From Puzzle-Solver to Power-Placer: Aya’s Journey to Reeracoen Singapore’s Biggest Placement

When Fildzah Mazaya, better known as Aya, began her journey with Reeracoen Indonesia in 2020 before joining Reeracoen Singapore in 2021, she had no background in recruitment. But just a few years later, she now holds the record for the highest-value placement in Reeracoen Singapore’s history — successfully placing a C-level executive at a multinational corporation.

🔥 Fighting Spirit with Purpose

Recently recognised with the Fighting Spirit Award and Top JD Acquisition (FY14), Aya reflects on the distance she’s travelled since her early days in the industry:

“These awards mean so much because I didn’t come from this field. They remind me what persistence, learning, and support can achieve.”

Her journey has also been marked by consistent excellence: Aya was awarded Top 3 RA in both 2023 and 2024, and received the Best Newcomer Award during her time at Reeracoen Indonesia.

💼 Recruitment as a Mission

Now specialising in Manufacturing, Trading, and Engineering roles, Aya sees recruitment as something far more than a job:

“Every role is like a puzzle. When we get the match right, we change lives — and help companies grow. It’s problem-solving at its most human.”

🌟 Breaking Records

Her most defining milestone?

“Placing a C-level executive who’s now driving transformation across APAC. It’s rewarding knowing the ripple effect of that placement.”

That moment not only marked a personal win, but also etched Aya’s name into Reeracoen Singapore’s record books as the highest-value placement ever.

🧠 Lessons in Growth

Aya is honest about the personal growth that came with the job:

“I used to take direct comments personally. Over time, I learned to listen beyond the words and respond more objectively.

That mindset shift helped me grow.”

🎯 Advice for Recruiters

Aya’s guiding principles for thriving in recruitment:

• Act fast and be consistent.
• Offer genuine value — not just a CV.
• Be a trusted partner, not just a service provider.
• And most importantly: Uphold integrity and honesty at every step.

🚀 Looking Ahead

Her goal for 2025–2026 is bold and clear:

“To help Reeracoen become the top recruitment partner in Semiconductors, Electronics, Chemicals, and Advanced Manufacturing across APAC.

We’ve built strong relationships; now we want to expand our influence.”

🌈 Introvert at Heart

Although often seen as energetic and sociable, Aya recently discovered a new side of herself:

“People see me as an extrovert — and I used to be! But I recently got ‘I’ for introvert on the MBTI. I’ve grown to prefer meaningful one-on-one conversations over big gatherings…
but I’ll never say no to a good team celebration!” 😊
