Quite disappointed since I really was quite interested in the job scope. Sigh. Checked and the job opening is still there.

Any advice would be appreciated, many thanks.
If your degree or diploma is not recognised by SG, this might happen. Another reason could be the respond is overwhelming, and they kept only the top group. For example, a job opening has 400 responds. HR will filter away 350, and push the selected 50 to the department hiring. Advice is move on, and apply another job. It is a hit and miss kind of situation and you will rarely know their thought process. At least they did not waste your time and gave you a reply in 4 days. Who knows, you might find a better job with a good culture. Good luck to your job hunt.
