This is a hybrid role, ideal for a professional who has transitioned from Talent Acquisition into a broader HR function and is looking to make a meaningful impact in a growing, entrepreneurial environment.

You will lead both strategic and operational HR and TA efforts, supporting the growth of a future‑ready workforce while helping to build Akkodis’ identity as an employer of choice in Singapore.

• Maintain a robust pipeline of candidates to support future workforce needs.
• Work closely with the global TA/Employer Branding team to develop and localize Akkodis’ B2C employer branding strategy in Singapore, including managing social media presence, job campaigns, and local branding activities.

HR Business Partnering and Operations

• Act as the HR lead for Akkodis Singapore, supporting both internal staff and consultants.
• Collaborate with global HR teams to localize and implement frameworks such as career paths, performance reviews, and L&D plans.
• Lead performance management cycles and provide guidance to team leads and tech experts.
• Develop and implement HR operations, systems, and compliance policies tailored to the local context.

Key Requirements

• 5–10 years of HR and TA experience, ideally with a background in both in‑house and agency recruitment.
• Strong recruitment skills with a focus on technology and engineering roles.
• Hands‑on experience with applicant tracking systems (ATS) and HRIS tools.
• Excellent knowledge of Singapore labor laws and HR compliance requirements.
• Proficiency in using local job platforms (e.g., JobStreet, MyCareersFuture, LinkedIn).
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and external vendors effectively.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and engage.
• Data‑driven mindset with the ability to analyze recruitment metrics and HR trends.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast‑paced, and lean environment.
• Prior exposure to employer branding initiatives, particularly in collaboration with global teams, is a strong advantage.
