As a project manager/executive manager, I was directly involved in the hiring process. I was also a member of the project HR panel. As the senior project manager, I reviewed labor requirements to ensure that the general requirements aligned with the requirements of the construction project of the petrochemical plant.
In my current position, I have also been involved in the hiring process, specifically in CV review, first screening, and interviews as a member of the hiring panel.
