About 135 job seekers attended the fair in the hope of landing one of the 400 roles on offer by some 30 firms such as Accenture and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The hybrid event was jointly organised by NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), Tech Talent Assembly (TTAB) and AWS.

The openings cover a wide range of roles in tech firms, from cloud engineers and data analysts to positions in sales, design and human resource management.
Mr Ng encouraged job seekers to tap the courses and traineeships available at the fair to find a way into tech. These include AWS’ re/Start programme, which was launched in June to provide training for tech roles, and career coaching services to help job hunters in their search.
TTAB president Ng Tiong Gee said reskilled workers are important to the talent-strapped industry as experienced workers in tech are hard to find.

Said Mr Ng: “They are not easy to find and they are very expensive. The number of people needed in the industry is going to grow... Where are they going to come from?”
He cited research commissioned by AWS that predicted cyber-security and cloud-related roles would be the top two most in-demand roles by employers by 2025.
Cloud-related roles are sure to be in demand in the coming years, said AWS public sector country manager Elsie Tan, adding that 65 per cent of workers indicated in the firm’s research they need cloud-related training by 2025 to progress in their careers.
Regarding the recent layoffs, Mr Ng said: “A lot of jobs have been changed by tech, so if workers don’t reskill, it will be hard to keep a job.”
Some job seekers at the fair, when interviewed, said it would be tough to switch to the tech sector but that the courses and traineeships on offer would help prepare them for new roles.

Mr Mohamad Ajmal, 41, who works at a money exchange in Bugis, said he was considering the training programmes to help him make his dream move into the tech industry.
“I have learnt some basics in coding but am still not very familiar. The traineeship programmes and advice can help make me more comfortable in a new role. I’d also like to find out if the role is a good fit for me,” he added.
A business analyst who gave his name only as Mr Lin, 36, said he was keen to find a cloud-related job, but was not confident he has the expertise as he has had several unsuccessful job applications despite attending multiple courses.
Mr Lin added: “I’ve taken up online courses in data analysis and sciences, but I am not sure if it is enough. The assessments for these roles are difficult to complete.”

Former associate program manager Fadil Ismail, 38, said he turned to an e2i career coach to help him prepare a resume that suited the demands of tech firms.
The father of four, who was laid off in March by a leading tech firm, said he also signed up for a nine-month data training course to keep up with changing tech trends while he searches for a full-time position.
“After seven years at that firm, maybe I grew complacent, thinking that nothing would happen to me. Now that I am back looking for a job, I think some of my skills might need to be updated. So I must keep learning,” he added.
