Hi seeking advice for an EP rejection.
I own a company with 3 local staff, one PR and One on EP.
I have tried applying for a foreigner end of Jan 2021- rejected within 10days saying that salary doesn't commensurate with experience. This is after using the SAT tool. I called MOM and explained the situation and they proceeded to ask me to appeal.
The appeal went thru and the next step was to send applicants documents to to MOH ( required to go through as we run a health care clinic).
MOM came back to us within 2 days to say it has been rejected. Citing MOH not approving.
This particular candidate has 3 years' experience and is from an accredited Uni, where my previous employees are from. In fact, her fellow classmate( our neighbor) is here. the only difference is nationality.
I did not appeal but re-applied as a new pass. Time of application : 26th March 2021. I used a hiring agency this time around. 3 weeks later and no news, so my hiring agency called them on a Saturday morning.
Within the following Monday, MOH again asked to resubmit documents.. which I proceeded by 22nd April , Thursday morn. Today Friday, 23rd, MOM rejected again within 2 days.
This time the reason was: Candidate is not suitable for workpass. Please find another candidate.
Difference for both. Reasons by MOM is different.
For the Second application: I did RMI verification, got more proof of work documents including income tax.
Our field ( other clinics )has been hounded by major rejections. Unsure now if its due to Covid or just because applicant is overseas.
Any advice?
