These 3 sectors will be on a hiring spree in Q4

Spurred by holiday demands.

According to PrimeStaff Management Services' employment outlook for Q4, the US Federal Reserve’s recent decision to refrain from tapering its Quantitative Easing (QE) programme was welcomed by the markets as it signals a continued low interest rate environment, effectively delaying costlier of funds. This is positive for businesses and the general economy so we expect good economic progress to continue in Singapore in Q4, barring any major political conflict or natural disaster.

The report noted that there will be a surge in manpower needs for the Hospitality, Retail and Food & Beverage industries in Q4, due to seasonal hiring for the coming Christmas and Chinese New Year festive periods in December and January, respectively.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
