Good news for all you unemployed or just looking for something new — more employers in Singapore are looking to hire this year.
A report by recruiters Hudson noted that 41 percent of 383 employers surveyed plan to increase headcount in the new year, while only 6 percent plan to reduce it. Majority (53 percent) just want to keep the status quo with the current headcount though.
"Employers are feeling confident enough to put hiring back on the agenda," said Hudson Singapore Regional Director Emmanuel White. "It's positive to see that organisations are planning for growth. However, the more buoyant the economy, the harder it will be to attract people with the right skills and experience. In this market, there will be strong competition for talent".
