The lower group revenue was mainly due to lower placements closed in the Professional Recruitment division, which came on the back of cautious hiring on part of the group’s clients in Singapore. Nonetheless, HRnetGroup notes there was “excellent growth” for this division in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan and Thailand.
