In this edition of Views from the Top published in The Business Times on 31 October 2016, Achieve Group CEO Joshua Yim shared his thoughts how are our firm responding to the economic outlook for our business and industry and it.

Though the economy has slowed down and has impacted the recruitment industry at large, there are still pockets of growth in specific sectors such as e-commerce and healthcare, scouting for talents and support staff.

Contract placements and outsourcing needs by the marketplace would inversely increase as the economy becomes challenging which we had experienced over the past recessions and seeing the trend emerging strongly.

Even in the uneventful situation of retrenchment occurs, our extension of HR service of outplacement is required by our MNC clients and larger conglomerates to assist them through their plight.

P.S. Tough times would not last , but tough men do!
