Jobseekers can look forward to an estimated
300 job vacancies at a start-up career fair on Tuesday.
Organised by Startup Jobs Asia and the National
University of Singapore (NUS) Entrepreneurship Society, the Startup
Career and Internship Fair 2017 will be held at the Shaw Foundation
Alumni House from noon to 7pm.
Mr Ben Chew, 42, founder of Startup Jobs Asia, told The
New Paper that while start-ups may have their own offline
recruitment drives, having more than 20 start-ups at one venue will
attract a lot more jobseekers.
"They will get a glimpse of all the different offerings
the start-ups have at one shot, whether it is fintech, e-commerce
or travel," he said.
The organisers expect 40 to 50 start-ups, such as
Honest Bee, KKday, PolicyPal and 99.co, to be at the fair.
Miss Jasmine Liao, 23, marketing and communications
manager of Spare Parts 3D, a 3D printing company, said: "NUS is a
sufficient talent pool for young start-up players in a wide variety
of fields. It is a win-win fair worth paying attention to."
One of the companies that will be setting up a booth is
local start-up Igloohome, which develops smart locks and now has
clients in the US, Japan, Australia and Malaysia.
The company, which turns two this July, has two
vacancies for full-timers with mid-range experience in hardware
engineering and front-end development to help with its app.
Ms Juliana Lim, head of talent networking at
SGInnovate, which helped reach out to its start-ups to participate
in the fair, said: "We want to be supporting deep tech start-ups
and ambitious talent to make this happen - many of whom would be
exploring possibilities at Startup Jobs Asia."
The public can register for free at www.startupjobs.asia/startupcareerfair before
noon on Tuesday.
The first 200 registrants will get to network with the
start-ups.
