Recruiter cum Admissions & Industry Partnerships Manager

About the Role This is a 2-in-1 role combining two functions Red Alpha (staffing+ being the new business line) • Recruiter — sourcing, screening, and placing candidates for Red Alpha Staffing+ (Augment Staffing) client assignments. • Admissions & Industry Partnerships Manager — owning the end-to-end candidate pipeline for the Alpha Specialist Training Programme (ASTP) and related training initiatives, plus supporting industry and government-agency partnerships. The successful candidate will manage two connected pipelines — trainees moving through ASTP admissions, and experienced professionals placed directly with clients through Augment Staffing — while building the employer and industry relationships that keep both pipelines fed. Indicative time split: • Admissions & Candidate Pipeline (ASTP): ~40% • Recruitment & Client Placement (Augment Staffing): ~35% • Industry & Employer Partnerships: ~25% Key Responsibilities A. Recruitment & Client Placement (Augment Staffing) • Manage the full recruitment lifecycle for Augment Staffing assignments: candidate sourcing, screening, interviews, client coordination, offer management, and onboarding. • Source candidates directly via job portals, LinkedIn Recruiter, referrals, and passive outreach, particularly for senior and specialist profiles. • Match candidates to client requirements and manage the placement process through to deployment. B. Admissions & Candidate Pipeline (ASTP / Training Programmes) • Manage inbound inquiries across email, LinkedIn, website, and social channels, providing timely and accurate programme information. • Oversee application screening, track submissions, and maintain accurate records in the admissions database. • Monitor and manage the candidate funnel from inquiry through enrolment to job-placement readiness. • Coordinate admission assessments, technical tests, and interview scheduling; work with interview panels to review applicants and re-applicants, facilitating retests, re-interviews, or rejection outcomes. • Track trainee contract status and ensure timely completion of agreements. • Post and refresh job/programme listings on MyCareersFuture, LinkedIn, university portals, and other channels. C. Industry & Employer Partnerships • Build and maintain relationships with industry partners and government agency representatives. • Partner with the marketing team on campaigns to attract high-quality candidates into Red Alpha programmes. • Prepare shortlisted trainees and candidates for employer interviews through resume guidance, mock interviews, and coaching sessions. • Support candidates in improving communication, confidence, and presentation for hiring partners. • Provide structured feedback to candidates post-interview to improve employability outcomes. Requirements • 5+ years of relevant experience, with a genuine track record across both tracks — recruitment/talent placement and admissions or programme/candidate-pipeline management. This is a dual-track senior hire, not an entry point into either function. • Prior experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, admissions, or another people-facing pipeline-management role. • Comfortable interacting with industry partners and representatives from government agencies. • Experience supporting candidates with resumes, interview preparation, or career coaching is highly valued. • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build candidate confidence. • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. • Strong organisational and multitasking abilities; data-driven mindset with attention to detail in tracking pipelines. • Ability to work in a fast-paced, startup-like environment. • Background in cybersecurity, tech training, or workforce development is a plus. • Familiarity with the Singapore hiring ecosystem in the SI space and early-career talent pipelines.
