Not only did Hays (Singapore) win gold at this year’s Vendors of the Year (VOTY) awards in Singapore, but Hays (Malaysia) also bagged the top prize at the Vendors of the Year awards in Malaysia.

Lynne Roeder, MD of Hays in Singapore, commented on the win: “We are thrilled to be named the ‘Best Overall Recruitment Firm’ by Singapore’s HR professionals.”

“This award acknowledges that we are succeeding in making a difference to our clients, candidates and the industry,” she added.

“We are grateful to all those HR professionals across Singapore who nominated us. It means a lot that they think we are doing the best job possible to power their world of work.”

Over at the Vendors of the Year awards in Hong Kong, the gold was presented to Robert Half, which has been growing its regional and global footprint after expansion into Hong Kong in 2006.

The Vendors of the Year awards, organised by Human Resources magazine, is a long-running annual vendor rankings report that recognises the best solution providers in Asia – starting out in Singapore, and this year extended to Malaysia and Hong Kong.

In the tenth year of the VOTY research, all winners were determined on a two-tier selection process. First, the finalists were identified through an extensive online survey of HR managers in Asia on their preferences.

These finalists then submitted documentation to verify their credentials, which was validated by a panel of more than 50 HR leaders from some of the region’s largest employers.

In effect, for every category, the very end users of such services were the ones who made the critical decision of selecting the best.
