As a creative agency, I think challenges and changes are something we receive very well. We can show the strength of our team and how we can adapt into different scenarios."

On the back of the announcement, Human Resources Online spoke to Darien Mah, Founder of FOREFRONT Group on the positions the firm is hiring for, what determines a good candidate fit, and what the launch of FOUN means for existing employees.
