Our software uses 10 Doodle Drawings to measure a person’s attitude, values and culture fit with employers in <3 mins.Why?Any CHRO will understand that the Talent Acquisition staff, HR Interviewers and Learning & Development Managers, Hiring Managers etc are all humans. As with any human, we have our internal bias. Conscious or Unconscious Bias, but Bias nonetheless.The problems we predicted will happen very soon (if not already happening) is the onslaught of AI Resume/CV. And these GenAI curated resumes are pretty close to tricking any ATS because of appropriate keywords, especially when extremely large volume of resumes are needed to be vetted by humans afterwards; compounding the human bias further; its an eventual headaches for any Heads of Department.We are building an AI to counter these, helping companies screen 10s, to 1,000,000's actual applicants (not resumes) within minutes and hours, not days or weeks for the right attitudes and values fit first, before validating their resumes. After all, hiring based on Attitude should be first and foremost importance of any hires.Our background came from Sass Atlantic Group (see below and featured #3) as Emirates Group Recruitment Consultant from 2003 - 2013 for 10 countries in Asia Pacific, where we physically interview more than 2,500 applicants a day of more than 120 different nationalities. We could not do it with traditional interviews of course. We used drawings and anyone can draw something. So there is no language, culture nor even gender bias.Try it out and see for yourself.Just 1 test is enough to prove our value proposition.Visit us at https://AttituX.co

We were on a mission to solve the most challenging problem in the history of mankind: Human Conflict @Work/Home.We originally invented Remote Talent Acquisition & Hybrid Teams since 2002 to help workforce prevent conflict between different cultures with Emirates Airline as our first client and helped them grow by 10 times in 10 years to become the most profitable airline in the world by 2013.(Check out IG @Drawmetrics for 20 years history)My 21 years hiring experience tells me one thing:One KEY MISSING component in every single 80,000++ resumes I have interviewed is: The Heart❤️It takes a body, mind and heart to make a complete person.YET, every single resume has information about their skills and experiences (hands, legs and body to do the work) and Education, Intellect and Aptitude (brains and mind).BUT, none of them has any information about their HEART on resume.What makes them angry, irritated and emotional? When are they frustrated? Who they dislike?None.Without knowing the heart, it is impossible to know a person completely.So companies do not have 100% complete knowledge of their new hires and employees if they can never fully figure out the missing component: The Heart.People are connected with people with their hearts. Not their body and minds alone.When staff are disconnected with their bosses, teams and colleagues; it is easier for them to leave.Nobody leaves companies.They all leave people.We don't leave our loved ones simply because we remain connected to them with our hearts.Drawmetrics is the only tool in the world today that can assess a person's heart at an interview without bias:Relationships, personal ambitions, values, financial motivations, professional satisfaction, future and personal conflict with their hearts.It is the only drawing based psychometrics that do not contain a single question nor a grading scale.So it simply cannot be manipulated.Simple | Fast | Accurate

HOW on Earth did a bunch of very young cute Westerners who doesn’t speak a word of Mandarin start a consultancy for China companies, to help them list on Nasdaq and NYSE?!?!Yes, 98% of them speak zero Mandarin, except one Chinese partner.Abraham from Mexico and Sergio from Spain were unemployed after the 2009 financial crisis not because they lost their jobs, but they were fresh from school. Bummer.So they flew to China, hurdle in and bunk together, slept on floors and lived on borrowed funds.And crazy enough to start ARC Capital, a boutique investment bank. When they asked me to be their local Director for their Singapore office in 2018, I said: “YES!”They are just like Alfred Lin (Sequoia Capital) and Tony Hsieh (Zappos)! - just slightly cuter 😜Who can say no to them?!If you want a fast track to IPO, they are one of the early pioneers in SPAC back in 2017 in the world.

B-Robotics is a spin-off from a hybrid electric technology company and has won numerous tender and awards from the Singapore government to turn any metropolitan city into a smart city. With its modular and scalable autonomous AI mobility solutions, B-Robotics is now ready to scale during and post Covid in areas of autonomous drive and mobility solutions with AI/IOT/mobile apps control inputs.I saw synergy and product market fit to build a robotics air sampler, something that could move around malls and restaurants or offices to sample and test the air for Covid virus within 1.5 hours. If the space is tested positive within that short time frame, then the risk is extremely high and people within that time & space needed to be immediately informed/quarantined and/or PCR tested. That’s why I joined the board of B-Robotics.I was then asked by the Board to invest skin in the game to be the new CEO after just 3 months on the Board. I said I am not ready, because I don't have enough money to fund a robotics company Pre-Seed to Series B as the main driver behind the company (it would be irresponsible to do so) and offered to take over the CEO position at $1 per month with stock options only on successful raise of Series A of $20M, and B at $200M.The board said “Yes!”BUT the CEO and Founder I am replacing said Yes, to replace him as CEO but no to stock options!”Because he is still the largest shareholder and override the rest of the board, which included family office and listco owners.The rest is history.

