Chairman's Corner
At Attar Cam, we believe in People Power. I have always maintained that employees are the most valuable asset of any organization. To thrive in today’s global economy, talent must be precisely selected, carefully nurtured, and strategically retained using the best available resources.
After spending decades as an HR professional, I made the decision in 2017 to establish a world-class organization dedicated to this mission. My goal for Attar Cam was clear: to support professional companies in securing their most vital assets by leveraging the highest caliber of talent in the market.
Exceptional recruitment requires more than just a network; it demands robust infrastructure, unwavering professionalism, and a seamless integration of world-class technology. This is why we are committed to constantly investing in and upgrading our systems to better serve our partners and candidates across Singapore, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania.
My team and I are dedicated to servicing our valued clients and candidates, bridging the gap to help both parties achieve their short-term requirements and long-term strategic goals.

The Founder’s Journey
Gary Winks: An HR Visionary & Global Career Architect
From his early years as a high-level HR strategist for multinational firms, Gary Winks has dedicated his career to one goal: helping professionals realize their dreams of working for world-class organizations. Today, Attar Cam Employment stands as a premier choice for recruiters and job-seekers across Singapore, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania.
While many would have been content with a comfortable corporate career, Gary chose a different path. Driven by a passion for human potential, he stepped out of the traditional corporate world in 2017 to build an agency that prioritizes transparency, technology, and true partnership.
Defining Shifts in Vision
Looking back, Gary identifies three core shifts that shaped the DNA of Attar Cam:
The Global Realization: While working in the fast-paced business hub of Singapore, Gary recognized a massive gap between specialized talent and the companies that needed them most. He saw that traditional recruitment was too slow for the modern world.
The Birth of Attar Cam (2017): In 2017, Gary turned his research into reality. He opened the first Attar Cam office at International Plaza, focused on a "People-First" philosophy. He didn't just want to place workers; he wanted to empower families and strengthen industries.
The Digital & Global Expansion: As the world became more connected, Gary steered Attar Cam to specialize in high-impact sectors like Engineering, Construction, Hospitality, and Oil & Gas. By integrating world-class recruitment technology, he transformed the agency into a regionally integrated powerhouse that simplifies the complex world of international hiring.
Committed to the Global Community
For Gary Winks, recruitment is a noble pursuit. He believes that providing a job to a needy or qualified individual is the most sustainable way to uplift a community.
"My vision since 2017 has been to empower people to lead respectable, prosperous lives. We don't just provide jobs; we provide the foundation for a better future." — Gary Winks
Today, under Gary’s leadership, Attar Cam continues to innovate, offering a "bouquet of services" that includes executive search, global employment communications, and specialized manpower solutions for the world's most demanding industries.
