Almost 7 in 10 SG professionals expected to look for new jobs in 2025: report

Millennials (76%) and Gen Z (71%) lead the trend.

Almost 7 in 10 professionals in Singapore (68%) plan to look for new job opportunities in 2025, surpassing the global average of 58%, LinkedIn reported.

In its report, LinkedIn said younger generations are leading the trend with 76% of Millennials and 71% of Gen Z expressing intent to seek new opportunities.

Meanwhile, 61% of respondents report that the job search has become harder in the past year, with nearly half (49%) struggling to stay positive. Many are also applying to more jobs but hearing back less often, with 47% reporting limited responses despite higher application volumes.

HR professionals are equally frustrated, with only 3.4% of applications fully meeting their criteria and 28% spending 3 to 5 hours daily sifting through applications due to a lack of technical (44%) and soft skills (50%) among candidates.

On the other hand, LinkedIn cited Artificial Intelligence Researcher, Food and Beverage Assistant, and Electrical and Instrumentation Technician as the fastest-growing roles in the city-state.

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.
