Overview of Singapore FinTech Festival 2022

Are you trying to recruit the brightest minds for your company? We are right in the midst of the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2022. Held from the 2nd to 4th of November, SFF 2022 is the world’s largest FinTech festival organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Elevandi, and Constellar. Over 60,000 participants from 160 countries joined last year’s SFF, with more expected this year due to its return as an in-person event.

The theme for SFF 2022 is “Building resilient business models amid volatility and change”. Key stakeholders—global heads of state, policymakers, financial services leaders, founders and technology experts—will be sharing how organisations can design resilient business models which are able to navigate both present and future challenges. Notable speakers during the conference include Changpeng Zhao and Melinda French Gates.

Participating in the Talent Pavilion? If yes, your company is one of over 500 organisations (from global financial institutions to FinTech firms) exhibiting at SFF 2022. Here are several tips on how you can make an impression at SFF 2022's Talent Pavilion:

Tips on how to make an impression at the Talent Pavilion

First, fully utilise the marketing tools offered by the SFF 2022 Committee to publicise your company. For instance, the Talent Pavilion webpage is directly linked to Singapore FinTech Association’s (SFA) Job Portal, where you can advertise your company’s open positions in different categories. There will be high traffic to these websites especially during SFF 2022, so it is a golden opportunity for increasing brand exposure.

Second, set your company up for success with the perfect booth. Investing in a professional-looking booth will help to clearly convey your company’s culture and brand identity to potential candidates. Your booth is your platform to shine—the design and graphics of your booth should draw attention to your brand and make it instantly recognisable.

Besides an eye-catching design, make sure your booth is adequately stocked with the necessary materials—such as company brochures and business cards—which you can give to interested candidates. You can also consider having a laptop or tablet at your booth so that candidates can fill out an online contact form on the spot.

Third, prepare an engaging and informative corporate presentation. To capture the attention of potential candidates, ensure that your tone, style, and content appeal to your target talent demographics. Keep it short and sweet—focus on your brand’s core message. Do remember to highlight your company’s unique selling proposition, whether it be sponsored professional development opportunities or flexible working arrangements.

Fourth, train your booth staff on how to engage with potential candidates during the event. The staff present at the Talent Pavilion will be the face of your company—therefore, it is important that they project a professional image at all times. Other than delivering the corporate presentation, your booth staff should be well prepared to answer any questions candidates may have about your company and the available positions.

Fifth, follow up with candidates after the event. Your work does not end when SFF 2022 comes to a close; don’t forget to follow up with candidates via email within a few business days. Thank them for their time and interest in your company as well as sharing key highlights from SFF 2022. As for shortlisted candidates, inform them via a phone call about the next steps in the recruitment process.

SFF 2022’s Talent Pavilion is a fantastic platform for you to brand yourself with top FinTech talent. By following the tips above, you can make your participation at SFF 2022 a worthwhile experience. If you need more recruitment help, connect with us today!
