Best Recruitment Firm: Engineering/IT Positions (Gold)

In Singapore’s fast-evolving engineering and technology sectors, the demand for specialised talent continues to outpace supply. Organisations are not just competing for skills, they are competing for the right minds to lead innovation, drive transformation, and build sustainable futures. Standing at the forefront of this talent frontier is PERSOL Singapore, this year’s Gold Award winner for Best Recruitment Firm: Engineering/IT Positions at the Readers’ Choice Awards 2025.

For Foo See Yang, Managing Director of PERSOL Singapore, the recognition reflects the team’s deep commitment to connecting people with purpose. “We are truly honoured to receive the Gold Award for Best Recruitment Firm: Engineering/IT Positions,” he said. “This recognition is a testament to the passion and dedication of our team at PERSOL, who work tirelessly to connect exceptional talent with meaningful opportunities across Singapore’s most dynamic sectors.”

As digital transformation, automation, and sustainability redefine the future of work, PERSOL Singapore has positioned itself as more than a recruiter—it is a strategic talent partner helping organisations anticipate, adapt, and thrive amid rapid change.

“The engineering and technology landscapes continue to evolve at a rapid pace,” Foo noted. “At PERSOL, we believe that our role extends beyond recruitment. It’s about being a strategic talent partner who understands how innovation shapes future workforces.”

To fulfil this role, PERSOL combines deep sectoral expertise with data-driven insights to help clients design agile, resilient workforce strategies. Its consultants leverage advanced analytics to anticipate emerging skill needs, enabling businesses to stay ahead while ensuring candidates find roles aligned with their growth aspirations. This approach allows PERSOL to deliver value that goes beyond immediate placements, creating solutions that support long-term organisational success.

Central to PERSOL’s philosophy is its commitment to people. “While technology empowers us, it is our people-first philosophy that defines our success,” Foo explained. “We invest heavily in developing our consultants’ capabilities, ensuring they remain trusted advisors who truly understand both clients’ business goals and candidates’ career aspirations.” By balancing empathy with expertise, PERSOL builds strong, sustainable relationships that create lasting impact for both clients and candidates.

Looking ahead, PERSOL Singapore is strengthening its regional integration within the broader PERSOL network to deliver cross-border recruitment solutions more effectively. “We are strengthening regional collaboration within the PERSOL network to serve clients and candidates across borders better,” Foo shared.

The organisation is also investing in digital recruitment tools to enhance the talent experience, from predictive analytics that improve talent matching to engagement platforms that foster long-term connections. This combination of human insight and technological innovation enables PERSOL to stay at the forefront of recruitment excellence.

At the heart of PERSOL’s success is a simple belief: when people are empowered, progress follows. “This award reinforces our belief that when we empower people, we power progress,” Foo reflected. “On behalf of the PERSOL team, I extend my heartfelt thanks to our clients, partners, and candidates for their continued trust and collaboration. We share this achievement with you all.”
