Singapore office for RSP Group
Announcement posted by RSP Global 04 May 2004
Local client demands for high level local recruitment brokerage services in Singapore behind move
Focus on security solutions, wireless telecoms and project management specialists
Requests from two clients in Australia for RSP Group to provide recruitment brokerage services in Singapore are behind RSPs decision to open an office there in July, 04.
Matt Lodge, CEO and chairman of RSP Group, said the new office had contracts to immediately place 40 permanent mid to senior executives across management, sales and tech development.
The new office will be headed by RSP Group director, Crispin Baynes, until handover to a Singapore country manager within three months. The new office is expected to generate
$3 million in permanent billings within the first 12 months.
According to Matt Lodge the move is an endorsement of the value-add recruitment broker business model that produces higher calibre candidates, faster and more efficiently than traditional methods.
The Singapore office will leverage RSPs existing recruitment competences and expand our broker partner base which features strong databases of specialised ICT people.
The RSP Group Singapore office will become a hub for the Region and provide cross frontier recruitment opportunities for employers and candidates.
He said job opportunities were growing in security, wireless technology, and project management.
We are seeing stronger demand for technical sales people in Australia and Singapore. This is expected to increase further over the next 12 months, he said.
RSP Group has offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as well as 45 broker partners, and 600 contract staff placed with clients throughout Australia.

About recruitment brokerage
Recruitment Broker: Establishes a network of supplying agents, signs them to a common contract then goes to market offering employer clients access to multiple candidate databases. A recruitment broker continually seeks to develop a network of agents, especially those in specialist areas, and in doing so increases the scope to identify high quality candidates. A broker is not the sole supplier to an employer client. They complement existing preferred suppliers. Brokers offer complete transparency across employment markets. Brokers encourage open dialogue and are seen as an independent filter in the employment market.
For candidates, a recruitment broker provides:
Wider access to the career marketplace
Better chances of acquiring good career opportunities
Higher exposure to available quality jobs
Master Vendor/Managing Agent: A single recruitment supplier that secures client business exclusively on the understanding that a small group of secondary suppliers will be used if the master vendor cannot fill requirements. The supplier is usually reluctant to do this as there are financial incentives to keep all business to themselves. Communication is not open and the client-employer does not benefit from instant access to multiple candidate databases.
