Grow’s Managing Director for Southeast Asia also led the internal Talent Acquisition team at Agoda and successfully hired 1000+ people/year across 30+ countries.
Executive-level recruitment and GTM hiring were a key focus as well as driving business growth through strategic initiatives in recruitment, employer branding, and process optimization.
Recruitment was not centralised
All departments had their own recruitment teams reporting directly to them. This created inconsistencies in terms of process and hindered scalability.
Local leadership hiring
Faced challenges in local leadership hiring across various territories, struggling to meet the high standards set for talent acquisition due to regional discrepancies and talent availability.
Centralisation and scalability
Enhanced and scaled existing and new processes, including applications, sourcing, scheduling, and selection procedures, ensuring greater efficiency and streamlined operations.
Pooled approach for similar roles across the org
Implemented a pooled hiring approach for similar roles across the organization, optimizing resource allocation and streamlining the recruitment process to improve efficiency and consistency.
