[GPGT] 7 local candidates were interviewed

[huihong]

Interviews of 7 interesting young candidates for a job which is a 3k+ salary with 14 days annual leave.

===

Local Applicant A requested not to touch his on weekends and whenever possible to work from home instead of working on site. When told him he needs to work on occasion weekends and off in lieu may be given, he asked for overtime weekend allowance and told me it is the law.

Local Applicant B said that our office is too far for her as she is staying in the east but willing to consider if we can provide transport allowances.

Local Applicant C shared her last drawn salary was $6k and was expecting this job to match. She is only willing to take a 5-10% paycut during probation and expect to be paid the same after clearing probation.

Local Applicant D requested for a team of junior staff to assist in his work because in his previous company, he had assistants to do some of his work. Told him we can not afford, we are a lean SME. His reply, “o.. thank you for your time, I will skip this interview.”

Local Applicant E asked if the company can give him 21 days annual leave instead of 14 days because his previous company gave him. When told he can take no pay leave if his leave is not enough, he said he will reconsider this offer.

Local Applicant F asked for a higher salary and when told we can only afford 3.6k per month, her response was... she will take the offer but would like the termination notice to be shortened to 1 week instead of 1 month... she was honest enough to say, “I am taking the job to survive for the time being while I wait for better opportunity.”

Local Applicant G asked for a guaranteed AWS + 1 month minimum VB to be written on the contract because his previous company, an MNC did that. Gave me a lecture on staff engagement and attracting talents and work life balance.

Good luck to them.

Pay $3k+ of course get $3k+ response

Pay $5k you seem the candidates response different liao

 

[Courage]

Sounds fake. Why would a candidate for a role that pays 3k ask for a team to assist him?

Is that an IB?

 

[Cut_throat]

3.6k p.m with 14 days annual leave. Suitable for fresh grads but not for those switching to new jobs. The HR has to profile this and elaborate in advance. This interviewer fail to do his/her job still got the cheek to kpkb about others.

There are some non-truths in his words.

He's obviously helping his PAP masters spin stories to justify their failed policies.

Please do not use hunger for a job, willingness to work hard and be humble as an excuse to get away with unattractive salary and benefits.

One should work smart and hard, not just work hard and be taken advantaged of.

 

[MiG123]

basically just another cheapskate local SME looking to lowball comp and benefits

no discussion whatsoever about candidate's talents/weaknesses and their fit for the role, fit for the team/company culture etc
