Here are Singapore's 2022 top 10 talent trends

Hays Singapore said sustainability is one of the top themes among the trends.

Hays Specialist Recruitment released its Hays Singapore Top Ten Trends for 2022, which underlines sustainability to be a part of the return-to-growth strategy in 2022.

Businesses are expected to step up efforts to address climate and sustainability challenges in their business strategies.

"Singapore has been making gradual progress towards sustainability over the years. But, last year, there was a noticeable urgency in the way we approach sustainability. As a result, businesses with long-term ESG-centric (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies and robust and transparent sustainability reporting found themselves to be in prime position compared to competitors despite the disruption from the pandemic," said Regional Director Kirsty Hulston.

"Sustainability will now be entrenched in business strategies beyond 2022. Strategic and operation roles with a focus on ESG are predicted to increase especially in the finance and supply chain sectors."

Here are Hays Singapore's top ten talent trends in 2022:

Spotlight on sustainability in 2022
More ESG roles in Banking and Financial Services companies
Talent acquisition specialists needed as hiring increases
Logistics operators to focus on supply chain optimisation
Hypergrowth expected in the Technology sector
Consistent demand for Flexible Recruitment
Revolution imminent in Life Sciences
Customer-Centric Marketing will come to the fore
Social Selling and Customer Success rising in prominence
Candidates prioritise companies with hybrid work models

2022 Singapore trends

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
