John
Clements Initiates New Outsourcing Ventures in Indonesia
By
Paul Catiang
In the second week of February, three consultants from the John
Clements main office in Manila flew to PT John Clements Consultants
Indonesia in Jakarta as part of an exchange program designed to
facilitate the transfer of knowledge and expertise between the
two offices.
The
consultants were chosen according to their respective specialties
in the field of recruitment: Rowena Aquino for large-scale recruitment,
Charlotte de Jesus for executive search, and Jasmin Lozada for
outsourcing. All three services are offered by PT John Clements
Consultants, and Andi Mohammad Hatta, president-director of the
Jakarta office, believes that their expertise has been proven
and needs to be passed on to the office’s recruitment consultants.
Several
opportunities for outsourcing were discovered in the outsourcing
field. Jasmin Lozada, the consultant concerned, was not only in
charge of training the outsourcing consultants of PT John Clements,
but also contracted several clients, some new and others currently
being serviced by John Clements in the Philippines.
First
on this list is a multinational computer company which has availed
of John Clements’s outsourcing services for several years
now, and three years ago, the client began its relationship with
PT John Clements, which takes care of their outsourced salaries
and benefits processes. PT John Clements has deployed dozens of
employees to service this client’s needs, and the multinational
computer company has signified an intention to avail PT John Clements
as it expands throughout Indonesia.
Other
companies include a pharmaceutical company interested in filling
their plant requirements and getting more temporary staff for
an expected product launch; an international manufacturing company
currently employing administrative, technical, accounting and
general services staff; and a global financial aid institution
that has already engaged the services of the Makati office of
John Clements.
The
challenge, according to Ms. Lozada, is finding people to focus
on the outsourcing services of PT John Clements Consultants. “There
aren’t that many of them, and the existing consultants in
the Jakarta office are also conducting executive search and large-scale
recruitment work, aside from outsourcing,” she reports.
PT
John Clements Consultants currently aims to add to their ranks
to tap into the vast market of clients ready and willing to avail
of their services. |
