Areas for Improvement for this company.
1. Probation Period Compliance
According to UU Ketenagakerjaan (Indonesian Labor Law), for PKWTT (Perjanjian Kerja Waktu Tidak Tertentu / Permanent Employment Agreement), the probation period is legally limited to a maximum of 3 months. However, this company has implemented a 6-month probation period, which is not in compliance with Indonesian labor regulations. It is important to adjust the probation period to meet legal standards and ensure fairness for employees.
2. Interview Process & Hiring Manager’s Communication
The hiring manager, Fujiki-san, has limited English proficiency, making communication challenging. Additionally, during the interview, he did not ask in-depth technical questions related to the role of a Career Advisor, such as essential recruitment strategies, client management, and market insights. Given that the company specializes in headhunting and Employer of Record (EOR) services, it would be beneficial for the hiring manager to focus on evaluating the necessary recruitment skills and strategies for fulfilling client needs.
3. Candidate Experience & Recruitment Process
• Candidate Hospitality: When I arrived for an offline interview, offering a bottle of water would have been a basic yet thoughtful gesture. In professional settings, it is common practice to provide this courtesy to guests attending meetings.
• Candidate Communication & Rejection Transparency: Before reposting the job opening on LinkedIn, it is important to notify all rejected candidates first. As a candidate, it feels disheartening to see the position reposted without any prior update on the application status. Informing unsuccessful candidates in a timely manner ensures transparency and professionalism.
• Interview Structure & Depth: The interview process lacked structure and did not sufficiently explore the candidate’s strategies and professional skills. A structured behavioral interview approach would help assess candidates more effectively. In my case, the interview did not delve deeply into my expertise or strategies, and my profile summary did not seem to be properly analyzed. If my summary was unclear, further discussion should have been initiated to gain a better understanding, rather than overlooking key aspects of my experience.
