Hiring! Job openings in Singapore double from last year

Demand for talent elevated the most in the production sector.

Unemployed individuals in Singapore need not worry as there are many work positions up for grabs in the country, according to the job search platform, Indeed.

Based on their survey, Indeed said job postings in their platform jumped 106% from February 1, 2020.

Across sectors, the demand for talent elevated the most in the production sector, followed by engineering, installation and maintenance sectors. The growth seen in these three sectors exceeded the national average throughout the pandemic.

Indeed said continuous job growth is good for job seekers and a “speaks volumes about the confidence that businesses have in that recovery”; however, such creates a more challenging recruitment environment.

“Recruiters need to be mindful of how they can best attract more candidates to new job opportunities,” Indeed said.

Indeed added that recruiters can make the best of the situation by anticipating skills shortages — which is expected to become more widespread — and adjusting their recruitment strategies accordingly.

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.
