Singaporean job seekers are gunning for higher pay and better benefits to combat the escalating cost of living in the country, Hudson’s 2015 The Hiring Report: The State of Hiring in Singapore 2015 revealed.

A higher salary remains the top priority for 75% of professionals, while better benefits and career progression was named by 67% of professionals.

“With Singapore named the world’s most expensive city in 2014 by the Economist Intelligence Unit, money and benefits dominate job seekers’ agendas.

Cultural fit has also entered the top five priorities in 2015, with 59% of job seekers in Singapore today identifying it as a key consideration.

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.
