Strengthening After-Sales-Services and Maintenance in Compliance with the Indonesian Investment Law

The year 2019 will go down in Indonesia as one with investments underperforming and sluggish growth. In fact domestic and international factors led to declining exports and a GDP decrease now under 5%.

Recruitment Database As Key To Success

What sounds easy in theory is difficult for your HR department in practice. Mastering that challenge requires a broad and well maintained recruitment database beyond LinkedIn. That’s where we can help you. Over the past, we saw even multinational companies struggling with one major challenge. Public job postings generate a very limited pool of relevant candidates.
