Discover the five most sought-after employers in Singapore

Reputation trumps salary in the dream job race.

Candidates value company reputation over benefits and incentives when it comes to Singapore’s top employers. A survey by JobStreet revealed that multinationals and home-grown conglomerates are the country’s most sought-after employers.

Singaporeans’ dream employer is search-engine giant Google. Multinational oil and gas firm Shell came in second, while flag carrier Singapore Airlines took the third spot. Exxon Mobil and Keppel Corporation claimed fourth and fifth spots respectively

Company reputation superseded salary as the prime reason why candidates want to work for these companies.
Benefits and incentives were chosen as candidates’ second consideration.

Salary was placed third followed by learning/training and development which was identified as the fourth preference. Claiming the fifth position was internal promotion prospects and career growth, which was identified as important for candidates to stay and grow in a company.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