Wouldn't you want to be surrounded by beautiful celebrities and internet influencers?In my previous business I was always surrounded by beautiful people in the Cabin Crew business (www.sassatlantic.com destop version). I have personally interviewed >80,000 girls (the boys is probably another 10,000), so when I was asked by multi-millionaire Lucio Tan Jr (Bong), the eldest son of Filipino Billionaire tycoon Lucio Tan, LT Group on Forbes, if I knew how to recruit the right talent, screen them at high precision (as hiring costs is very high) and built a team where everyone has similar culture, I said ask my clients.Hence, High Flyers Group was started to focus on the streaming and entertainment/digital media business partnering Nasdaq MoMo. The business broke even within 3 months of operations and had a lot of fun together.With Bong's untimely passing on 11th November 2019, it was meaningless to continue without him. I have lost a great friend and business partner. :'(

Featured on Asia Wall Street Journal in January 2002 for Executive Coaching sponsored by Honeywell for high talent and senior management development.Honeywell is the best corporate to work in during my time. Planes fly and land because of them. Gasoline, Food, Electricity, Air-conditioning, Space Travel, Missiles, Manufacturing, Beverage, Fighter Jets, Apache Helicopters, the list is just too long...They have many clients but the biggest is US Military, Air Force and Navy. Honeywell and GE are the Google, Apple and Amazon of my time.My favourite story in Honeywell was my last few days of work around Jun 2002. Because of how much they spent on Executive Coaching to groom me to the future senior management leadership within Honeywell, the President of Honeywell Asia Pacific (whom I don't know personally) met me personally for the exit interview. He asked why I wanted to quit. I said because for 5 years at my annual performance review, I said I wanted to join Honeywell Aerospace, the SBU he was leading. He said he didn't know and immediately asked for P file to check. After 10 mins, he said: "Alright, I will create a new Director/VP position for you. Don't resign. Your corporate grade will be promoted from 12 to 14/15. Just one or two grade below the President" I must have heard wrongly.I replied I loved aviation and aerospace industry very much, especially with Honeywell for sure, but I have already given my word to my new business partner Diana that I will work with her.Honeywell told me if my venture didn't work, they will welcome me back anytime. This, I didn't hear wrongly."My word is everything. Trust is everything. I will never go back on my word. You can't take it to the bank because I am a nobody but you know it will never change once it leaves my mouth."

Many asked me why I worked in (now Pantai) Parkway Health for only 3 months?Because if one poor family I was tasked to market to in Indonesia mortgaged their only home for $23K just to pay for a heart bypass surgery he (age 35+) actually DID NOT need then at his age, and he (the only breadwinner) died?? And I delivered the bad news and the FULL bill to his grieving young wife 😢 I don’t think I need to work any longer for that culture.My sincere apologies for my short stint.

I will probably be fired for saying this or sued for revealing this.Heck, I only live once. Why not get both before I see God. Back in 1993/94, investment linked insurance policies were sold primarily by one insurance company B. The rest of the insurance companies had very little product knowledge or portfolio to match but wanted to train their own agents as their company actuarial design new investment linked products to sell. Who is better to write training curriculum than B, correct? Why would they do it to help A, C - Z compete with them? So my boss from Education and Training department called me and said: " Physics is a damn difficult subject. I know it because I am hopeless in it. So if you can have a degree in Physics, you can study finance and investment to write this curriculum representing our contribution to MAS"I was afraid she would find me hopeless since it was only my first year at the company. So I decided to self study and wrote the investment linked curriculum as AIA’s contribution. I was told it was 85% of the curriculum at that time.Did I struggle, people would ask? I struggled like hell during NUS (Physics - see Education story) for 3 years, so? Finance and investment was much harder, I thought.I left AIG to further my MBA in International Business at Thunderbird and got a job with AIG New York, Pine Street at the heart of Wall Street for 2 years. Just before I departed for New York, AIA Singapore's only other MBA graduate at that time left for another company. I was then asked to cancel the New York posting, and took over as Acting Underwriter in Robinson Road, AIA Tower.I got the chance to work with some of the best leaders within AIA Tower and developed strategic planning skills and exposure to launch Bankassurance for the first time in Singapore.

How I became the Top Salesman in Roche in less than 6 months.First job from NUS and I was responsible for Roche largest corporate customer: Singapore General Hospital.Everyday I went to SGH in the morning, waited for hours to see the Specialists doctors, got embarrassed by the clinic nurses as they shouted out loud "Salesman! Doctor will see you NOW!" (rather than names) and everyone, patients and families watch as we carry our big samples bags through the long clinic hallway. I figured I did not enjoy the embarrassment but more because of the pure waste of waiting for hours just to see one or two doctors each day. We wait much longer than the patients, mind you.So I thought to myself, what will make the sale and the drug move? The key person, I thought was the purchasing department manager. So everyday, I decided to spend hours waiting to see her instead. Found out that her sons and daughters were studying the subjects that I used to teach as a tutor: English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. I volunteered to be their tutor so I got invited to her home. We became best friends. The rest is history.Relationship is the ONLY currency between suppliers and customers. So is Trust.Hence, Trust is the ONLY currency in human relationships, business and family. Money is never a currency that really matters in this world. If you don't believe, ask @Bitcoin.

Let me share a really stupid story of my laziness and malingering attitude in Singapore's National Service Programme.I went to military medicine because I really wanted to become a doctor, but I didn't want to work as hard as a doctor. While during the training, we were told that the top 3 graduate will get to choose their posting, including the much coveted Paya Lebar Airbase when during that time, Singapore Airlines cabin crew would need medical coverage while they had swimming lessons. I was trilled. So I study like hell and came in top 2.I was posted to Pulau Tekong Camp 3 Medical and eventually 1 Combat Support Hospital. They send the best to Tekong, because there are more injuries there than SQ Crew Training. Duh.I was SO gullible then. And sometimes now.Biggest achievement here was learning how to stay calm when a three tonne armoured vehicle overturned with 35 mass casualties, many in very critical air-evacuation cases. I worked with Captain (Dr) Terence Tan (MOIC) and Captain (Dr) Chee, Captain (Dr) James Koh and team of 12 medics to save 35 lives. All of them. Calmly.
