“This year’s award is an extremely emotional one. When Ani [Hatch Asia’s Anirudh Arvind, Managing Partner, Asia] told me that we will transform Hatch Asia from a staffing agency to a Talent Management Advisory business, I thought let me trust this transformational plan and that journey began,” said Amos Tay, Managing Partner, Asia.
He added that there were setbacks and it’s not perfect. Thus, they were thrilled when they landed their first consulting project in Malaysia and then Singapore.

“We stuck to our ethos of always delivering quality work for the organizations we partner with, and we believe this for us, is just the start. To all our clients who place their trust in us to align talent strategy to organizational goals, we thank you abundantly for doing so!,” Amos shared.
The Best Mid-Management Recruitment Firm Award is for “providers who can demonstrate a track record of successfully placing qualified candidates.” The focus is mainly on mid-level management positions.
Hatch Asia’s mid-management placements aren't just about the profiles but how we incorporate Gallup Strengths Assessments to integrate our clients' onboarding process within our vertical expertise. Such has been a strong foothold for the said organization over the years.
Meanwhile, the Best Executive Search Firm Award is in acknowledgement of top-tier providers who “recruit top talent for executive positions."
Lastly, the Best HR Management Consulting Firm Award is a recognition for top-tier “vendor’s ability to provide strategic guidance." They render "innovative solutions for clients across a range of HR issues.”

“We’ve been blessed to have partnered with clients to bring simplicity to processes, leverage technology and data to champion people solutions, and more essentially tie these to business objectives. Our approach in leading our executive search and HR consulting business practices always starts with what we intend to achieve from these solutions and learn what our client’s would like to celebrate from these key initiatives. This has enabled us to lead projects within succession planning, leadership assessments and even creating a unique proposition for our clients within the startup ecosystem, known as CTOAS (Chief Talent Officer As A Service) across both Singapore & Malaysia,” said Hatch Asia’s Anirudh Arvind, Managing Partner, Asia.
Hatch Asia is a leading service provider in both the Executive Recruitment and Talent Management Services across ASEAN & ANZ.
