5 years with MOE as a teacher, left with slightly over 3k, was a diploma holder and managed to get my degree in arts while still working as a teacher.
Left (and never looked back) and joined SAF (DXO) as a Training and Development Executive (HR- related). 1 year of experience and fetching $4k monthly (gross, excluding bonuses)
To be brutally honest, I have no HR experience or whatsoever except for training and development experience with SAF. I have friends (and connections) in local MNCs who hooked me up with a job titled, Sourcer, Global Talent Acquisition.
I am just curious, would they match my pay or do I have to start anew? I understand that all my previous experiences will not be taken into consideration right?
I am actually looking at companies with the possibilities of overseas posting as Hubb and I recently applied for Canadian PR (if not I really wouldn't wan to leave my job with SAF.)
Any advice? How should I negotiate my pay? Can I likely fetch more than what I am currently paid? |
You mention "local MNC", I assume this just means it's a local large company? I don't think there is any local company that qualify as MNC now unless you mean it in a loose sense of having offices outside Singapore.
It really depends on what is the role of this new job. A real Talent Acquisition specialist that covers globally in a MNC can probably command salary in the range of 15k – 25k, but seeing your basic level of work experience and the fact a friend can just hook you up randomly for the job like that, my guess is it is just a fake title for an in-house generic recruiter.
For an internal general recruiter 3-4k is quite the average, so I guess you can try putting down 4k as your expected and indicate your willingness to negotiate. Set 3.5k as your bottom line if they want to negotiate.
As for overseas posting to Canada you need to be realistic, a company is not going to make arrangements for an overseas assignment for this kind of entry level position without special skill set. If you really need to relocate, most likely they will ask you to resign first then try applying for another job in the overseas subsidiary.
Anyway I don’t think it will work in this case because Canada has strict employment laws that companies need to demonstrate talent scarcity before they can hire a foreigner. Not going to happen for your sort of level.
