The #inhouse job marketplace is shifting in Singapore, and more and more in-house lawyers face pressure on hiring, retention, and recruitment. The Association of Corporate Counsel Singapore Chapter hosted a timely, discrete, and candid panel with five recruiters with different specialties (tech, retained only, Chinese MNCs, PE, alternative legal service providers, SMCs) to share their insights into the market and answered tough questions about shifting scopes, earning trust, conflicts of interest, and current market salaries and rates. Like: What are some of the biggest mistakes candidates make to ruin their reputation? How important is it to use LinkedIn and build a reputation? What bad practices do some recruiters do? How to pick a good recruiter? Do you need to answer the question of what your current salary is when going for a new role? When should a hiring manager use a retained search versus a contingent search? And many others! Big thanks to Eng Chang (EC), Jessica Deery, Jonathan M., Olivia Seet, and Paulin Tan. We had a packed house and lively interaction. Please stay tuned for more great events from the Association of Corporate Counsel Asia as we drive more relevant and impactful programming. #ACCSG #GlobalPerspectives #InhouseCommunity #Recruitment #careergrowh #realtalk #inhousecounsel #lawyers #legal #hiring #singapore
