What I'm looking for

I seek an HR/recruitment role in APAC to lead end-to-end hiring, employer branding, and contractor/operations in a fast-paced, growth-oriented company focused on measurable hiring outcomes.

I am an HR professional with around 10 years' experience, including six years in Singapore, working across high-growth internet startups, in-house recruitment, and agency environments. I hold CEI certification (Basic with EFMA) under Singapore's Employment Agencies Regulatory Framework and received SAP HR functional training at MediaTek, Taiwan.

I have a proven track record closing high-volume and niche technical and non-technical roles, managing contractor lifecycles, and executing social-media-led employer branding and campus hiring strategies. I am hands-on with HRIS/SAP and payroll inputs, skilled at talent mapping, stakeholder management, and delivering timely, compliant hiring outcomes for APAC clients.
