Efficiency meets effectiveness: 7 trusted RPO partners in Singapore & Malaysia

Silver winner ST Engineering e‑Services’ GM, Patrick Ong, shares why success lies not in chasing tech trends, but in meaningfully integrating technology into daily operations for lasting impact.

Organisations in Singapore and Malaysia are racing to keep pace with rapid growth and shifting workforce demands. Talent acquisition teams, often stretched thin, are finding relief in recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) partners – trusted allies who step in to manage the heavy lifting. By taking on the complexities of recruitment, these partners free organisations to focus on what truly matters: building strategic priorities and shaping the future of work.

The HR Vendors of the Year 2025, Singapore and Malaysia celebrate the region’s most trusted RPO partners – firms that provide efficient and effective recruitment processes, and showcase an ability to customise their services for individual clients' needs.
