Asia's champions in recruitment innovation

Amid today's limited candidate pool, only companies with the best and most innovative recruitment strategies are able to acquire the top talent they desire - a feat which Deloitte & Touche proved they're remarkable at.

At the Asia Recruitment Awards 2016, in Singapore, Deloitte stood out among other corporate HR teams with its innovative recruitment strategies and was crowned the gold winner in the Best Recruitment Innovation by a Corporate HR Team category.
