A TYPICAL DAY
My day starts at ‎8:00 am but I am usually in by ‎7:45 am so that I can get
myself set up for the day. Between ‎8:00 and ‎8:30, it can be quite busy, with
queries from the academic staff, as they will come to P&C before their lessons
start. They may also come during their lunch, and after lessons finish at
‎3:30. Recruitment time is the busiest, most exciting and challenging time of
the year, as I need to liaise with prospective teachers from all over the
world. Coordinating their arrival makes the recruitment process challenging.
As languages and cultures are different, sometimes it can be demanding, as
they need support with all the steps and documents needed for their onboarding
process, as per Singapore regulatory rules. At lunch time, since I didn't
bring any lunch today, the team eats in the cafeteria. After lunch, I work on
the registration and arrangements for some teachers that are going to an
overseas IBDP and IB PYP course. During international recruitment, time zones
play a part, so I have to plan my day accordingly, and there are some things
that are best done at the end of the day or late evening. I also take this
time to answer emails and continue with paperwork as well as other outstanding
matters.

QUALIFICATIONS AND SKILLS
* A relevant degree in Business Management or Human Resource Management
* At least ‎3-‎5 years of relevant HR experience in expatriate management or analytics
* Experience in an international school environment is preferred
