The process never reached an interview. Documents were requested via a Sunday night email sent after 10pm, with a deadline of the following morning. The list included school transcripts from a candidate who left school nearly three decades ago, and payslips before any interview had taken place.
No stated purpose for the salary data collection. No mention of data retention. This is not standard practice and sits uncomfortably with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
Sunday calls, last-minute deadlines, and requests for personal financial information before any conversation. For a company of this profile, the process was genuinely surprising. Candidates should go in with eyes open.
