Evolving Talent Acquisition in South East As an APAC recruiter, I have noticed and being part of the post pandemic hiring acceleration and focus shift to South East Asia. SEA has emerged as the fastest growing region in global hiring. In the coming years APAC remains the top hiring market globally. Some Key Trends are:- 1. Cross-Border Hiring: Regional mobility rising with increased foreign hiring and intra-SEA relocations. 2. AI & Digitization: Recruitment is increasingly automated, predictive, and data-driven. 3. Flexibility: Remote and hybrid work are expected, not optional. 4. Employer Values & ESG: Purpose, brand authenticity, ESG, and DE&I are essential to attract and retain modern talent. Whitecrow Group partners with leading MNCs across APAC, delivering trusted talent solutions. I specialize in connecting professionals with opportunities in Supply Chain, Automation, Manufacturing, Transformation, Engineering, Quality Management, and Product Development across South East Asia.

【Empowering Global Students to Navigate Japan’s Job Market】 Last week, I had the privilege of hosting Career Guidance (Vol.1) at Toyo University, where we explored how international students can better understand and prepare for Japan’s unique new graduate hiring process. Tomorrow, we’ll continue with another session (Vol.2), taking the discussion from understanding to practical action. This session will focus on: 🔹 LinkedIn for Career Development – Building a strong profile and professional presence 🔹 Industry Research & Internship Search – Exploring companies and opportunities 🔹 Networking in Practice – Alumni outreach and effective communication 🔹 Beyond LinkedIn – Events and job boards for global job seekers Our goal is to help every student take the next step with confidence — whether it’s crafting their first profile, connecting with alumni, or planning their long-term career journey in Japan. It’s always inspiring to see how quickly international students adapt once they understand the structure and rhythm of Japan’s job-hunting landscape. Tomorrow’s discussion will focus on turning that understanding into tangible progress. 【グローバル学生が日本の就職市場を理解し、キャリアを築くために】 先週、東洋大学にて Career Guidance Vol.1 を実施しました。 日本独特の新卒採用プロセスを、留学生の皆さんがどのように理解し、準備していけるかをテーマにお話ししました。 明日は Vol.2。理解から、より具体的な実践へ。 今回のセッションでは、以下のテーマを扱います。 🔹 LinkedIn for Career Development – Building a strong profile and professional presence 🔹 Industry Research & Internship Search – Exploring companies and opportunities 🔹 Networking in Practice – Alumni outreach and effective communication 🔹 Beyond LinkedIn – Events and job boards for global job seekers 目的は明確です。 LinkedInのプロフィール作成、OB・OGへのアプローチ、そして日本での長期的なキャリア形成。 その“最初の一歩”を、自信を持って踏み出せるようにサポートすることです。 理解が深まるほどに、行動が変わり、成果が変わる。 そんな瞬間を応援できるのが、この仕事の醍醐味でもあります。 〆 #enworldJapan #enablingsuccess #CareerCompass #TotalAwareness #Global #CareerEducation #UniversityCollaboration #LinkedInForStudents #ToyoUniversity

In Singapore, payroll is more than just salaries- it’s about aligning with the country’s CPF system, where every payslip directly funds retirement, housing, and healthcare. Welcome to Stop 70 of my Global Payroll Marathon- 100+ countries, posted every Monday & Tuesday at 11 AM local time of the featured country! This week we arrive in Singapore, where payroll combines low personal income tax rates, a highly structured Central Provident Fund (CPF) system, and forward-looking regulations on flexible work and employee well-being. 2025 Upcoming Changes Progressive Wage Model (PWM) Expansion: More industries to be included, requiring sector-specific minimum pay and skill-based wage ladders. Digital Payslip Mandates: Wider rollout of mandatory electronic payslips across all sectors. Quick Insight: Singapore’s payroll system is globally unique- the CPF contributions (up to 37% combined employer-employee) cover retirement, healthcare, and housing, making payroll central to long-term employee welfare. PESTEL Snapshot – Singapore Payroll Complexity Political: Highly stable; pro-business labor regulations ensure predictability. Economic: Competitive wages, low income tax, and CPF-driven social protection keep payroll costs high but transparent. Social: Strong emphasis on retirement savings, housing, and healthcare through payroll-linked contributions. Technological: Payroll is fully digital; employers must integrate systems with CPF Board and IRAS for e-filing. Environmental: ESG-linked benefits such as public transport subsidies and green commuting support are emerging. Legal: Payroll governed by the Employment Act, Income Tax Act, and CPF Act, with strict penalties for late contributions. Your Turn: If you’ve managed payroll in Singapore, what’s been more challenging- CPF compliance or adapting to the Progressive Wage Model?
