Talent mismatch shrank by 8% in May

The results were slightly higher than those of the US and Canada.

Talent mismatch in Singapore, defined as the imbalance between job seekers and postings, has narrowed by 8% over the past four years to 36% in May 2019, job site Indeed revealed.

The results were comparable to that of the United Kingdom, but lower than Australia's and slightly higher than those of the United States and Canada.

The role with the biggest shortage of talent is software engineer, followed by sales executive then business development manager. Indeed noted that this is less of a problem for the nation, which has an unemployment rate of 2.2%.

Meanwhile, the job with the biggest shortage of job opportunities is customer service representative (CSR), followed by driver then teacher.

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.
