Competing in the talent market calls for calibre, consistency and creativity.
HR departments and recruitment firms which exhibit these qualities will be recognised at the Asia Recruitment Awards, the only regional awards show which recognises and celebrates Asia’s talent acquisition and recruitment champions.
They will be named by a set of judges who are senior HR executives from well-respected international companies across Asia Pacific, such as Canon, DHL, Diesel Pacific, Ericsson and Pfizer.
"Resources are accessible to many HR professionals so what can only differentiate recruitment campaigns and talent processes from one another is strategy and what can prove their success is results," said Aditi Sharma Kalra, regional editor of Human Resources magazine.
"This is why the jury of Asia Recruitment Awards who will scrutinise the quality of the entries are experienced professionals and achievers in their respective industries."
Here are some of the latest additions to the Asia Recruitment Awards 2016 jury.
Julia Cheah, human resources director at Canon, is admired for her expertise in succession planning, HR transformation, HR policies, strategic HR and industrial relations.
