Joshua Yim, CEO and Founder of Achieve Group
Today, it gives us great pride that as a homegrown brand, the majority of human resource professionals in Singapore know us and trust in the consistency of our delivery.
Our regional partners continually seek us in building connections and working on collaborations. Our work is recognised in the business community; our inputs are valued by the media and are regularly featured in the Channel News Asia, The Straits Times and Business Times.
This esteemed standing, however, did not come easy against the highly competitive recruitment landscape in Singapore. Since our founding, we have had to contend with several MNC and SME recruiters, some of whom possess extensive resources.
In addition to that, we had to overcome three crises – the first being the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis and the third was the 2008 Great Financial Tsunami. But the toughest was the triple whammy between 2001 and 2003, consisting of the bursting of the dotcom bubble, the Sept 11 attacks in the US and the Sars epidemic. We lost almost S$800,000 which brought us to the brink of bankruptcy.
But with perseverance and a never-say-die attitude, we survived and got back onto a safe track. During the Covid-19 pandemic, though we were tested on several fronts, the wisdom gained from the past crises saw us through and emboldened our resilience.
With the recovery of the economy since 2H2021, we are now focused on sharpening our delivery as a long-standing recruitment agency and we stand ready to help our Clients, Candidates, and Consultants achieve success.
