TMS, ipac, COMO and Club 21 launch Candidate Mentoring Program

Recruitment specialists TMS Asia-Pacific, ipac financial planning Singapore, COMO Group and Club 21 have launched a new candidate mentoring concept in Singapore - StarLife.

TMS Chief Executive Officer, Gary Marshall, described StarLife as a 'one-stop shop' designed to provide candidates with an exceptional value added proposition that combines career, finance and lifestyle elements under one umbrella.

TMS has joined forces together with Singapore and Hong Kong-based financial consultancy ipac (an AXA Group subsidiary), COMO Hotels & Resorts, COMO Shambhala and retail specialist Club 21 to offer candidates a raft of services designed to take them well beyond the career advice and mentoring element.

ipac Country Manager, Greg Campbell said the opportunity to bring together job, lifestyle choices and the fiscal would provide candidates with a better and more balanced livelihood, displacing some of the anxieties of relocating to a new destination.

"Some of the elements we will be exploring with the candidates will include expat relocation issues, salary and entitlement packaging and retirement planning, amongst others," he said.

The StarLife model is particularly pertinent to expatriate recruits moving into Asia and Asian personnel leaving to take up overseas assignments.

As part of their involvement, the companies will provide advice ranging from salary packaging, insurance and future planning to the all important 'lifestyle' element - holidays, shopping and fitness.

As part of the new concept, TMS will provide the ongoing career mentoring element, ipac will assist with the financial matters, COMO Hotels & Resorts the holiday/travel component while Club 21 will provide the retail therapy element.

"The StarLife program allows candidates the luxury of having an enhanced up close and personal relationship with the three companies while using the concept to build a career in a true pro-active and strategic manner," Mr Marshall said. "This concept will raise the bar on how candidates are managed throughout the entire recruitment industry."
