In our NKR Spotlight series, we recognize the people who contribute to the culture, growth, and success of NKR. This April, we feature Jam Liwanag from NKR Recruit, who has been part of the team for three years as a Technical Recruiter.

Throughout her time with the company, Jam has played an important role in supporting both NKR and our clients through recruitment. As a Technical Recruiter, she focuses on sourcing and connecting businesses with the right talent. Her day-to-day responsibilities include posting job opportunities, reviewing applications, and screening candidates for a range of roles. While recruitment is often centered on qualifications and experience, Jam values the opportunity to learn more about the people behind each application. What she enjoys most about her role is meeting individuals from different backgrounds and hearing the stories that go beyond what is written on a resume.

One of the most rewarding parts of Jam’s work has been seeing candidates she helped hire grow and succeed within the company. Being part of someone’s professional journey from the beginning and later watching them develop in their role is something she takes great pride in. These moments have made her work especially meaningful and have added to her sense of purpose at NKR.

When asked what has made her stay with NKR for three years, Jam describes the company as a place that feels like home. She appreciates being part of an environment where she feels valued, supported, and encouraged to grow professionally. That sense of belonging, along with the opportunities for development, has made her experience with NKR both rewarding and fulfilling.

Outside of work, Jam enjoys spending her free time binge-watching her favorite series and relaxing with her three cats, one white, one black, and one orange. These simple interests reflect a side of her that is grounded, warm, and easy to connect with.

For new team members, Jam offers a piece of advice based on her own experience: do not hesitate to connect with your teammates. Building strong relationships at work can make busy days more enjoyable and helps create a more supportive and positive environment for everyone.

Jam’s story reflects the value of having dedicated people at the heart of the business. Her professionalism, commitment, and genuine care for others continue to make a positive impact on the team and the clients she supports. We are proud to recognize Jam and thankful for everything she brings to NKR Recruit and the entire NKR team.

Entertainment Friday has always been a special time for the team to connect and unwind together. Creative themes, engaging hosts, fun games, and exciting prizes have made it a virtual team bonding event that many of us look forward to.

We’d like to share an update regarding the Entertainment Friday program schedule.

Starting this year, Entertainment Friday will transition from a quarterly event to a semi-annual event. Instead of four smaller events, we will now host two larger events each year, featuring expanded activities and enhanced prize offerings.

This change will allow us to provide a more engaging and memorable experience, offer larger and more meaningful prizes, build greater anticipation and participation, improve event planning and coordination, align celebrations with key project and performance milestones, and maximize the overall impact of our recognition efforts.

By focusing our resources on two major events each year, we aim to create even more exciting and rewarding Entertainment Friday experiences for everyone.

Additional details regarding event dates and activities will be shared ahead of the first semi-annual event.
