The “Happy Spiral” Mindset: Elvin Lee’s Mission to Create Lasting Impact Through Recruitment

At Reeracoen Singapore, Elvin Lee has built a reputation for impact — not just through awards like FY14 Best Career Adviser Player, Top Sales First Place, and Best Fan Maker (for most positive Google reviews), but through the lives he has helped transform.

“Helping someone land a job gives them more than income — it gives them confidence, dignity, and a renewed sense of purpose.”

🌟 From First Awards to Lasting Impact

For Elvin, these awards are more than trophies:

“They’re my firsts, and they mean so much because they represent real impact. Each placement is a win for someone’s future.”

A highlight of his journey was a Sales Manager placement during the COVID recovery period:

“We worked closely for months. She finally secured a great offer — and we still meet for meals today.”

🔧 Grit Meets Strategy in Niche Roles

Another career-defining project involved finding a Maintenance Engineer Manager for a semiconductor company with rare requirements.

“The process was challenging, but it reinforced one of my core principles: never, never give up.”

💬 Lessons for Aspiring Recruitment Advisers

Elvin’s advice for newcomers:

“Recruitment is a mix of grit, intuition, and empathy. Build relationships, trust your instincts, and don’t rush results. Hard work always pays off.”

🎯 Looking Ahead

Elvin has set his sights on 120 placements by 2026:

“Not for the numbers, but because each successful match means someone’s life just got better.”

🍽️ Beyond the Desk

Outside the office, Elvin enjoys reading, badminton, and cooking.

His specialty dish? Stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers.

“Cooking is like recruitment — it’s not always perfect, but the process is worth it.”#
