We are looking for a proactive and execution-focused Talent Acquisition Specialist to lead recruitment across our production and non-production functions. Based in Singapore, this role plays a key part in ensuring our workforce scales effectively with business needs-supporting hiring across operations, engineer, supply chain, corporate functions, and more.
You'll own end-to-end hiring, collaborate with business stakeholders, drive early talent engagement through campus partnerships, and contribute to data-informed process improvements. This is a high-impact, hands-on role suited for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and enjoys balancing execution with operational refinement.
Key Responsibilities
1. Full-Cycle Recruitment for All Functions
Manage end-to-end hiring across shopfloor (e.g. technicians, operators, engineers) and corporate teams (e.g. supply chain, R&D, HR, finance).
Partner with hiring managers to scope roles, define competencies, and develop interview plans.
Draft and post job ads on appropriate Singapore platforms.
Proactively source and pipeline talent via LinkedIn, job portals, networks, and referrals.
Conduct CV screening, pre-screen interviews, and coordinate interviews.
Support offer preparation, approvals, negotiations, and pre-onboarding touchpoints.
2. Campus Hiring & Early Talent Engagement
Develop and manage partnerships with local ITEs and polytechnics to support campus hiring and internship pipelines for production and technical roles.
Represent the company at career fairs, industry sharing sessions, and student networking events.
Coordinate internship programmes, including internship conversion tracking and post-internship reviews with hiring managers.
Work closely with the L&D to align onboarding and development for early-career hires.
3. Stakeholder Collaboration & Employer Branding
Act as a trusted advisor to hiring managers on market insights, recruitment best practices, and local talent trends.
Partner with People Operations on headcount tracking, contract generation, and onboarding alignment.
Collaborate with the L&D and HRBP teams on talent reviews and workforce planning.
Support basic employer branding efforts (e.g., job ad consistency, LinkedIn content, career fairs, partnerships with educational institutions).
4. Talent Acquisition Analytics
Track and report key TA metrics including:
Time-to-hire
Source of hire
Interview-to-offer ratios
Early attrition / bad hire indicators
Hiring funnel drop-offs
Identify patterns and root causes of hiring delays or quality mismatches.
Provide insights and recommendations to improve hiring efficiency, decision-making, and candidate experience.
Use Workday reporting features and Excel to create dashboards and track progress over time.
5. Process Improvement & ATS Utilization
Partner with Learning & Talent Development to build scalable recruitment processes and playbooks.
Maintain structured and compliant hiring workflows within Workday.
Support hiring manager capability building (e.g., interview training, calibration).
Share templates, guides, and best practices to drive hiring consistency.
Qualifications & Experience
4-6 years of hands-on recruitment experience in Singapore, ideally covering both high-volume and specialist roles.
Familiarity with hiring in manufacturing, engineering, or industrial sectors preferred.
Strong experience with sourcing, stakeholder management, and candidate assessment.
Experience managing internship or campus hiring programmes is a plus.
Data-literate, with the ability to extract insights and communicate trends using spreadsheets or Workday reports.
Experience with Workday (Recruiting module) is an added advantage.
Deep understanding of Singapore's local labor market, MOM regulations, and fair hiring practices.
Able to operate independently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
You'll Thrive in This Role If You Are:
Detail-oriented and delivery-focused, with a strong sense of urgency.

A natural relationship builder who can work with diverse stakeholders-from engineers to executives.
Comfortable balancing day-to-day execution with process thinking.
