Huxley APAC ends 2018 on a high note by winning Best Banking & Finance Recruitment Company of the Year

Huxley is a leading recruitment firm specialising within banking, financial services and technology. With more than 40 offices globally and a strong presence in Australia, Japan and Singapore, we are extremely honoured to be awarded Best Banking & Finance Recruitment Company by Global Banking & Finance Review. 

In addition, our Dubai office was also awarded with three other awards which you can read more about here.

Mark O’Halloran, Senior Manager of the Huxley team in Singapore shared, “We are very pleased to win this award from the highly regarded Global Banking & Finance Review publication. Huxley have been operating across APAC  for over 10 years now, continuously partnering with clients and candidates alike. It’s great feeling to be recognised externally for our achievements and industry leading service levels.  Our dedication to Banking and Fintech clients has not only  been a focus for us here in APAC but also part of Huxley’s global offering across the U.S, Europe and the Middle East. We are very grateful to all those candidate and clients that have recommended us and this motivates us to work harder. For anyone wishing to hire hard to find STEM based skillsets this award is testament to the fact that we continuously strive to be one of the most professional and reliable partners across the ever-changing Banking and Fintech sector.”


What differentiates the Huxley team in APAC?

Our consultants genuinely enjoy building relationships with our clients and candidates. As such, we’ve learned to support the local community in different ways, depending on each country and their local needs. In Japan, we’ve formed partnerships with local coding schools as the need for software engineers increase. This allows us to build a strong relationship within the community that can create a huge impact in the industry. Our consultants are able to advise students on how and where they need to develop their skills to advance to the next stage and upon graduation, could introduce them to new opportunities. In Singapore and Australia, we are part of a Women in Technology community where we organise a meet-up every six months. This meet-up comprises of panel discussions, round-tables, and networking where we invite both our candidates and clients. This is a great platform for women in technology to find a support network, and at the same time educate the importance of gender diversity to both males and females alike.

Beyond that, we are immensely proud of our rich history of providing advisory, start-up and talent acquisition services to our customers. Because our consultants are subject matter experts in specific geo / vertical niches, they are able to deliver in a quick, precise and comprehensive manner.

With a coordinated global service from our offices based in the world’s leading financial, commercial and technology hubs in New York, London, Singapore, Paris, Frankfurt and Zurich amongst other cities, we are able to leverage off our global reach, local know-hows, and our consultants’ expertise to provide maximum value to our clients and candidates.

Last year we also launched a major customer experience programme globally, using Net Promoter Score (NPS) to capture our clients and candidates feedback at every stage of the customer journey. These feedback are then used to adapt our systems, processes and behaviours. We’ve since seen significant improvements in our overall NPS results and an improved customer experience.

In line with NPS, we also implement Employee NPS (eNPS) to ensure that we are listening to our employees, supporting them, providing them with the right infrastructure and most importantly, empowering them. This has allowed them to be able to provide advisory to senior executives stemming from their subject matter expertise, regardless of their age and background.

 

A big thank you to everyone

The awards are a true testament to the hard work and dedication that the team in APAC has put in and we are extremely proud to know that this has been recognised within the Global Financial community.

We would like to show our appreciation to the team and extend this gratitude to all our clients and candidates. Thank you for making this journey a success and we are very excited for our continued partnership. We are looking forward to create a greater impact in the region.
