HR and people

148 applicants, screened against the real must-haves

Writing a decent JD eats a morning, and once it's live the applications pile up, screening 148 CVs against the actual must-haves quietly becomes skimming the first 30 and hoping.

Every CV read, not just the top of the pile. The HR manager sets three must-haves; the agent screens all 148 against them.

@Glimmer the Ops Admin Executive posting closed last night, 148 applications across MyCareersFuture and JobStreet sitting in the hiring inbox. Screen them against the must-haves: 2+ years on Xero or similar, solid Excel/Sheets, can start within a month. I don't have three days for this.

GlimmerBotTue, 9:14 AM

Screened all 148. 11 meet all three must-haves; the biggest cut was accounting software, 89 of the 137 screened out had no Xero/QuickBooks experience at all. Top of the shortlist:

Tan H.M.4 yrs2 wksAlso ran payroll on Talenox
Nur Syafiqah3 yrs1 mthCurrent role is 80% this JD
Dinesh K.2 yrsImmediateContract ending, can start Mon
Chloe Ng2 yrs1 mthXero certified, lighter on Sheets

One honest flag: 2 of the 11 claim Xero only in the cover letter, not the CV, I've kept them in but marked them "verify at interview" rather than assuming.

Interview invite, ready to send
Hi XXXXXX, thanks for applying for our Ops Admin Executive role. We'd like to invite you to a 45-min interview at our office, could you share two slots that work next week?, Adeline, HR

Send it to the top 5. Last round I honestly only read about a third of the pile 😅

HR and people

Leave questions answered with the handbook open

"How many days childcare leave do I have?" and "can I encash my AL?" land in HR's chat all day, each one means digging out the handbook, and the contractual ones are risky to answer from memory.

Cited, not guessed. Routine questions get handbook answers with the section number; the contractual one gets escalated, not improvised.

@Glimmer two more while I'm mid-payroll: Aisyah's asking how many days childcare leave she has left, and Marcus Lim wants to encash 5 days of AL this month. What does the handbook actually say?

GlimmerBotThu, 3:15 PM

Aisyah: her younger child is 5 and a Singapore citizen, so she gets 6 days government-paid childcare leave this year (Handbook §4.3, which mirrors the MOM provision). Talenox shows 2 used, 4 remaining.

Reply to Aisyah, ready to send
Hi Aisyah! You have 4 of 6 days childcare leave left for the year (Handbook §4.3). Just apply in Talenox as usual and tag your manager 🙂

Marcus: the handbook (§4.1) says AL isn't encashable during employment, only paid out on the last day of service. But Marcus is on the 2019 contract template, which handles carry-over differently, so this is a contractual call. I'm not answering him directly, flagging it to you with both clauses side by side.

Send Aisyah's, I'll take Marcus. Right call not to wing that one 🙏

Work-pass radar: renewals and quota before they bite

EP and S Pass expiries sneak up between payroll runs, and nobody checks quota headroom until after the offer letter is drafted, then it's a scramble against MOM timelines.

The Monday radar. The agent pre-checks passes, quota and filing season; the human does the actual submitting to MOM.

@Glimmer quarterly work-pass check please, anything expiring in the next 90 days? And the boss wants to hire one more Work Permit tech: do we even have quota room?

GlimmerBotMon, 9:11 AM

Radar for the next 90 days:

ItemDateStatus
EP renewal, Nguyen T.H.14 SepDocs prepped, ready to file
S Pass renewal, Arun P.2 Octwindow opens 4 Aug
New WP hire, quotaHeadroom for 1, see below
IR8A seasonMarNothing due; will prep from Talenox in Feb

Quota: with 12 full-time locals on CPF, the services-sector 35% ceiling works out to 6 quota-counted foreign workers. You're at 5, 4 WP plus Arun's S Pass, so one more WP fits. Caveat: that's based on May's CPF submission; June hasn't posted yet, so re-verify in WP Online before the offer goes out. I've prepped the EP renewal documents but the filing itself is yours, I don't submit anything to MOM.

Bernice de SouzaMon, 9:15 AM

Perfect. I'll file the EP renewal Thursday and check WP Online before we commit. Last year we caught the S Pass expiry with 3 weeks to spare 😅

Questions owners ask

Straight answers, before you book a call

Can staff ask it about their leave?

Yes, if they are in the chat group you set up for it. Glimmer answers from your handbook and names the section it used. A question that depends on someone's contract comes to HR.

Will it turn candidates down on its own?

No. It sorts the pile against the must-haves you set and shows you why. You decide who gets an interview, and you approve every message to a candidate.

Staff records are private. Who can see them?

Only the people you choose. Each team gets its own Glimmer, with a list of what it can see. If someone is not in the HR chat group, they cannot ask HR's Glimmer anything.

What about our data?

Your data stays yours. Glimmer runs in your own cloud account, or on a private server we set up for you. We write down exactly where your data goes before we start. What we build for you belongs to you.

What does it cost, and can a grant pay part?

We price it after a call about your work, because the cost depends on the size of the build. Most first builds qualify for a Singapore grant, and we help you apply. Compare the grants.

Can I try it before we commit to a build?

Yes. Our leadership workshop puts an AI agent in your hands for an afternoon, with no coding. Seats start from S$779. If you then build with us, your company gets S$500 off its first build.
