A sparkling stage at Aloft Kuala Lumpur was the perfect setting for the first-ever Vendors of the Year 2015 awards held last night in Malaysia, organised by Human Resources.

With more than 200 people in attendance, a total of 70 trophies were handed out to the most respected vendors, service providers and consultants in Malaysia.

The winners were determined on a two-tier selection process.

First, the finalists were identified through an extensive online survey of HR managers in Asia on their preferences.

These finalists then submitted documentation to verify their credentials, which was validated by a panel of HR leaders from some of the region’s largest employers.

In effect, for every category, be it recruitment specialists, HR technology providers or mobility consultants, the very end users of such services were the ones who made the critical decision of selecting the best.
