Experience in leading HR projects and initiatives and you will be located in Singapore. Behavioural fit: Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles: Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us. Humility: There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers. Data driven: We are a data rich business with ~15,000 small customers. Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise - so it’s critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives. Can have tough conversations in a positive way: It’s not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise. Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast-moving business where people care about their work. People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships. Empathy: Empathy allows us to understand the perspectives and emotions of others, creating a supportive and inclusive environment. It helps build strong relationships with colleagues, interns, and candidates by genuinely listening and responding to their needs. Empathy fosters a sense of belonging, making it easier to support others during challenging times and ensuring a positive candidate and employee experience. Autonomy: Being autonomous means taking initiative and managing responsibilities with minimal supervision. In our fast-paced environment, it’s essential for team members to be self-driven, capable of problem-solving, and confident in making decisions. Autonomy allows for greater efficiency in projects, enabling individuals to tackle tasks head-on and adapt to changing needs without waiting for guidance. Attention to Detail: Precision is key in our work, especially when it comes to managing recruitment, data, and processes. A strong attention to detail ensures accuracy in every task, from handling candidate information to communicating with stakeholders.
