We're delighted to have won the APAC Business Partnership Excellence Award alongside MERCK at the HRO Today Association Awards APAC 2022.  

For more than 15 years, the HRO Today Association has recognised accomplishments in human resources and leadership across North America, EMEA, APAC, and MENA. We’re especially proud to win in the Business Partnership Excellence category as it reflects the quality of our solutions and the strength of our business partnership. 

Resource Solutions has been working closely with Merck since 2016 to deliver a full, end-to-end RPO programme. Our partnership has evolved to support six countries in APAC and is aligned to support Merck’s organic business growth strategy in region.

Laser focus on hiring talent

With an unrelenting emphasis on semiconductor and engineering hiring professionals, we have adopted ‘watch’ talent pipelining strategies to attract high-frequency movers. The result? 100% of Merck’s 2022 hiring was completed in the first 6 months of this year.

RSintelligence delivering a winning talent strategy

Leveraging several products from RSIntelligence, we precisely mapped the local market to identify skills-sets and future talent pools. A proactive APAC talent workforce proposal followed, adopting location and multiple ‘build-talent’ solutions to outpace Merck’s competitors and align seamlessly to Merck’s organic growth strategy. The proposed initiatives now form the priority for 2022 and beyond, expanding our scope into areas such as Early Careers hiring, a first for Merck Korea.

Brand ambassadorship

Resource Solutions has stepped up as advocates and ambassadors for Merck, taking on day-one orientation, driving the employee referral program, being front and centre at early-stage early careers hiring events and running Merck’s GOglobal program locally for the Merck Korea business.

Hazel Lancashire, APAC Managing Director at Resource Solutions, comments:
