Shanghai, China; 3rd December 2007 – For the third successive year, MRI China Group, one of the leading and fastest growing recruitment consultancies in Asia, has been awarded the prestigious ChinaSTAFF/CCH Recruitment Firm of the Year Award. MRI China Group has previously clinched the award in 2003, 2005 and 2006 and was runner up in 2004. The award once again demonstrates the MRI China Group’s position as the undisputed leader in recruitment solutions in China and Hong Kong.
The award was presented to Chris Watkins, Managing Director, MRI China Office, at the annual ChinaSTAFF/CCH gala event attended by top HR professionals and senior managers from some of the most prominent multinational companies in China.
The panel of judges is a group of senior HR executives who are familiar with the talent challenges faced by organisations in the region. The firms’ track record, leadership, innovative talent solutions and corporate social responsibility (CSR) were among the criteria that the finalists were judged on.
“MRI China has been working tirelessly to develop and deliver innovative recruitment and related solutions that more than meet our clients’ requirements in this uniquely hot talent market. Our success is the result of a strong company vision, culture and teamwork that the company has built over the years”, remarks Watkins.
MRI China Group, led by Tony Dickel, its founder and CEO, has been evolving itself in the past year to ensure that it remains ahead of its competitors. “Maintaining our leading position in the region means we need continued excellence in leadership, culture, systems and processes and, of course, demonstrable innovation. I am particularly thrilled to have won the award again this year, especially given the ongoing evolution of the company and more competitive landscape this year. We won it on the back of our track record, testimonials from key accounts and our continued success with solutions development within Tal-os Asia, the solutions arm of the Group formed last year in partnership with Barkers Resourcing.”
MRI China Group has been growing steadily in the last few years. This year, the company has expanded staff by 20% and attained over 50% increase in revenues. MRI China Group has also strengthened its partnership with Barkers Resourcing in Tal-os Asia to provide Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) solutions, large scale recruitment solutions and talent market research solutions to Chinese and global MNCs.
