Either you resign voluntarily or get the sacking.

Most if not all will volunteer to resign.

It is a mix of perm and temp roles.

However, most newbies will be offered temp contract first.

If they like you, then they will offer perm contract.

Ah I see. Do u know if they will confirm convert you to perm after the temp contract? Or again 50-50, there’s always a chance they won’t renew your contract etc? Asking this as deep down I am looking for perm full time job though… and I have another option/offer at hand at the moment.

You are not positive.
Better go elsewhere.

Hi folks, just wondering if someone shortened the recruitment process because you know someone who knows the hiring manager? And that someone helped link up you and the hiring manager.

Is it common for HR/Hiring manager to ghost you after submitting G50?

I don’t think necessarily shorted the recruitment process, but perhaps your application will be ‘on top’/‘highly considered’ as compared to others? Don’t think that networking will get you out of the usual recruitment process though, but it will definitely increase your chances of proceeding to next round/hired.

Hello there,

I applied to the HR department and went for an interview + written test in end feb. Anyone has experience of how long the hiring process would be for the HR dpt itself? TIA!

the process is still the same regardless of whether you know the hiring manager or not. all recruitments are centrally controlled by HR, so the hiring will still adhere to the process.

but of course, after going through the candidates and interviews, the hiring manager can still choose you. but dont think anything else is shortened other than the final decision.

Ah silly me, should have known better that this is the public service and MINDEF at that.
