A strong hiring intention of +27% is seen in the Asia Pacific region, improving by 2 percentage points from the previous quarter, ManpowerGroup Singapore reported.

In its Employment Outlook Survey, ManpowerGroup Singapore found that the strongest labour markets are expected from Australia (+30%), Hong Kong (+30%), and India (+30%). Singapore followed with +27%).

Meanwhile, the weakest outlooks are expected from Taiwan (+9%), and Japan (+10%0.

“The only region reporting an increase in hiring intentions from Q1, perhaps due to the reopening of trade and travel in mainland China, with its economy beginning to recover. This has affected the rest of the region with rebounding consumer demand and travel,” the report read in part.

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.
