from interview with recruit agencies in Singapore

Japanese female employees than real Japanese.
(a great sensitivity to tea serving, and arrangements ).
2. Japanese companies request for personnel thriving
on adversity, in negotiation and trouble with local
employees and customers.
(Familiar with Singaporeans’ ordinary behavior characteristics)
3. Understanding in culture of the company
concerned, and in corporate culture are important
4. Foreign-affiliated companies also need language
proficiency for negotiation with Japanese-owned
companies.
* Demand for call centers and customer service

Concluding and remarks :
the role of recruitment agencies in Singapore
• high demand of Japanese women in Japanese companies
well attitude for Japanese companies
arrangement ability of Japanese women
• high job turnover in Singapore
both Singaporean and Japanese
(Japanese women tend to go back Japan till 35 yrs old)
• Personnel outsourcing
major Japanese-owned firms :
Japanese companies depend screening on recruit agencies
Small and medium-sized enterprises :
with few applicants even for advertised job in the
newspaper, and without HR specialist screening personnel, also
have to depend on recruit agencies
