“Always Keep a Smile” – How Yurika Hatton Is Building a Cross-Cultural Career with Reeracoen Singapore

Stepping out of her comfort zone was a big decision for Yurika Hatton. Born and raised in Osaka, she studied at a Malaysian university and began her career with Reeracoen Malaysia as a Recruitment Adviser. In 2025, with her visa in Malaysia ending and a strong desire to grow, she took a leap of faith and joined Reeracoen Singapore.

“I’m a bit nervous… but I see this as a great opportunity. 
I’m determined to grow and become someone who can succeed here too.”

🌱 From Fresh Graduate to Future Leader

Yurika-san’s early days in Malaysia were a learning curve.

“At first, I had no idea what I was doing — I just did my best to hit my sales targets.”

With guidance from her colleagues, she grew in confidence. Now, Singapore represents her next step: a larger market, higher expectations, and a chance to learn from experienced mentors.

I also enjoy challenging myself in new environments.”

Yurika-san’s drive comes from making a difference for candidates and clients — while continuously stretching her own potential.

🚧 Anticipating Challenges, Building Confidence

She knows the road won’t be easy.

“One challenge will be matching high client expectations. 
I plan to overcome that by actively seeking feedback, learning from others, and always improving.”

✨ Advice for Others Starting Fresh
