Why is there a lack of females running recruitment firms and particularly within an industry such as construction and engineering? Hear how this locally born Singaporean went against the odds and runs a profitable recruitment firm in Singapore.
Meet Samantha Soh, Regional Manager for Archer Recruitment, Asia Pacific. Samantha is a force to be reckoned with and a bit of an anomaly considering she’s probably one of the only females at her level recruiting within a male-dominated sector such as construction. With her go-getting personality, it’s no surprise that she’s been able to build an empire to be proud of. Samantha tirelessly supports gender inequality within the construction industry by frequently running roundtable events to promote careers for females within the construction field as well as actively sharing best practices and offering strategic advice. Hear what she has to stay by tuning in to this episode at Talent Talk Asia.
