Guess which sectors intend to go on a hiring spree in 1H14

Will it still be an employees' market this year?

According to Achieve Group's Hiring Trends Report 1H 2014, the top sectors which intend to hire in 1H 2014 are healthcare and pharmaceutical, shipping and logistics, property and construction, lifestyle, retail, F&B, and oil and gas.

Joshua Yim, CEO of Achieve Group, said based on the findings of companies' business forecast, hiring outlook and projected to increase headcounts, it apprears that the business sentiment is generally more positive compared with the second half of last year. The demand for staff will continue this year and it will still be an employees' market as many companies will be hiring in the first half of the year, although the hiring may not be as agressive as compared with the last six-month period.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
