Highlights in Singapore 2018

Technology skills remain in high demand across key sectors in Singapore. Government’s policies and a heavy campaign to develop and strengthen the technology infrastructure for the future for both domestic and international business contributed to this trend. As a result, the demand for technology professionals is expected to remain high across many industries in 2018.  

The Gemini Personnel annual salary review contains a salaries guide for 2018, based on Gemini’s long-term involvement in the Singapore labour market and recent and forecasted recruitment of a variety of positions. Hiring trends in Singapore in the coming year are expected to show a bigger demand for a hybrid of traditional and new business skills to ensure success in the current fast-changing climate. Availability of such talents remains very limited, organisations may experience higher salary expectations.
 
Employee leasing and/or interim solutions are expected to grow as candidates become more open to short- and middle term contracts in order to broaden their experience and skills. This is especially true for those seeking flexibility in their roles.
 
Companies in non-technology industries are also likely to seek Sales and Marketing professionals equipped with digital knowledge, strong analytical skills and the ability to use technology to run their department effectively.
