Delete, doesn't meet WP:NCORP, sources are limited to trivial business activities and PR. SailingInABathTub (talk) 14:17, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):
There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports.

Analyst reports

https://sginvestors.io/sgx/stock/chz-hrnetgroup/analyst-report^{Internet Archive} contains a list of analyst reports. Here are four of the analyst reports from three different firms:
1. "HRNetGroup Ltd". DBS Bank. 2020-08-12. Archived from the original on 2021-04-19. Retrieved 2021-04-19.
  The analyst report notes: "HRnetGroup is the largest recruitment agency in the Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), according to Frost & Sullivan. The Group operates in 13 Asian growth cities, with its headquarters in Singapore. It has two operating segments, namely Professional Recruitment and Flexible Staffing."
2. Seet, Jarick (2021-03-03). "HRnetGroup - RHB Invest 2021-03-03: Proxy To Economic Recovery; Keep BUY". RHB Invest. RHB Bank. Archived from the original on 2021-04-19. Retrieved 2021-04-19 – via SG Investors.
  The analyst report notes: "2020 was a tough year for HRnetGroup due to COVID-19, as hiring decelerated – as evidenced by its decreased number of job placements, which led to a decline in revenue from professional staffing. However, with many countries expected to see an economic recovery this year, hiring should rebound – and this should benefit the company. As such, we lift HRnetGroup's FY21 earnings forecast by 15%."
3. Ong, Darren; Lim, Siew Khee (2021-03-01). "HRnetGroup - CGS-CIMB Research 2021-03-01: Forging Ahead In FY21; Reiterate ADD With Higher Target Price". CGS-CIMB Securities. China Galaxy Securities. Archived from the original on 2021-04-19. Retrieved 2021-04-19 – via SG Investors.
  The analyst report notes: "Flexible staffing volume came in at a high of 14,347 (+14% y-o-y), stronger than we expected. HRnetGroup's FY20 core profit above our/consensus forecasts. Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) could potentially lift our HRnetGroup's FY21F core profit forecast of S$47.9m by 2.8%-28.3%. Reiterate ADD on HRnetGroup, with a higher target price of S$0.70, as hiring activities accelerate in FY21F from job creation."
4. Yeo, Alfie; Sim, Andy (2020-08-13). "HRnetGroup - DBS Research 2020-08-13: Cautious Outlook As Job Cuts Loom". DBS Vickers. DBS Bank. Retrieved 2021-04-19 – via SG Investors.
  The analyst report notes: "HRnet Group's 1H20 earnings below expectations on lower permanent placements. Weak GDP dampens earnings growth potential. Cut FY20-21F earnings by 17-20% on weak outlook."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow HRNetGroup to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
