Qn: Hi KC! First question, can you explain to us in more detail, what exactly a talent consultant does?

KC: Hi! So a talent consultants, or TA for short, helps developers in their entire process from when they sign up, until they get hired, and oftentimes beyond that as well. From the moment you sign up on the platform, we’ll be there with you to help you build up a strong profile. From there, we will guide you on how to perform during interviews, to ensure you’ll ace it on the actual day, and walk you through the various offers you’ll receive. It’s important to understand a company, and to weigh your options, and we’ll tell you exactly how to do that.

Qn: Why is it necessary for budding developers to have a talent consultants?

KC: We understand that developers are extremely busy people, pushing codes on a day to day basis. So looking out for new jobs that would be suitable is rather difficult and possibly too time consuming for them.

As experts in the recruitment field, we know how to curate and package your profile in a way that will make you a prospective candidate for any company.

Think of talent consultants as your own personal cheerleader, that you can talk to at any point of time when you need any help and we really mean it! Any help at all; including understanding Singapore Market, learning about the market standards here, etc etc. 

Qn: You mention that TAs stick with candidates until after they secure a job, are there any candidates that turn into lifelong friends? 

KC: Yes, I think friendship blossoms very naturally from the moment some candidates arrive at Changi Airport, ready to take on a job in Singapore. Witnessing this moment as a talent consultants, makes you feel like you’ve significantly changed someone’s life, for the better. It’s incredibly fulfilling, the process of knowing someone from the moment they sign up, to the moment they start their first day of work.
