Winners and photos: Asia Recruitment Awards 2018, Singapore

In the presence of more than 300 guests, last week (20 April), Human Resources celebrated the accomplishments and hard work of Singapore’s finest recruitment professionals at the Asia Recruitment Awards 2018, Singapore.

This year’s awards gala was held at InterContinental Singapore and produced by Yee Ching Low. Over the past four years, Human Resources has established the Asia Recruitment Awards across Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong, with the objective of recognising organisations that have attained measurable success through sound and innovative talent acquisition strategies.

As with each year, the jury comprises respected and experienced HR leaders from organisations who are passionate about human capital excellence. As one of the region’s largest award shows dedicated to celebrating talent acquisition achievements, winners were announced across 27 categories, including the coveted In-House Recruitment Team of the Year, and Recruitment Agency of the Year - where gold was won by Vodafone and ManpowerGroup Singapore respectively.

Human Resources would like to thank our judges and finalists for their hard work and belief in this award. And of course, a huge thanks to our sponsors and partners for helping make this event possible with special mention to our gold sponsor Sciente International and silver sponsor Aryan Search.

On that note, here are all the winners from Asia Recruitment Awards 2018, Singapore:
