Women in Technology — How we roll at

Oneconnect

Recruitment is not really for the fainthearted. People often say you have to wear your hair on your teeth to survive this industry, you have to be born with a flame, a desire and a passion, it’s more of a higher calling rather than just a job or career and that is what our foundation at Oneconnect is fostered on.

Starting our recruitment journey just over eight years ago, in one of the fastest growing industries globally, we faced many challenges. How was Oneconnect any different to the countless recruitment agencies that provided day-to-day staffing services? Exactly how are we going to make a difference in this niche skill industry?

We chose to embrace the power we have to tackle failed recruitment trends to improve our outcomes. It was quite a rude awakening. The first step was to teach the skills that the industry urgently needed, and so our skills academy was born. Not only did we create niche skills in the market, we also created employment opportunities by training and empowering over 100 interns over the years through various programmes.

We also enhanced our recruitment process by understanding the business needs of our clients. We became specialists in our field.

We created and improved job descriptions, which simplified and streamlined the process along with assessments to eradicate hiring glitches, such as inadequate job descriptions. Choosing quality over quantity, we tailored the candidate experience — communicate clearly and succinctly, became our motto.

Our journey over years has moulded and shaped us into a leading tech recruitment house led by a team of pragmatic, persistent and tenacious women who are people-focused, with high emotional intelligence, empathy and creativity. So if you are looking for a recruitment experience with a special touch, reach out to our team of executors.

At Oneconnect we believe in gender equality. Women are the backbone of our organisation, and we will continue to support women’s empowerment as we continue to fly the flag high.
