Speaking from recent observations, Nilay
Khandelwal, Managing Director of Michael Page Singapore
says, "This marked increase in employment within industrial &
manufacturing is due to growth plans across semiconductor chip manufacturers, capital
equipment as well as electronics makers. The job functions in-demand are varied
across front-end roles such as design professionals, testing/verification to
back-end roles such as packaging, field support and quality management."
"Automation and digitalisation remain a key focus for most organizations and
there has been a consistent demand for automation professionals. Due to the
active technical employment market right now, job seekers are more inclined to
make a job move hence many companies are replacing their headcount as well as
hiring for their expansion plans at the same time," Nilay Khandelwal
continues.
Hiring in Sales
& Marketing almost doubled in Q2 2021 and as reported in the Michael Page Singapore Talent Trends
2021
report, these professionals are most in-demand within the Healthcare & Life
Sciences as well as FMCG sectors.
"With the progression of social media, marketing across all digital channels is
priority for companies who want to get their products and services seen in a
crowded consumer space. In order to ensure optimal visibility, companies who
can hire top performance marketeers skilled in driving campaigns, A/B testing
and maximising cost per acquisition will gain the competitive edge", comments Nilay Khandelwal.
An 11% rise in contracting job opportunities was also observed from Q1 to
Q2 which indicates an encouraging shift towards agile hiring in Singapore as
well. Nilay Khandelwal observes, "In these times of uncertainty, fixed-term
professional hiring provides a lot of flexibility and a variety of experience
in a short time. Contracting has proven itself to be a viable solution to
headcount limits or project hire, and can save cost and improve the flexibility
of the workforce."
