Well! I am not trying to confuse you by the song "The Name of the Game" and the game, monopoly. Really was I confused trying to figure out where the Singapore-Print-Media Giant, SPH is heading....
When I first took notice of its ads about it's setting up online jobs portal www.st701.com, I think nothing of it. It's just "oh! ok! maybe they are just trying to provide some value-added things to the readers by just trying to compile the job ads that its numerous papers are already carrying....
But now it is kind of launching another cash cow by SPH and it is going into HR. In my humble opinion, shouldn't it be in the hand of Professional HR Practisioners? Surely SPH would argue" Yes it is in their hand! We headhunted the industry bests to do the jobs. And just read the ads I put it up. They are conducting a fee based HR related workshops.
We should applaud them for creating income generating opportunities for professional trainers, HR practisioners but it is kind of conflict of interest. I wonder Jobstreet, JobsDb and alike would have to join hands and set up hard papers instead of putting their ads in SPH's papers. Or I won't be surprised if the free paper, TODAY classified will get thicker.
Could it be the reason why some people felt threaten to share their skills. You learn the ropes and later take away my rice bowl mentality...
Well...just my thought...might not be the case
