The silver award was tied between ScienTec Consulting and Randstad, while ACI HR Solutions and Intellisearch Recruitment Services shared the bronze award.

“We believe that our success is the result of our determination to constantly redefine best practices, to challenge the status-quo and encourage breakthrough thinking," said Karen Tok, CEO of ScienTec Consulting.

"There is no idea that is too small or too ridiculous in ScienTec, and our team members strive to raise the bar in all that we do, to create a compelling experience for both external clients and internal employees. We invest heavily in people development, put in place quality assurance systems, and engineer an engaging and rewarding environment for our cross-generational workforce to ensure great team synergy."

“We shall continue to steer our highly engaged team into the next frontier.” added Tok.

Randstad, in fact, also took home the bronze award over at the Asia Recruitment Awards 2016, Malaysia.
