“A Little More Than Yesterday” – How Chisa Tanuma Passed Her Probation with Purpose

After years of running her own talent agency in Japan — managing influencers, livestreamers, and models — Chisa Tanuma made a bold career pivot. She joined Reeracoen Singapore as a Career Consultant and, in just a few months, successfully passed her probation.

“Passing probation means I’ve proven I can adapt and contribute value. It may seem small, but it’s a big step for my growth.”

🚀 A Meaningful Milestone

Transitioning from self-employment to a structured recruitment environment was a challenge, but Chisa-san embraced it.

“Helping candidates find jobs they’re proud of — that’s been the most rewarding part of this journey.”

Her communications experience helped her connect with candidates quickly, but she also needed to master Singapore’s competitive market, new KPIs, and recruitment tools.

📈 Numbers + Heart = Career Progress

Chisa-san’s motivation comes from measurable progress:

“I’ve always liked working with numbers and setting benchmarks for myself. 
Hitting KPIs is important, but I also set personal goals to stay engaged every day.”

To meet her targets, she increased the number of job descriptions (JDs) she introduced and improved candidate engagement — strategies that accelerated her probation success.

🔧 Overcoming the KPI Challenge

“Volume was key. I realised I had to reach more people, so I focused on introducing more JDs. 
It built momentum and results.”

Her proactive approach balanced volume with personalised care, proving that strategy and empathy go hand in hand.

💡 Advice for New Joiners

Chisa-san’s tips for those starting their own Reeracoen journey:

• Try everything — action builds confidence
• Don’t fear mistakes — they’re part of the learning curve
• Build your rhythm day by day

“Things get easier with each step. It’s all about getting used to the pace.”

🎯 Looking Ahead

Chisa-san is focused on sustainable growth for FY15 and beyond.

“My goal is simple: do a little more every day than I did yesterday. 
Those small steps compound into big results.”

🍶 A Toast to Culture & Connection

Outside of recruitment, Chisa-san is a certified sake sommelier (唎酒師) who once hosted monthly sake appreciation events in Japan.

She says, “Whether it’s through jobs or sake, it’s about creating meaningful connections.”
