More than halfway through our Developing People Series, we have featured some of today's biggest companies in collaboration with BFM 89.9 – from Strategies for effective employer branding with McDonalds, to discussing about the challenges and issues surrounding hiring fresh graduates.

More than just a glimpse into human resource management for practitioners, the series provides insights into the workings of each institution and their hiring practices.

For one, jobseekers get a picture of the hiring practices by each individual company, crucial for those keen on knowing some of the interview processes employed. A few of the topics also cover the hiring trends under the current economic climate where some are hiring, and some are freezing. From F&B, to finance, to land development get a better understanding of the needs and requirements of each individual industry from the big players themselves.
