Hi, We would like to clarify on the point made that our Associate Consultants are performing "free labor" as suggested in the review. This is a frivolous claim because firstly, our Associate Consultants are paid on per hour basis and the company makes full Employer’s CPF contributions according to the prevailing CPF Act and all other applicable and mandatory statutory contributions. Secondly, it is also the company's practice to brief all potential candidates on the responsibilities of the Associate Consultant during the interview prior to starting work. Thirdly, a Mentor (usually a Senior Consultant in the company) is then assigned to each Associate Consultant to teach them the ropes of the business. We acknowledge the fact that different individuals will have different learning capacities and we endeavour to do our best to equip our consultants with soft skills necessary to manoeuvre on the job. If you would like to share more about your experiences with us, please contact me by emailing feedback@searchasia.com.sg so that we can set up an appropriate time to talk. Thank you!
