Fun fact
Our brand icon is a Death's-head hawkmoth. It got its name from the skull-like marking on its back, which resembles a human skull, making it one of the most visually distinctive moths.
While folklore depicted it as a harbinger of death, SAW sees it as an omen of transformation. “To become the best version of yourself, you must kill off the old you.”

Recruitment and Headhunting Consultancy
Matching talent to hiring companies
Singapore
PR Connections, a recruitment and headhunting agency, faced significant operational challenges due to manual job postings and fragmented data management. These issues consumed up to 50% of their time and hindered their ability to focus on relationship-building—a core aspect of their business. Founder Priya partnered with SAW to develop a custom recruitment system tailored to their unique needs.
This integrated solution automated repetitive tasks, centralized data management, and introduced innovative features like an AI job description generator. The result was a 50% reduction in manual tasks, a 10% increase in conversions from hiring companies, and the virtual elimination of data entry errors. PR Connections is now positioned as a forward-thinking leader in the recruitment industry, able to dedicate more time to building meaningful relationships with clients and candidates.
Founded in 2023 by Priya, a networking extraordinaire and long-time recruiter, PR Connections is dedicated to matching high-quality talent with hiring companies. Priya believes in transparency and relationship-building, firmly viewing recruitment as a people business akin to matchmaking. Her vision is to be the go-to agency for both companies seeking talent and individuals pursuing career opportunities.
Despite their expertise and extensive network, PR Connections grappled with inefficiencies that hindered growth and the ability to focus on core business activities.
Recruiters spent up to 50% of their time manually posting job listings on major platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed, detracting from time that could be spent building relationships.
“Posting of jobs has always been a huge time-waster for recruiters. Recruitment software definitely alleviates the problem but the software has its own set of problems as well. And a lack of support from the software provider is very disruptive and problematic.”
— Priya, Founder, PR Connections
Management struggled to track each recruiter's progress due to the use of fragmented tools and data sources like Excel sheets, Manatel software, and physical notebooks.
“When there's no robust system, recruiters tend to figure out their own ways that best suits their preferences. So there's not a clear way to review our progress.”
— Priya, Founder, PR Connections
Their existing WordPress template website failed to stand out and did not inspire trust among potential clients, resulting in a poor return on investment.
“Like every business owner, I just got a simple recruitment agency template because the website “just needs to be there.” I didn't have time and didn't strategize that part of the business.”
— Priya, Founder, PR Connections
A lack of responsive support from their software provider when key features weren't working impacted their operational efficiency, causing delays and frustration.
As operational issues mounted, Priya found the situation overwhelming. The myriad of fragmented tools and the noise of too many options made it clear that a comprehensive solution was needed.
She realized the importance of outsourcing IT management to a trustworthy partner who could contribute to the growth of the business as if it were their own.
“I just needed the right IT solutions for my business, but you know, everyone I spoke to preached something different. So when I spoke to the founders at SAW, it was like a breath of fresh air. They took the time to explain everything. I was so impressed!”
— Priya, Founder, PR Connections
Priya sought a collaborator who understood that recruitment is fundamentally about people and relationships.
Priya partnered with SAW to develop a custom solution tailored to PR Connections' unique challenges.
SAW aimed to create a website and system that not only provided information but actively helped PR Connections reach their goals.
“For most businesses, they get a website done even though they never use it. I think it's a grave mistake. I'm determined to implement the website into Priya's sales and marketing strategy so she can realise her vision faster.”
— Agnes Ang, SAW
By mapping out PR Connections' typical operational processes, SAW identified areas where technology could alleviate manual workloads and improve efficiency.
“Our deep understanding and past experience with the recruitment industry really came in handy. We could easily point out areas of PR Connections' process to digitalise.”
— Rishikesh Sawant, SAW
