Local job openings rise: report

Singapore’s hiring situation is seeing an upward trend amidst pandemic.

There has been a 36% surge in job openings whilst applications rose by only 7%, according to a report by employment website JobStreet.

There has been an upward trend in Singapore’s hiring situation, even amidst industries most severely hit by COVID-19.

“COVID-proof” jobs have also sustained strong demand in postings as of Q4 2020.

In spite of the candidates’ agility, they may still be unable to adapt to the rate of change, possibly due to lack of awareness, education and a widening skills gap, according to JobStreet.

To boost employability amongst locals, JobStreet will be hosting a virtual career fair from 1 – 11 March. It will provide jobseekers with opportunities to interact live with more than 40 employers as well as live job interviews and webinar livestreams.

Certified professional courses worth more than $7m will be given complimentary to SEEK Asia candidates at the career fair.

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.
