Payments is the word of the day

October 14th, 2008 in News

Today is pay day . . .

1) We got paid - We’ve managed to provide a candidate to fill an Investment Banking Associate (Metals & Mining) role. While it took some time, I believe it worked out really well for both our client and candidate.

- Our client signed up a really talented candidate. Our candidate wasn’t actively looking for jobs when Vawch touched base with him; in fact I was honestly quite surprised he hadn’t been approached by other headhunters. Perhaps this supports our hypothesis that referrals do indeed throw up passive candidates.

- The candidate joins a bank in a bigger capacity with the opportunity to take on new responsibilities. I’m pretty sure he also appreciates the job security since this bank has come through relatively unscath by the recent financial meltdown.

2) You got paid - We are going to process some payments today. We’ll be paying out three S$100 payments to our referrers for successful referring candidates who were interviewed in-person by our clients. Thank you for you referrals:  Joel, Tammy and Ming. You should be receiving your cheque in the mail shortly (we’ll be sending it to the address you signed up with).

3) New Payments Role - One of our client is looking for a Director to lead its Payments operations. Know any transaction banking friends? Perhaps they might be able to help you with the expected bounty of ~$10,500.

On another note, we’ve been working on a couple of new features for Vawch and will be adding them over the next few weeks. I’m sure some of you have noticed, we’ve just added a comments functionality. We hope this will help faciliate conversations / clarifications between our referrers, our clients and us!
