Overview

Through proprietary software and AI, along with a focus on customer delight, Sleek makes the back-office easy for micro SMEs.

We give Entrepreneurs time back to focus on what they love doing - growing their business and being with customers. With a surging number of Entrepreneurs globally, we are innovating in a highly lucrative space.

We operate 3 business segments:

1. Corporate Secretary: Automating the company incorporation, secretarial, filing, Nominee Director, mailroom and immigration processes via custom online robots and SleekSign. We are the market leaders in Singapore with ~5% market share of all new business incorporations

We have recently raised Series B financing off the back of >70% compound annual growth in Revenue over the last 5 years. Sleek has been recognised by The Financial Times, The Straits Times, Forbes and LinkedIn as one of the fastest growing companies in Asia.

Backed by world-class investors, we are on track to be one of the few cash flow positive, tech-enabled unicorns based out of Singapore.

We are looking for a Head of Talent Acquisition that is excited about the below Mission and Outcomes.

Mission: To inspire and develop the Talent Acquisition team so that Sleek can source, interview and easily/quickly close great talent in every department and in every market that we operate in.

Outcomes:

Bring in A Players quickly and easily

• Deliver high quality hires within agreed SLAs
• Ensure there is good pipeline depth in critical roles/ larger departments

ATS hygiene & data accuracy

• Ensure high quality and consistency in JDs and offer letters
• Ensure reporting data is reliable and easy to access
• Ensure templates are updated and outdated versions are archived

Hiring process refinement

• Uncover weaknesses in our hiring process and work with requisite stakeholders to resolve
• Ensure HMs are “fit to hire” (aware of the process and interview techniques)

To do this, you will have

1. Minimum 6 years TA experience overall
2. Minimum 3 years in a TA management / leadership position
3. Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across diverse teams

The role is based in Singapore.

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.

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.

The successful candidate will participate in the below interview stages. We anticipate the process to last no more than 3 weeks from start to finish.

Whether the interviews are held over video call or in person will depend on your location and the role.

Case study

A ~60 minute chat, where they will give you some real-life challenges that this role faces, and will ask for your approach to solving them.

Reference interviews

2x ~15 minute calls with previous work colleagues and managers

Final Round

A ~60 minute chat, where they’ll discuss your last 1-2 roles to understand your experience in more detail.
