LEEDS – An Introduction
LEEDS Group was first established as Career Chart Consultancy in 1997. The business then expanded to form Leeds HR Solutions in Singapore in the year 2005. Headquartered in Singapore, our branch offices are situated in India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Abu Dhabi and Brunei, and the company is now one of Singapore’s leading recruitment consultancy organizations.
Leeds HR Solutions has honed its expertise for almost a decade in manpower training, recruitment, and manpower supply to industries such as Marine, Oil & Gas, Construction, Manufacturing, Health Care & Services.

Both centres are accredited by ITE Education Services, Singapore.
In 2015, Leeds expanded into a group of companies with the establishment of Leeds HR Consultancy LLC.
