Startups
Hi, I'm Adrian Tan - the Future of Work Strategist at the Institute for Human Resource Professionals, a government-funded startup that aims to build a world-class HR community in Singapore.
Previously a serial entrepreneur in the recruitment, career search, and HR consultancy space, leading to two HR Vendor of the Year awards, SHRI HR Entrepreneur award, and Global Recruiters Best Marketing award.
I write extensively on Future of Work on my blog and mainstream media and created the Singapore HR Tech Market Map in 2017. That got me listed as one of the Top Global Influencers in HR Tech by AIHR.
Currently exploring podcasting and youtubing as new channels to deliver my content.
