Hiring appetite of Singapore bosses dipped 8 percentage points

But there's still good news.

According to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey results released by Manpower Singapore, some job gains are anticipated in quarter 3 2013, with Singaporean employers reporting a seasonally adjusted Net Employment Outlook of +14%, although hiring intentions weaken by 2 and 8 percentage points from 2Q 2013 and 3Q 2012, respectively.

“With a strong construction projection for 2013, driven by more public housing and infrastructure construction works, the employment picture is rosy for the Mining and Construction sector where the seasonally adjusted outlook stands at 17%. Even though hiring prospects weaken moderately in comparison to last quarter and year by 2 and 8 percentage points, respectively, Singapore’s labour market is generally stable,” said Linda Teo, Country Manager of Manpower Singapore.

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.
