Selby Jennings, part of the Phaidon International group, has been named The Banking Recruitment Company of the Year at Recruitment International’s Asia Awards 2015. Winning this category now brings the group to a total of 44 awards, an average of 4 awards per year since Selby Jennings’ inception back in 2004.
Originally founded in London, Selby Jennings started trading in Singapore in 2011 and has experienced exceptional growth since then, with NFI increasing by nearly 400% in 4 years.
Richard Farmer, Director at Phaidon International Singapore commented, “It’s really positive to receive recognition for not only our success in the Banking market, but this award also further cements our commitment to our clients and candidates – going above and beyond the expected recruitment service.”
The highly acclaimed award recognises Selby Jennings’ consistently successful track record and truly specialist recruitment business. The judges added that Selby Jennings “has a strong Y-O-Y growth within Singapore and APAC” and that their dedication “towards providing specialist industry insights, research and reports to clients” showed a clear choice of winner for this award.
“Each consultant at Selby Jennings has a thorough knowledge of their specific market and this truly matters in our industry,” added Candy Choong, Sales Manager at Selby Jennings in Singapore. “This award would not have been possible without the clear training and development initiatives that we have engrained within the Phaidon model.”
Phaidon International provides the central structure that supports 8 specialist recruitment firms – Selby Jennings, for example, operates purely within the Banking industry.
To build on this success, the Phaidon group are hopeful for further award-wins, having been shortlisted for 6 additional awards to be announced in the coming months. The group have been shortlisted in 5 categories at the Recruiter Investment in Talent Awards 2015, as well as Best Specialist Recruitment Business at The Global Recruiter Asia Pacific Industry Awards 2015.
