some job agency don't treat you as human being
-
I was told by this job agency(Comtel Solutions Pte Ltd) to have an interview with Credit Suisse Bank this morning on 11:00 AM, at this address 51 Changi Business Park Central 2, 4th Floor, The Signature. When I came there lots of guys are waiting, so I waited there also, but lots of us waited and waited, some of them even for around 4 hours, really crazy. Finally for me it's around 3.5 hours, I didn't want to wait again, so tell them I should leave, they told me would arrange me soon, but still need wait around 20 minutes, I gave up. So now just write that down to let more guys know about it. this is the address about the company, be careful about it: Comtel Solutions Pte Ltd. 5 Shenton Way,# 12-10 UIC Building Singapore 068808 DID: +65.6435.0326

So it was the bank that made you wait.
-
Yah....why arent you complaining about the bank?
Just because its a bank?
-
no, i don't think so, the job agency should tell me to go there later, such as 2:00 PM in the afternoon, bank can't control the interview time. and job agnecy shouldn't call so lots of people there. this time there're more than 200 people.

Allo! You first time ever attend interview arh?This is your job agency fault?
FYI, the bank HR dept should be the people that dictate the interview time. Not your agency.
You really think all bank execs are soo free to cater to job agency timing? Who do you think is paying who for a successful recruit?
-
You don't dare complaint against the bank HR right? So take the next guy in line to put in the firing range.

Sigh......this is the culture for sgforums.
Some people that dont qualify as humans posing as aggrieved innocents.

this is my second time by a job agency, last time it's very pleasant, when I arrived the end customer's company, just waited for 5 minutes, then interviewed by three different people, and they asked me lots of professional questions, although I failed at that round, but respected them.

For a HR generalist point of view.That 1st job you went to. Only waited 5 minutes and interviewed by 3 very free person.
And you didnt get the job.
Goes to show.........you really couldnt make it even with them.........kinda......shows you really no experience.
Credit suissee such a big company, interviewing so many people and you think its the job agency fault?
I would suggest the job agency drop you. No point helping you anymore. Wasting their time.
-
Then I suggest you don't go to private recruitment agency to look for Job, go to government one such as CDC/WDA or e2i (check google for more info).
And private recruitment agency they earn commission from you after you get the job which they take $50 to $100 from your pay for 3 months.
They earn $$$ from you and don’t give you good service so why you still want to look for private recruitment agency? They are like blood suckers once they suck on you, you will keep letting them sucking you.

Viciouskitty74, in my view, I felt that your comments are uncalled for. To wait up to 3.5 hours reflects insincerity of the company in their recruitment. Put yourself in their shoes. Your comments stated “For a HR generalist point of view”, could have indicated that you are a HR personnel and if that is true, I doubt your professionalism and efficiency.
Even if you are not a HR administrator, your comments reflected that your mentality is immature, irresponsible, uncaring, inconsiderate and snobbish.
Indeed, the recruiter and the client are in the wrong to make the candidates wait without any explanation. Not only did this incident echoed the lapse in the integrity of the bank but too amplified that the recruitment agency should buckle up on their customer service standards.
No matter what circumstances the recruitment agency or the client had encounter on that very day, they could had made arrangements to inform all affected parties and to be prudent in making sure that the candidates’ trip to the said interview session were not a waste of time.
In view of the current global economical situation and the shortfall of jobs availability, employers should show more compassion to their potential employees. I believe the term is Corporate Social Responsibility and every employee is part of the assets to the company, in another way the human capital or investments.
By commenting “I would suggest the job agency drop you. No point helping you anymore. Wasting their time.” suggested that you have no idea how an individual would felt, going jobless for months or being retrenched is disastrous to many as they could be saddled with loans to pay and debts to settle, not to mention the high living standards that Singapore has become.
In short, your comments reflected poorly on you as an individual. I could have imagined that you are a spoilt brat who has a silver spoon fed by your parents. Maybe I could have been wrong but the sediments felt by many in the forum as well as the press reflects the voice of mine I suppose. Viciouskitty74, you should be ashamed of yourself, maybe your upbringing could be a problem.

Maybe Viciouskitty74 is just a small girl. Dun come here to talk as if u know a lot of things. U dunno a single shit about the working world. So u better go back to drink milk.
-
I agree that viciouskitty's remarks are uncalled for.... if there's the professionalism of Credit Suize, i.e. being so unorganized, what can be said about their investments and staff....this company we can as well drop. Thier HR is unexperienced and cannot even handle time-management for recruitment, they should be sacked.

This is reported in today Shin Min Daily News (chinese language newspaper) on page 2.

vk74 small girl??? hahaha. no know anything best no talk. dont make urself look stupid. ty. -
i dont understand, what vk said is right, and she got lambasted...you guys got any real job experience??
job agency take directions from HR as to what time to come, and besides, some HR dept do engage more than one agency for recruitment
there could be miscalculations in the timing, especially when its back office of CS in Changi and they would want to employ large number of poeple
and yeap, even some HR personnel told me the same thing as vk, they are very busy in screening potential employees so you got to do something that make them sit up and notice, especially during your interview and in your resume..people write so much garbage in their resumes even the managers dont bother to read through as they got busy schedule

Merrill Lynch is well known for their wealth management services but look at their internal financial management
basically by your reasoning you can drop every FIs from your list

Sorry,just settled in Thailand.
Still not used to the keyboards here in Thai Script.Still does not know how to change the MSN language to English.
And wow.
Its interesting to see people creating new nicks just to scold. Plenty of heroes as always.
If immature, then never mind lor. Not as if I have to employ or interview anyone on this forum. If I do......I know what kind to avoid lor.

-

You typing to who? -
I don't see anythign wrong with the job agency. If anything, it's the bank's system of interviews you should be complaining about.

If there are really so many people for interviews, then CS should schedule them to come in different days.
Even ASTAR or SPF does better, duh...
I believe there are more than 2-3 interviewers, thus if some interviewers cannot make it on time or day, someone else in management position can take over to help interview.
A better way for this CS to do recruiting is schedule the same way as the MORE experienced companies:
1. Have 15min-20min time for first interviews and with 5min in between for interviewers to complete their assessment forms
2. Schedule only enough interviewees to come on the SAME day, the rest should be scheduled at different days, look at SPF, many companies do better, CS's HR is inexperienced
3. Email in advance to interviewers on the dates of interviews and liase with them their time available.
If CS's HR cannot even do such a simple task, I dont know what they are doing man.

Aiyah.....read read already can tell lah.
TS don't blame CS.
TS blame job agency.
What does that tells you?
