Employers from these top 5 sectors eye boosting headcount in 2H

There'll be strong demand for support staff.

In a report, Michael Page has observed that the support area of companies will be the first to experience an increase in headcount, in particular
roles such as HR Business Partner and HR Talent Manager, as well as the IT, finance and sales and marketing functions.

According to half of surveyed employers in the human resources sector (50%), they are most likely to increase staff numbers in the second half of 2013.

The Michael Page Singapore business has also observed that hiring is strongest across other sectors including: retail and luxury goods, following openings of new shopping malls, oil and gas and offshore, with natural resources and new oil fields established in the region, property and construction, following an increase in demand for infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, rail and water pipeline) and the boom in the hospitality sector resulting in resort and hotel development, aviation, following an increase of demand for budget airlines and the city being a hub for the region, and shipping, as Singapore’s port continues to be the world’s busiest in terms of shipping tonnage handled and new development in the west.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
