Which has not yet been answered. I suspect the OP was turned down for the job and the HR exec told the OP that so they wouldn't feel too bad. I might be wrong. but there are NO quotas that I know about and all quotas are published. Internal quotas (directives like what have been laid on the Indians recently) are never revealed to the public. That's why I doubt the validity of the statement.
Yes . .. no published quota based on nationalities, except for certain labour intensive sectors ..
Then again, those nationalities who are on watchlist, do get the SP/EP if they are qualified enough and offered good pay.
Recently a friend recruited a guy from Sabah, with experience, in FnB - pass rejected. And the same job was offered to a Filipino - with only 2 years experience vs the Sabahan's 4 years experience - the latter got the pass .. Both were equallly qualified in terms of their trade certifications .. and were offered the same pay.
The recruitment manager was surmising that maybe Singapore dont' want Sabahans .. as the same as he was saying about Myanmar nationals .. when a few Myanmar applications were rejected.
well, to the OP (OP - > original poster - who started the thread.. ) : so from what I Know, Filipinos "
MAYBE " on a higher ranking .. is what I could say ..
Your recruitment agent is taking you for a ride I guess .. did you pay him / her for the placement ?
