Computer geeks still in demand in Singapore

Firms are boosting IT infrastructure.

If you have mean coding skills and are looking for a job, then Singapore is the place to be.

The latest Robert Walters Asia Job Index showed that technology remains one of the largest recruitment drivers in Singapore, similar to previous quarter.

“This is a result of new initiatives from companies which all involve strengthening IT infrastructure. Due to an increased level of technology risk, firms have also strengthened their efforts in cyber security given its vital role in data protection. In addition, a lot of technology advancement is now seen in how businesses work with their customers,” Toby Fowlston, Robert Walters, Managing Director Southeast Asia.

“This rampant rise in consumer engagement has also created a push from organisations to improve their online strategy. Interestingly, these digital-based projects have opened more opportunities for specialist contracting professionals. Such resources typically apply their expertise for about six to nine months, often overseeing the complete implementation of a project. The upward trends in both the technology sector and contracting hires are likely to continue as more companies are anticipated to digitise processes,” he added.

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.
