The research, which covered 350 HR and other professionals in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, was presented at an HR event held in Singapore and Malaysia this month.

While the No.1 priority was the recruitment of quality candidates, the second and third priorities for HR are to improve services in the hiring of managers and to provide a better response to candidates respectively. Next-ranked priority is to reduce recruitment costs.
