#FindSuccess: Dealing with Uncertainty

January 27, 2023

We had the pleasure of having Nick Chow from Maclean’s Recruitment to share how he dealt with uncertainty amid COVID-19. Thank you, Nick!

After 3 months, Nick finally got his candidate an amazing offer. What he didn’t expect was COVID-19 and, as a result, the candidate’s change of heart. Given the development of the virus, the candidate became reluctant to relocate to Hong Kong.

Nick could have given up and let his frustration grow about the situation. But he did not. Instead, he spent hours trying to understand the situation and look for a solution. After many discussions with the client and the candidate, they decided to redesign the role so the candidate could work remotely from their home city.

The candidate was extremely happy with what Nick had done for him and accepted the offer.

Nick approached the situation with empathy, transparency, and optimism. Where external factors were very much uncertain, Nick did not let that affect his work quality and was able to achieve a win-win situation.

In uncertain times like this, we must remind ourselves to handle any situations with empathy and transparency.
