Add BT as a preferred sourceIN their first earnings release since going public earlier this year, recruitment agency HRnetGroup posted a 10.3 per cent decrease in profit attributable to owners of the company to S$7.33 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Net profit after tax fell 7.4 per cent mainly due to IPO expenses of S$2.7 million, the group said.

No dividend was proposed. The counter closed down half a Singapore cent to 82 Singapore cents per share on Monday.
