The Ministry of Manpower (MOM), SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), and Jobstreet by SEEK have announced a partnership to advance career health in Singapore. This collaboration introduces SEEK Pass, a platform enabling job seekers to securely verify and share their work credentials, thereby improving job matching efficiency.
The Career Health SG initiative, supported by this partnership, aims to empower workers to achieve their career goals and enable employers to access a broader talent pool through skills-first hiring. This initiative is crucial in a competitive labour market, as evidenced by a 146% increase in job applications per advertisement in 2024 compared to the previous year.
SEEK Pass, first launched in Australia by SEEK, has been customised for Singapore’s labour market. It allows candidates to utilise their Careers & Skills Passport (CSP), which includes employment history and educational qualifications verified by participating universities. This integration is expected to streamline hiring processes and enhance job opportunities.
Vic Sithasanan, Managing Director of Jobstreet by SEEK in Singapore, stated, “With the surge in job applications in 2024, SEEK Pass addresses the need for efficient hiring processes and empowers candidates to stand out.”
The initiative is part of a broader effort to support Singapore’s economic and social goals by realising the potential of its human capital. The government, alongside partners like Jobstreet, aims to develop tools and services that meet the evolving needs of workers and employers.
